Album Notes

"In Milkshake's short seven years together, the band has released three award-winning CDs, a Parents Choice Silver Award for their DVD Screen Play, and had music videos on Noggin, PBS KIDS and Discovery Kids’ Emmy-winning ToddWorld. The band has never stopped growing and evolving. Great Day is Milkshake's fourth CD for kids and kids at heart. In keeping with the band's desire to grow with their own children, the songs on Great Day touch on issues of friendship, age, self-esteem, goals and ambitions among other things--things that matter to a 6 to 10 year-old. Like all Milkshake CDs, the music transcends age, and both younger and older fans will enjoy this new release. As Parents magazine says: "If kids don't push the replay button, parents will."

The music on Great Day finds Milkshake having fun with different musical genres—from the country twang of “When I’m Old,” the New Orleans-style “Statue of Me,” surfy “Dance in the Sun” or Beatles-esque title track while still retaining their signature sound of lush harmonies and a rock backbone. Special guests include Cathy Fink, Marcy Marxer and Rodney Henry. Produced by Tor Hyams (Joan Osborne, Edwin McCain).
