Featuring the sounds of a hippo in a snowstorm, a gigantic and fantastic dooflicky machine, and a singing slug, Mr. Sounds serves up an acoustic mix of folk, rock, jazz and bluegrass for all ages. Witty word play, energetic dance beats, scores of silly sounds and wacky character voices, and great acoustic playing are the common musical threads that run through every song, including ten original tunes and two children’s classics (Mama Don’t Allow and Come to My Farm). Across the 12 songs, Mr. Sounds aims to provide high quality acoustic music that is educational and fun for children, teachers, parents, and grandparents.
