Dog Train : A Wild Ride on the Rock-and-roll Side

Boynton rocks! So does Blues Traveler, who perform a stomping version of the title song, a moody rock journey that Boynton wrote especially for them. And then there's Alison Krauss with "Evermore." And Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme - really - who do the "Boring Song." The Spin Doctors, who channel rock's rebellious side - with a taste of punk - for "Tantrum": "No No No, I don't want to, I don't want to. No no no, I don't want to, no no. Leave me alone. Leave me alone. Leave Me Alone." And the sweetly unexpected pairing of "Weird Al" Yankovic and Kate Winslet (yep, Kate Winslet) as a duet singing "I Need a Nap." Full of attitude, full of fun, all lit up with star power, and boasting a variety of top 40 styles - rock and roll, blues, hip-hop, and power pop - "Dog Train" is the third book - and - CD production by Sandra Boynton, following the No. 1 "New York Times" bestselling, Grammy-nominated "Philadelphia Chickens" and the recently re-released "Rhinoceros Tap". Like "Philadelphia Chickens", "Dog Train" features all original songs recorded by a mix of big-name acts and great voices, for the pleasure of the parents as much as the kids. Packaged similarly to the previous Boynton and Ford recordings, "Dog Train" is also a full-color book that features a portion of each song's lyrics set as a little story, accompanied by Boynton's irresistible hippos, cows, dogs, and more dogs. Full lyrics appear in the back.
