ROUND AND ROUND: Kids' Songs for Mixed Ages

Mike Block and Barry Rothman

Release Date: June 10, 2022

Since becoming a father 3 years ago, I've become intimately aware of so many classic songs for children. The appeal of these songs span many countries and centuries, and there is a simple genius to the best of them. This album was a cathartic experience, reclaiming songs I’ve heard a million times by engaging with them creatively and exploring their limits. My hope is that kids can enjoy listening to these familiar songs in a new way, while also providing some extra interest for the parents in the room, as well. :) - Mike Block

ROUND AND ROUND. Revolve to evolve. It can be difficult to trace the true origins and meanings of some of these songs. No doubt they’ve been adapted and morphed through time and place, ending up in our collective consciousness to become an invaluable aid for learning and teaching. It has always been round and round since the very beginning of recorded kid’s music well over a century ago, starting with wax cylinders and 78rpm shellac disc evolving to vinyl 33rpm LPs and 45rpm singles to cassettes and compact discs. On this recording we continued the tradition by incorporating loops and phonographs to spin, twist and bend, creating something different right around the curve but never just going around in circles. - Barry Rothman
