These Atlanta, Georgia, pops can rock! Stay-at-home-dad John Boydston and Walt Brewer (ex-Jody Grind) have cleverly blended their passions for parenting and rock & rolling with the supergroovy Daddy à Go-Go release, Cool Music for Cool Kids. Tackling subject matter ranging from the merits of brushing your teeth to the pleasures of fatherhood to carpooling and diaper changing, Daddy à Go-Go fills the gap for hip parents and kids with a hankering for something cooler and more substantive than Barney, edgier than Raffi. Daddy à Go-Go makes jubilant jangle-pop recalling the '80s heyday of Athens, Georgia, as well as '60s three-chord pop. "I Can Swing By Myself" and "Ants in My Pants" are infectious bass-heavy twang-rockers, and the carpool song kicks some serious Neil Young-style booty. Instrumentals such as "The Thang from Planet Twang," "Chop 'Till You Drop," and "Glad to Be a Dad" are surf and rockabilly inflected explorations in sound and the boogie that follows. From Boydston's delightful originals to the Dads' covers of themes from Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, Daddy à Go-Go does a family good. --Paige La Grone

Album Description

"Cool Songs for Cool Kids" is Daddy A Go Go's first CD and was named to Amazon.com's first ever Top 10 Best Kids Records of the Year List (1999) and continues to be a favorite among Daddy a Go Go fans. All Music Guide writes: "Cool Songs for Cool Kids is a great introduction to Daddy a Go-Go's cool sound. The title of Daddy a Go-Go's debut Cool Songs for Cool Kids tells most of the story behind the album, though it leaves out the key ingredient of its appeal: the cool dads that comprise Daddy a Go-Go. Walt Brewer and John Boydston mix elements of surf, rockabilly, bubblegum, and classic rock and playful themes into 15 fun songs for kids and parents. Rough, jangly covers of the theme songs to Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, surfy instrumentals like "The Thang From Planet Twang," and witty originals like "Dads in the Sky" and "Daddy's Diaper Blues" reflect the different sides of Daddy a Go-Go's fun, unique style." Its a kids record that doesn't talk down to kids (or to parents) and begins the Daddy a Go Go tradition of never insulting anyone's intelligence, while keeping it fun. Daddy a Go Go has 5 CD's, so check out Daddy A Go Go's other 4 CD's here at Amazon.com, starting with the 2006 release "Eat Every Bean and Pea On Your Plate," one of Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD"s of the Year Choices. Also Parents Choice Award Winner "Monkey In The Middle," which was also named to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids Records of the Year in 2000. "Big Rock Rooster" expands Daddy a Go Go's notion of rock and roll for the family with rom covers of Allan Sherman's "Hello Muddah,Hello Faddah" and a punchy version of "Come On Get Happy", to fun clever originals like "I Wanna Be An Action Figure" and "I Think I Might Be a Dog." And in 2004 Daddy A Go Go won a 2nd Parents Choice Award with "Mojo A Go Go - Real Rock For Kids" CD, which was again named to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD's The Year List. Check out these other CD's as well, and look for Daddy A Go Go's 5th CD release in spring 2006. Check them all out.

Did not like this at all..........2007-02-06

I was very disappointed in this album. I bought it after reading the reviews, many of which stated that this album was one they enjoyed listening to as much as their kids. In my opinion, it sounds very canned and synthy. But it just might be my taste. I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Mitchell, whose instrumentation is very minimal and whose songs really stand on the vocals and the lyrics. Daddy a Go-Go's songs are too chaotic for me!

fun songs.......2005-08-24

This is a fun dance CD. We haven't tried it in the car yet, but we have a great time singing the ABC's and my favorite, Speed Racer.

Parent-Friendly Kids' Music.......2000-12-30

This is one of only a few of our kids' cds that my husband & I don't mind hearing over & over. The kids are three & five, and, of course, want to hear the same cd again and again - this one is actually tolerable even if you've already heard it five times that day....it's also good for getting the kids moving - it's very danceable.

