Synopsis

Product Description
SCHOOLHOUSE ROCK MEETS BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY: Roger Day's fourth release of family music "Why Does Gray Matter? And Other Brainy Songs for Kids" features 14 tracks that make innovative use of "the brain" as as theme for every song. "I'm pretty sure it's the first recording session in Nashville that researched Web MD for fact facts," says Roger. "One song "The Brain Train" is even co-written with a college friend, Dr. John-Paul Bouffard, who is a real-life neuropathologist." In fact, The Schoolhouse Rock quality of this project is impossible to ignore and one of its best features. If you didn't hear these songs on this CD first, you might think you knew them from watching cartoons on Saturday mornings years ago. For this reason, Roger's music counts adults as some of his biggest fans. "I've had more than one parent admit they listen to my songs even when their kids aren't around." Roger's hope is that these songs will encourage kids that they have all the answers they need -- right now -- inside their brains. All they've got to do is jump on the "Brain Train", "Get Your Brain in Gear" and start to "Build a Better World. In fact, maybe that's the answer to Why Does Gray Matter? FEATURED TRACKS: SARA BELLUM, THE BRAINY GIRL She's got the IQ of Einstein and can't wait to tackle the toughest questions. THE LEFT BRAIN/RIGHT BRAIN SONG Baroque string quartet on the left meets British Punk Rock band on the right to clear up any confusion about which side does what THE BRAIN TRAIN A tour through Ringo Starr's brain during the nanosecond he thinks about playing his drums to show time. Co-written with Dr. John-Paul Bouffard, MD MONKEY BRAINS A plausible explanation for anyone who's had trouble focusing in class. Which might be Roger come to think of it. BRAIN FREEZE! An important warning about the dangers of the "cerebral-atory" milkshake BRAIN FOOD - EAT IT UP! If the B-52s had a song about the best foods for brain health, this would be it. WHY DOES GRAY MATTER? For such a complex thing, why is my brain such a boring color? INSIDE MY CRANIUM All the hail the prince of procrastination. Eventually GET YOUR BRAIN IN GEAR NASCAR for your brain. CONCENTRATION (TURN YOUR BRAIN) Alice in Wonderland meets Jimi Hendrix SHAKE UP YOUR BRAIN Recording live at Walnut Grove Elementary School in Franklin, TN with The Mosquito Burrito Brothers
