From Fredericksburg, Virginia, Adegbalola’s profession has been as a teacher, although she has been playing music for many years, including co-founding the group Saffire - The Uppity Blues Women. This is a children’s-based album, showcasing many styles of blues, mostly originals. Would be perfect companion to Apple Brains or Dan Zanes. Fun and strong stuff throughout. No FCC’s.
*My Favorites*: 1, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12
1. *(3:11) Mid. Upbeat, danceable groover. Great percussion, long fade-out.
2. (2:09) Slow / Mid. Sparse, spoken acoustic start, then full rockin’ band.
3. *(2:17) Mid / Fast. Jump blues w/ boogie piano. Rollickin’ fun.
4. (2:30) Mid. Classic done as a ’50’s r’n’r style, nice piano, guitar, backing vocals.
5. (3:36) Slow / Mid. James Brown song, Adegbalola lyrics. Doo-wop w/ backing vocals.
6. *(3:20) Mid. Slide guitar, snare drums, catchy.
7. *(3:04) Mid. Laid back w/ acoustic guitar, harmonica, percussion. Fun family song.
8. *(3:01) Mid. Upbeat, rockin’ with elec. guitar, handclaps, piano.
9. *(5:00) Slow. Chicago-style low-down blues. Mean guitar, sweet piano.
10. (2:36) Mid / Fast. Funky groover w/ solid percussion, piano, guitar.
11. *(2:17) Mid. Bo Diddley beat w/ shaker, killer piano.
12. *(2:10) Mid. A cappella duet w/ handclaps. Great.
13. (3:26) Mid. Upbeat New Orleans beat w/ great piano, percussion, guitar lead.
14. (3:47) Mid. Classic w/ reggae feel played by a banjo.
