I am always attracted to projects that throw any kind of "that's the way children's music should be" notion out the window. such is the case with this Hammond B-3 organ and drum duo.

Here's how their press release explains it. "Imagine that Deep Purple and Sly and the Family Stone had a love child that grew up in New Orleans listening to Ray Charles, Black Sabbath and Booker T. That love child would be the Sugar Free Allstars."

So suffice it to say that this music is funky, groove-driven and fun. But what is most important is that they have a great knack for writing in a style that is straightforward and to the point. "He's Okay (the spider song)" tells the tale of a spider that has taken up residence in the bathroom shower. Some people say that he should smash him, but the boy has grown fond of his little friend and hopes he stays. the story stays simple and honest without getting preachy-something I appreciate.
