    Album Description

    Children's musician Chris Hamilton follows up his critically-acclaimed, kid-and-parent-loved Sticky Situations CD (2004) with Boogie Child, an all-new collection of 15 lively, original songs celebrating the sillier side of modern life for school-age kids.

    Hamilton meets many families who share their hilarious anecdotes and for Boogie Child he took inspiration from those stories to create the songs "I Didn't Know" & "Mamma's In the Minivan". He also finds humour in seemingly mundane events for songs like "The Worst Haircut" and "The Dentist" then jumps to total silliness for songs like "Worm Germs", "Silly Songs" and "You're An Animal!", a current `hit' at his live shows. Songs like "Middle Child Blues", "Super-powered Superhero" and "Six to Eight Weeks" spring directly from Hamilton's own childhood experiences.

    Without ever getting preachy, Hamilton also cleverly works in a few positive ideas about global awareness, co-operation and self-esteem in "Kids Are Kids Around the World", "Let's Build" and the title tune "Boogie Child".

    Best known for his humour, offstage Hamilton takes children's music very seriously. "Kids deserve quality music and quality writing. The parents who buy my CDs should feel like that was money well spent," he says. From the rehearsals and recording to manufacturing he insists that everyone involved treat the project with the same professionalism as a recording for adults.

    To that end, Hamilton has once again gathered many of his friends in the Vancouver music scene to fill out the sound for Boogie Child including musicians who have played with The Clumsy Lovers, 54-40 and The Paperboys along with the regulars from his terrific back-up group, the Sticky Jam Band. Many musicians were required for the different sounds on Boogie Child because Hamilton crosses the musical map from Rock to Funk, Blues to Punk, Bluegrass to Beatnik Jazz, Ska and even Disco!

    5 out of 5 stars Entertaining for kids and adults.......2007-01-12

    Clever, very funny lyrics and catchy tunes. My seven year-old loves this album so much we had to replace a lost copy. I think my husband and I like it even better than she does, since we walk around singing the songs (and not for the usual reason: that annoying children's tunes can get stuck in one's head until one has the overwhelming desire to bang said noggin against the nearest wall). Nope, this is just plain fun music for any age.

    My daughter Cassidy and I both love this CD Chris is an excellent musician. This CD gets played regularly and every mom that I know when they hear it want a copy. The songs are fun and the kids can relate to the situations in the songs. This is a CD that every parent should have in their collection and if you ever get the chance to see Chris perform live you should do it he is an amazing live performer.

    My daughters and myself love dancing to the groovy tunes of STICKY SITUATIONS. We dance in the kitchen to the tunes of "Walking in the Swamp", "The Time I sneezed In French Class", &"Lily, What's in your Hair?",while multi-tasking cooking and baking! Our family relates to songs like <"The day I Tried to Shampoo Rover" & "The Worst Place to Be" Thank you for enriching our daily lives with creative songs that really STICK!!!

    5 out of 5 stars What an exellent CD!.......2004-11-26

    My son and daughter both love this music. They sing and dance with it at home. The fabulous CD is one of their favorite ones while we are in the car. That is more than ok for mommy as well! It makes you feel happy. My kids' favorite songs are the one about Lily and the Sleeping Bugs song. Actually all the songs are catchy. We love the whole CD!

    5 out of 5 stars Can't get enough!.......2004-07-08

    Every since my daughter first heard Chris Hamilton play she was addicted. She listens to his CD all the time. She just had to take her cousin to his concert and now the two of them dance and sing to his CD all the time. His songs are great and have kids of all ages laughing and singing along. We hope that there is a music video comming out soon too!
    Keep it comming Chris!
