Multi-award winning Sara Lovell performs
13 rocking and beautiful songs of the end of the day on her 3rd album in rock, disco
funk, R & B, pop, and folk musical styles. Sara’s lovely voice handles each
musical style with aplomb and is joined by other vocalists who contribute gorgeous
harmonies and descants. Great musical performances can also be heard on guitar,
bass, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, piano, horns, synth, shaker, tambourine, triangle,
chimes, glockenspiel, whistle, harmonica, kalimba, drums, and percussion. This
Parents’ Choice Gold Award winning album starts off with the lively “I Don’t
Want to Go to Bed,” (I just want to keep playing on). Planet hopping, trapeze flying,
and deep-sea diving are among the activities in one child’s “Nightlife.” A
variety of animals are making too much noise, so send them outdoors, but “Leave
the Monkey.” There’s
a “Rocket” in the sky and it’s waiting there for me. An owl keeps a log of the
miles of dreams that the “Sleepwalkers” travel. Furry intruders, “Scooter and
Skeeter” produce vibrating purrs at the end of the song. “I Don’t Sleep in a
Bed” because I am sleeping in a tent with my dog. A child makes friends with “Little
Bug.” Another child begs “Bed Oh Bed” to be allowed to stay awake and play. A
parent encourages their child to “Wear Yourself Out Now” so they can sleep
later. “Rock-a-Bye My Baby,” “How the Jungle Sleeps, and “Lullaby for Grownups”
will help young ones drift off to sleep. Well-deserving of the award, Lovell’s
catchy tunes and clever lyrics will please adults as well as children.
