Way Out

i got hooked on justin roberts in 2004 when i worked at baby gap. i bought this disc then, well before i became a parent.now i listen to it with my 8 month old son and he seems to love it.way out is my favorite song of his!

Our family had the good fortune to attend a benefit in New York where Justin Roberts was playing recently. The music was so fun and memorable that, like a great broadway show, we actually went out singing the songs! Justin's CD "Way Out" was a give away at the benefit and we have been putting it on daily since. Our two and four year olds love to dance, bounce around and giggle to the music (and truth be told so do my wife and I). Our four year old couldn't wait to share this with her cousins (who had turned us on to Tom Chapin, another great!) We gave them this CD found it had the same dance/bounce/giggle effect on them. Music this fun for kids AND adults is rare and I can't recommend it enough. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to add to our Justin Roberts collection...

I normally am not the type to write reviews, but we got this CD from a family member a few months ago and it is literally the ONLY thing our 2 and 3 year old girls will let us listen to in the car. They love it, and it is catchy and clever enough that us parents can stand listening to the songs over and over again as well. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I think everyone with kids should have this cd. Just this morning, my girls requested "Airplane of Food" on repeat for 30 minutes while going to their grandparents. A few weeks ago it was "Day Camp" and a few weeks before that was something else. I can't wait to check out some of his other albums.

My son, who is now almost 4, has been listening to Justin Roberts' music almost since he was born. He is a huge fan of Justin's lovely, funny lyrics and very danceable music -- and now his sister, 17 months, has joined Justin's fan club with this new CD; she starts laughing and dancing every time the first few bars of "Baby Brother" come on. While opinions in the family are divided over which of Justin's CDs is his finest effort (and, unlike "Yellow Bus," this latest effort actually takes a few listens to fully appreciate), he definitely has some in his camp for "Way Out." Best tunes: the title track; "Baby Brother"; "I Lost The Tooth I Lost"; and a really sweet song called "Roller in the Coaster." In our family, Justin Roberts and Dan Zanes reign supreme in children's music -- if you are determined to keep Raffi/The Wiggles/etc. out of your home, car, or wherever, you cannot do better than these guys, who make real music that adults can actually, genuinely enjoy, not least because of the enormous pleasure it gives the kids.

Justin Roberts has a gift for original music that is enjoyable for the entire family. His lyrics are both clever and accessible. His voice has a distinct relate-ability. You will sing right along with Airplane of Food, the first track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Best Friend and Bigger are so sweet. Way Out, my favorite and title track rocks ("Remember there's a camal somewhere"). Doctor, Doctor and I Lost the Tooth I Lost add humor to experiences that are common to every child. If this is your first Justin Roberts album, I can almost guarantee it will not be your last - check out Great Big Sun.

I love this CD! After listening to many, many others, Justin Roberts' music is the most enjoyable for both my toddler son and me. It's great for car rides. My son learned the catchy toons early on and it quiets him down whenever I put the CD on. I bought the other two (No Naptime and Yellow Bus) and like them just as much.Roberts tackles just about every kid subject with wit and catchy toons - so much so that my husband and I sing these songs ourselves quite a bit. That's a big part of the joy. They are as much fun for adults as for kids!I have also played the songs when my older nieces and nephews are riding along and they love them too (ages 3-8). I'm sure we'll be listening to these for several years to come.

This CD is the most original and enjoyable kids' music we've had in this house! Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players really know how to rock out! Justin Roberts is a great songwriter with something for everyone -- rockin' music, clever lyrics and sensitivity to what is important to kids. I love the songs "Best Friend," "Roller in the Coaster" and "Humpty's at it Again" -- songs about life and philosophy, yet very accessible to children. Also, for really dancing around, there's "Doctor Doctor," "Daycamp" and the title track, "Way Out." Don't miss this rising star in children's music!

We discovered Justin Roberts music on XM Kids radio one day, and my entire family was hooked. His lyrics are clever and surprising - and has brought my three kids (ages 5, 3, and 1) to both giggles and quiet thoughts while listening. We dance to "Airplane of Food" and "Daycamp" almost daily, and we LOVE the "Humpty Dumpty" song - it's inspired a game where the kids dream up crazy things that Humpty can see while up on the wall.We're anxiously awaiting his new "Meltdown" CD release on March 21st, and are proud to own all of his albums. We each have our favorite songs - and the kids (and I) fight over which one to listen to next. We've graduated from the Wiggles, and are never EVER looking back!
