Wild Things by Mr. Ben
This was my first full-length kids' album, written & recorded in 2015 as an homage and accompaniment to my favourite kids' book of all time. My sister called it my "best work" (I am loath to ask her, 6 albums later, if she still thinks that). Recorded in my home – mostly my living room – with wild abandon and unfettered creative mirth. It is, as always, kids' music geared to grown-up ears.
This is the first time this album has ever been properly released.