We love this CD!.......2000-09-10

This is a great CD. My 3-year-old daughter can't help but dance when she hears it. The first time I played it, she sang the alphabet to the "Alphabet Song". It's great to find such a fabulous collection of kids' music all on one CD. We played the CD 3 times the first day we had it. Buy this one!

Fun Music for All Ages!.......2000-03-14

We bought this album because we wanted music that the whole family could enjoy, an does it deliver! Often with children's music the songs can get pretty boring after awhile. This CD is full of fun dance tunes and even throws in a little lesson on personal hygiene with "brush your teeth!". Our three year old has been listening and dancing to it since he was 21 months old. We know our 3 month old will love it too. We can't wait for more from these Go-Go Daddies!

the best player.......2004-01-25

charlie bisharat is a tremendous violin player. Having played with artists such as John Tesh and Straunz and Farah, Bisharat
demonstrates the has the ability to play any style on the violin.
In Along The Amazon, the use of the zeta violin plays a key role
in giving a clear sound to the music along with Bisharat's
precise technique. He's obviously one of the best violin virtuosos of our time. I hope he releases an album soon!!!!!

Great CD!.......2003-07-24

Charlie Bisharat has taken the violin the a whole different and contemporary level in his work with Strunz & Farah, John Tesh, and especially on this album. I think Along the Amazon is a great album and Charlie's talent combines with the sleek sound of the Zeta Jazz Electric Violin to create one of the best solo violin albums I have ever heard. In fact, I personally think he is a better violinist than Jean-Luc Ponty, but Charlie is not as well known. I am also wondering why he hasn't recorded another solo album since '93. If you like this album, purchase John Tesh, Live at the Red Rocks, in which Charlie is John's right hand man on the acoustic and electric violin. Also try purchasing any one of Jean-Luc Ponty's vast collection of albums.

Note: If anyone knows how i can contact Charlie via email, address, etc., please post a review.

Boundless Enegry and Talent.......2002-06-09

This an incredible album. The energy that comes from charlie's music is inspirational. He is a master of his craft! Charlie makes his violin sound like an orchestra. The range of emotion in his music is a gift. My favorite tracks are Elysian Fields, Madison Avenue and Ladera Heights. If you enjoy this album, Charlie has appeared with Strunz and Farah on several of their albums.

Beautiful music! Will take you to the Amazon & beyond!!.......1999-02-10

Why hasn't Charles done another album since 1995?! His violin playing flows beautifully and takes me to another place!

Dads raised on the Beatles, the Stones, and old rockabilly and surf licks don't fade away or burn out, they just plug in and rock their kids. On Monkey in the Middle, daddy-o supreme John Boydston, his good buddies, and occasionally his children conspire to dish out melodically memorable pop-rock tunes that are as smart as they are kid- and adult-friendly. While Boydston can't decide whether he wants to be Buddy Holly, Brian Wilson from his "Surfer Girl" period, or Mick Jagger, in the end it doesn't matter since Boydston writes, plays, and emotes with enough panache and rock-history knowledge to bring a smile to even the most jaded rock fan. Dig the musical allusions and jangly guitars sprinkled throughout the 15-song disc, whether it's the "Jumpin' Jack Flash"-like backups that pepper "Thank the Farmer" or the hip instrumental, "Got Milk (If You Want It)." With covers of the "Theme from The Courtship of Eddie's Father" or a tasty remake of the Vaselines' "Molly's Lips" (called "Mommy's Lips"), Daddy A Go Go proves that good taste, creative ingenuity, and good times are a rock legacy every kid deserves to get from a rock-savvy father. Go Dad go. --Martin Keller

Album Description

MONKEY IN THE MIDDLE was name to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD's of 2000, and won a 2000 Parents Choice Award.

It's a logical and worthy follow-up to Daddy A Go Go's Debut CD "Cool Songs For Cool Kids" (also on Amazon.com's Top 10 Best List the year before) being for slightly older kids (in the 4-7 range) because that's how old Daddy A Go Go founder John Boydston and drummer Walt Brewer's kids were when they were putting this CD together. Instead of songs about the ABC's, brushing teeth, and Scooby Doo, "MONKEY IN THE MIDDLE" has slightly older subject matter, like in 2nd grade when "The Girls Are Always Chasing Me," and kids start getting into the fad of the week "The Fever," and learning about their world "Thank The Farmer." And there are a couple of cool covers like Harry Nilsson's "Best Friend" from the 'Courtship of Eddies's Father' TV Show. Daddy A Go Go does not pick cover songs lightly.

