Extra-terrestrial URR, last met in the award-winning The
Spaceship That Fell in My Backyard returns to Earth to visit with Emilia
again, and to help her clean up Kokowanda Bay. The multi-award-winning
mother-daughter duo, Ruth Weber and Emilia Lopez-Yanez, present another rousing
album of 11 songs, in various styles of rock, calypso, and pop. Their vocals
combine in some wonderful harmonies. The tunes are cheery, bouncy, lively, and
dance-inducing, accompanied by great performances on guitars, piano, oboe, saxophone,
brass, trumpet, drums, and harmonica. Instead of sleeping in, one should “Get
on Up” and spread one’s love. In “Who Would Believe It’s True, URR returns to Earth
because there is more to learn. “Kokowanda Bay” is a great place to spend a
Saturday. A “Little Kid with a Great Big Heart” can help pick up trash and
garbage around the bay. Growing plants, emerging butterflies, and hatching
birds all seem “Like Magic” events. Determined to reduce their carbon
footprint, “We’re Goin’ Green” by turning off lights, recycling, and composting.
“With My Snorkel On”, I can see underwater ocean animals much more clearly. One
can “Turn It into Something New” by recycling old clothes, cans, and boxes into
something new. The other songs are “The Food Chain,” “Good Friends Never Really
Say Goodbye,” and “Soaring Through the Galaxy.” This excellent album will encourage listeners
to go green.
