We love your "MR. DAVID: Jump in the Jumpy House" CD so much I’m going to feature it on the FRONT PAGE of CD Baby for a few days.

We’re *really* picky about what goes on the front page.  We get about 200-250 new albums a DAY coming in here now, (about 190,000 total), and yours is one of the best we’ve ever heard.

THE DATE: Sunday, August 19th 2007

OUR REVIEW
If Jonathan Richman were to make an album for kids, I imagine it would sound something like this. With a lyrical approach that is sharply stream-of-consciousness and keeps tongue planted firmly in cheek, these songs are bizarrely appealing, unassumingly witty, and never dull. With a loose and jangly (in the best way) approach to songwriting, these tracks are rooted in both new wave pop and the uncompromising ethos of punk. The melodies are sly and catchy, feigning non-existence until they creep into your subconscious and become buried in your head. On the surface, this could be perceived as a fun-time train of non sequiturs, but upon closer inspection, you’ll see these songs are as calculated as they are nutty, only straying off track when it makes perfect sense. With a voice that is able to righteously pull off high pitched squeals (the title track) and a passable version of Johnny Cash ("Them Devils"), there’s ample variations of wackiness on this one for the kids, and plenty of hummable tunes to keep the grown ups locked in and listening.

So there you have it. Mr. David is one of CD Baby’s "Best Independent Musicians" Yeeaaahaaaa! We love CD Baby Go buy your copy now!
