It's great bluesy, old style reggae (I guess some would call it roots, but that's corny and applies to so much crappy stuff as well). But it's the gays, who know a thing or two about a plague, who score the highest marks: Rufus Wainwright pays homage to the death of the firstborn with "Katonah," a bluesy elegy in three-quarter time, while Stephin Merritt of the Magnetic Fields gets his Depeche Mode on for "The Meaning of Lice," a lo-fi synthpop romp of mechanized hand claps, monophonic melodies, and hilarious rhymes. The music ranges from bluegrass to bluesy sing-alongs, and the energetic rhymes combined with parent-child bonding are sure to stimulate cognitive, physical and social development. |
