The Ballad of Phineas McBoof
by Chad Young, Nashville Parent & parentworld.com
 
This truly imaginative project offers more than just fun music. Young listeners are treated to an interwoven story between tunes about a guitar-playing monkey named Phineas McBoof and his travels around the globe putting together the wildest band imaginable. With friends like Backbone the Octopus (the eight-legged drummer), the bass-playing Bottomus the Hip Hippopotomus, a yodeling lizard and even a robot, little tikes are sure to sing along with the catchy tunes. A particular nod goes to opera star Nathan Gunn performing the role of Placido Flamingo. Chris Isaak‘s guitarist, Hershel Yatovitz, lends his six-string skills as well. Pack your bananas and enjoy the ride!
