This foot-tapping, finger-snapping collection is done with a fresh approach. Tom brings humor and imagination to children in Billy the Squid. Parents will be thrilled with this variety of amusing, thought-provoking songs that they, too, can enjoy even after listening for the 20th time. Chapin plays the guitar and banjo throughout the album, while Roseanne Cash and Branford Marsalis join him on the rousing selection "All of My Friends." ~ MusD

"The original tunes [on Billy The Squid] all demonstrate Chapin's unsurpassed wit, melody, and affectionate respect for youngsters." ...

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Tom Chapin rocks!
My kids grew up listenng to Tom Chapin. His kids' albums are great. They are musically excellent, the lyrics are fun without talking down to kids and they teach about ecology without being preachy. Now that my oldest is teaching Kindergarten she asked me to find this album for her class. I was glad to get it so I could hear it again myself.

Tom Chapin Some Assembly Required CD  (2005)

Billy The Squid album
CD $12.25  Top 500 Audio Samples
Harry Chapin's younger brother Tom has had a successful career of recording songs for children since the late 1980s. Bridging the gap between songs for the very young and bubblegum music, Chapin's unpretentious material is both entertaining and intellectually stimulating, predating late-'90s kid-oriented artists ...

Tom Chapin Zag Zig CD  (1994)

Billy The Squid album
CD $11.55  Audio Samples
Tom Chapin is simply one of the most charming performers in the entire children's music field, and Zag Zig is one of his best. Whether it's the zesty horn charts and witty lyrics of "Vitamin Si," or "The Backwards Birthday Party," or this album's installment of the adventures of Bruno, "Bruno's Christmas On The Mall," it's a singalong fun-fest. Topping it off is Chapin's tale of a youngster looking for a way to be a music hero. "Johnny Glockenspiel" is hysterical, danceable, and totally irresistible. ~ Ross Boissoneau "Zag Zig is truly one of those rare recordings that offers something for everyone in the whole family." ...

CD $10.65  Top 500 Audio Samples
For anyone hasn't watched episodes of the Disney animated series PHINEAS AND FERB, it's highly recommended. It is a Saturday morning cartoon comedy that stars two irrepressibly inventive, multi-talented mischievous nerd geniuses (who happen to be stepbrothers), their vain, hyperactive, scheming sister Candace, and their pet platypus that happens to be a secret agent fighting an evil scientist. The plots are standard, and sometimes so are the jokes, but the characters aren't. One of the show's highpoints is the music, from Bowling For Soup's theme song "Today ...
Kids Nursery Rhymes, Vol. 1
Kids Nursery Rhymes, Vol. 1 CD  (2002)

Billy The Squid music CDs
CD $6.09  Audio Samples
Kids Nursery Rhymes, Vol. 1 is an intriguing collection of children's music standards and strange gems from a scarier past. It begins with an odd little song called "Aerophane Jelly" that may or may not be about the tasty French treat. With its female-chorus vocals and loping, slightly unsettling rhythm, the song suggests the campy, naïve genius of the Shaggs, or those deceptively twee ditties that always accompany the crazed maniacs' childhood flashbacks in 1980s slasher flicks. In fact, many of the tunes on Kids Nursery Rhymes, Vol. 1 have more in common with the bizarre antics of Deerhoof or Petra Haden's 1999 masterpiece, Imaginaryland -- artists and albums that reprocess the candyfloss and whimsy of children's albums into twisted ...

NO HARM DONE, COQUETTE THE SONGS OF BABBIE GREEN AND JOHNNY GREEN With Babbie Green, John Boswell and Julie EspositoThe Great American Songbook is not just history, it is history still in the making. Johnny Green wrote the music for such standards as BODY AND SOUL, I COVER THE WATERFRONT, OUT OF NOWHERE...lasting treasures...ask any jazz cat worldwide!...in addition to winning 5 Academy Awards (nominated 14 times) for his brilliant handling of other peoples’ music. His award-winning daughter, Babbie Green, continues in the family business. She is one of the most sung songwriters in the world of cabaret. John Boswell, also composer/singer/pianist extraordinaire, with 7 of his own cds distributed worldwide, has worked with Green fille for 7 years, the cd of this show being their third joint venture on disc. Even before being released, it has received airplay, back to back with Frank Sinatra’s recordings of the same songs. Julie Esposito is another “daughter of...”. Her father was the Grammy nominated late jazz pianist/musical director Gene Esposito. Her UNSUNG HOLLYWOOD cd is a jewel box of songs from the silver screen, getting great reviews and airplay all over the country. This show of this cd, about to play in L.A.
