About the Artist
Got the blues? Well so do your kids. Life is tough. And way too fast. Kids have to deal with busy parents. And their silly siblings. Then school: With a runny nose. A backpack that's too heavy. Or a bully that's too pushy. So you have to laugh about it. Or sing with it. And that's what Even Kids Get the Blues™ is all about. Songs written from a kid's perspective. By an adult, that never really grew up. Who loves to laugh, sing and play harmonica. Lp Camozzi has three beautiful kids - now all in university. They all participated in the production of the CD. His wife of twenty plus years encouraged him to express himself in music. It helped Lp get through the loss of both his mother and father. Of whom he writes with love, respect and humor. Even Kids Get the Blues is a warm, personal tribute to life as a kid - whether you were born in the 50's or the 2000's Your kids will relate. You will relate. And you will laugh together.

Album Description

2004 NAPPA Honors Award!

The blues are about to be discovered by a whole new generation!

"Even Kids Get The Blues" is an outstanding collection of 16 original blues songs designed to introduce children to this dynamic music genre, and to demonstrate that expressing their own real-life feelings and experiences through the blues is nothing short of empowering.

Twelve talented young vocalists tackle the challenges of growing up with sensitivity, a sense of humor, and a lot of irresistible music. The recording's authentic sound and wide range of blues styles were masterfully created by The Unknown Blues Band, whose musicians have played with legends such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Etta James, Junior Wells, Howlin' Wolf, and Paul Butterfield. B.B. King sideman Big Joe Burrell adds his distinctive voice to two numbers, and Memphis-born jazz and blues vocalist Sandra Wright is featured on the poignant bonus track, "Baby Blues."

The recording opens with a lighthearted tribute to sibling rivalry, set to the tune of the John Hiatt classic "Riding With The King." Whether commiserating with down-on-his-luck "Lonely Latchkey Lou," cheerfully swaying to "Backhoe Girl," or bravely facing the absence of a parent like on "Chop an Onion (Cry Your Blues Away)," children ages 7-12 now have a unique opportunity to experience the allure of the blues firsthand.

In the accompanying lyric booklet, guitarist and songwriter Paul Asbell provides informative and entertaining comments on the blues heritage that inspired each song. Original artwork by renowned children's book author and illustrator Thacher Hurd (Mama Don't Allow, Zoom City, Art Dog) graces the cover and the booklet.

Great for parents and educators.......2007-02-05

I'm a music teacher and I bought this to help me introduce my fifth grade students to the blues and jazz music in general. Once I played them "Hug Me, Mommy Hug Me" the blues seemed to be much more accessible to them (it's a pretty funny song). I am quite grateful that someone took the time to make a recording like this! I also loved the quality of singing in this CD - it is difficult to find good children's singing these days without it being too "poppish" or trying too hard to imitate the American Idols. The kids can totally relate to the lyrics while learning that singing beautifully with style isn't impossible for them. I recommend this 100%!
