Boynton rocks! So does Blues Traveler, who perform a
stomping version of the title song, a moody rock journey that
Boynton wrote especially for them. And then there''s Alison Krauss
with "Evermore." And Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme - really - who
do the "Boring Song." The Spin Doctors, who channel rock''s
rebellious side - with a taste of punk - for "Tantrum": "No No No,
I don''t want to, I don''t want to. No no no, I don''t want to, no no.
Leave me alone. Leave me alone. Leave Me Alone." And the sweetly
unexpected pairing of "Weird Al" Yankovic and Kate Winslet yep,
Kate Winslet as a duet singing "I Need a Nap." Full of attitude,
full of fun, all lit up with star power, and boasting a variety of
top 40 styles - rock and roll, blues, hip-hop, and power pop - "Dog
Train" is the third book - and - CD production by Sandra Boynton,
following the No. 1 "New York Times" bestselling, Grammy-nominated
"Philadelphia Chickens" and the recently re-released "Rhinoceros
Tap". Like "Philadelphia Chickens", "Dog Train" features all
original songs recorded by a mix of big-name acts and great voices,
for the pleasure of the parents as much as the kids. Packaged
similarly to the previous Boynton and Ford recordings, "Dog Train"
is also a full-color book that features a portion of each song''s
lyrics set as a little story, accompanied by Boynton''s irresistible
hippos, cows, dogs, and more dogs. Full lyrics appear in the
back.