All Music Guide writes: "The rockin' dad duo Daddy a Go-Go returns with Monkey in the Middle, another collection of playful, rowdy originals for cool kids and parents. From the honky-tonk-tinged title track to jangly songs like "Coulda Shoulda Woulda" and "You're Not the Bossa Nova Me" — which sounds startlingly like a G-rated Reverend Horton Heat song — Daddy a Go-Go manages to mix hip rock references and kid-friendly lyrics into a winning combination. "Birthday Song" borrows a chorus or two from the Beatles' "Birthday"; "Mommy's Lips" is a reworking of the Vaselines' classic "Molly's Lips." As much rollicking fun as it is, Monkey in the Middle's greatest strength is its refusal to condescend to either children or parents. A fine way for parents to turn their children into budding music fans, this album is completely charming for listeners of all ages."

Not for young kids unaccustomed to rock n roll.......2003-06-30

This is a fun CD, no doubt about it. However, be warned that if your young children are not quite ready to rock out, this may not appeal to them. My kids, 5 and 2, are used to the clean and clear pop sounds of the Wiggles. They also love the clear acoustic sounds of Ralph's World. Daddy a Go Go is not like those. This is loose, party rock n roll music reminiscent of an early 60's American garage band -- A sort of "Animal House for kids" soundtrack. I kept expecting to hear "Louie Louie" on this disc. Like that song, the vocals are buried in the mix, so my kids had a hard time hearing the words.

Don't get me wrong, this is a well-made and fun collection of songs. I think I'll just put it away for a year or two until my kids are ready to rock.

Way cool music for way cool kids, AND their 'rents!.......2003-03-22

My Grandkid loves Daddy-A-Go-Go. So do I! Eeek!, July 7, 2000
Reviewer: Chris Curle from Marco Island, Florida
I gave my grandkids Cool Songs for Cool Kids and Monkey In The Middle and
had to get two more for me for my car. John Boydston sneaks in all the fun
stuff from the music I grew up with and delivers it to yet another
generation with good ol' rock n' roll rhythym and style. Love it!s

Great alternative to traditional kids songs!.......2000-07-12

I am a teacher for the Southern Illinios University Head Start program and bought this CD and the Cool Songs for Cool Kids CD during a summer hunt for new music to use in the classroom. I personally loved the rythym and fun lyrics in the songs. My family previewed the CD's at home (I have a six year old daughter)and we danced the night away. There is a song for every child to relate to. I will definitely use it in my classroom. Great job Daddy-A-GoGo!

Hip, musical fun for kids and grown-ups.......2000-07-11

Few kids or parents will be able to sit still while listening to the toe-tapping energy that drives this lively collection of rock songs for today's kids. The lyrics are relevant to the lives of modern children, including a song about the Pokemon craze ("The Fever"), while much of the humor (and there's a lot of it) is timeless. I especially like the funny "Knock Knock" which features kids' voices and a bluesy harmonica in the background. This is more than just silly kids' stuff, though. The instrumental "Got Milk" is a quiet, beautiful piece and "Thank the Farmer" is a thoughtful homage to those who grow our food. The inclusion of "Best Friend" (from the TV show "Courtship of Eddie's Father") is a sweet inspiration. This is a wonderful musical treat for the whole family.

If you have kids .. you should have this.......2000-07-07

My daughter loves this record (whoops... that dates me!) or rather CD .. she loves having her "own music" and I love knowing that it is fun, good spirited and upbeat. Nasty tempers in the car and at home are smoothed over by a promise of letting her listen to "her cd" ... And I like the music, which makes it easier to listen to over and over again ... it's not sappy or stupid and it doesn't talk down to children like some kids music does.
