BOOKLIST - March 15, 1999
"Skip West has composed and performs 12 multinational songs whose rhythms and melodies represent many lands. The percussive drumming is especially entertaining for dancing, clapping and moving, and skillful lead guitar sets the pace for some wonderful instrumental solos. The dialect in "Sunday Gumbo" adds flavor to the country music in this amusing song, whose imaginative lyrics are surprising and funny. "Everybody Needs to Get Along" stresses the universal desires and emotions shared by people around the world. The rap song "Everybody Jump" is a great icebreaker and waker-upper, enhanced by terrific instrumental solos. The concluding "Kids Are the Future" is a splashy Broadway-like production with brassy musical accompaniment."

BOOKLIST - March 15, 1999
"Appealing to kids, musically bright, and eminently danceable are the 12 eclectic tunes. A children's chorus and great instrumental interludes of acoustic and electric guitar, dulcimer, banjo, and oboe help out. West's performance is lyrical and clear; even the chorus is precise and not muddy. "Give Just a Little" is a rocking tune for twisters. "Blue Sky City" has a blues beat with superb trombone solo and it is just outstanding for dancing; in fact all these songs make good dance tunes. The most original and up-to-date number is the funny techo-song "I Think My Computer's in Love." "Kids Like to Boogie Too" has a fun beat with wacky percussions. There are also the songs promoting self-confidence, warning kids about strangers, and encouraging recycling as well as cuts with other rhythmic messages."
