Reseña del libro "Pedro 'n' Pip: Volume 1"
ABOUT THE MUSIC... Taylor Barton's Pedro and Pip was performed and recorded by a wonderful and talented group of musicians and singers. Christine Ohlman, who has for many years sung with the Saturday Night Live Band, is featured throughout as well as Robbie Wyckoff who has sung for the children's TV show Phineas and Firb and also was lead vocalist on Roger Waters' The Wall tour from 2010 through 2013. The Persuasions do brilliant vocal work on several songs. Jenni Muldaur who has sung with Lou Reed, Marianne Faithful, Rufus Wainwright and many others contributed as well as Jillette Johnson who sings " Certification Song" ...Noted Israeli singer/guitarist David Broza contributes vocals and Spanish guitar and young Ella Moffly sings the lovely First Word Go and does a rocking job on Pedro and Pip's Rap. Lastly, Taylor, who composed both the music and lyrics, does the vocals on Don't Quit, an ode to her father who gave her the words when she was young. The recording of Pedro and Pip was produced by Taylor Barton. While I am most known for my work with Hall and Oates, Bob Dylan, SNL, Roger Waters and many others, I was instantaneously attracted to this fun loving score. I led the band and played guitar on these songs along with keyboardist Jeff Kazee, {Bon Jovi, Southside Johnny}, bassist Tony Shanahan, {Patti Smith Band}, and Alex Alexander on drums ( Eminem, Dido) This collaboration of friends and family resulted in a warm and unique sound on these songs helping to bring the story of a Rock and Roll octopus and a sweet little girl to life. Pedro 'n' Pip, they're a team! GE Smith
