Okee Dokee Brothers - Can You Canoe? A Mississippi River Adventure Album (CD/DVD)05/15/12

he river has long served as a metaphor for poets, mystics and troubadours. Joe and Justin..aka, The Okee Dokee Brothers, invite children of all ages to join them on their own journey of discovery on this collection of songs originally conceived on their month long canoe trip down the Mississippi during the summer of 2011. The songs were recorded at Dean Jones' studio-workshop in Upstate New York. The results are filled with inventive, organic and colorful instrumentation along with harmonious vocals and consistently inspired lyrics. Along the way, The Band's Garth Hudson even joins them on songs inspired by Pete Seeger, Bill Monroe and Spike Jones. This is one of those rare records for kids that transcends its own audience. That's not to discount the postive Pied Piper-like influence this duo have on children. Bringing kids good music while inspiring them to experience the thrill of the natural world is invaluable. The music and the songs are so engaging, it will appeal to adults as well as children. Don't be surprised if you find yourself feeling motivated to get out and experience the huggable and unhuggable summer delights of Mother Nature during the summer of 2012!
