The Mudcakes

You want to introduce your kids to Americana music, but you're hoping to avoid murder ballads that say things like "dig a hole in the meadow" to bury the woman just killed. Mudcakes can help. They don't spend much of their time on nursery rhymes, but neither do they plumb the darker depths of the American songbook. Instead, subjects like diaper changes and learning to crawl join up with blues, rockabilly and plain old folk music, all professionally delivered and nicely sung.
