Album Notes

You probably know Barry's song "All I Want is You" from the JUNO film and soundtrack. Barry's song was featured in the opening credits of the movie and is the first song on the soundtrack album which won a Grammy award and has sold over a million copies throughout the word. What you may not know is that Barry wrote and recorded that song in 1977 and has written over one hundred songs over the last three decades.

This new 2-disc set features artists from around the world covering Barry's songs. Sixty songs have been compiled by Aaron Cohen of The Radioactive Chicken Heads and re-imagined and performed by musicians in genres as diverse as hip-hop, folk, jazz, klezmer and rock. The album includes all of Barry's classic songs as well as three different covers of "All I Want is You" from JUNO -- including one sung entirely in French by a singer in Brittany.

There are few genres more earnest than children's music, but thankfully, Polisar finds room for self-deprecation.

A Must!

Deliciously Subversive
author: Kathy O'Connell, Metro Kids, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and host
                            
Deliciously subversive musical humor. Hand this to a fan of alternative rock without mentioning Polisar's kids' song roots, and they'll never know the difference.
