As a general rule, I don’t like kids music, but I love Caspar Babypants!  From his crystal clear voice to his simple lyrics and basic rhythms, Caspar Babypants, aka Chris Ballew, lead singer of the Presidents of the United States of America, has accomplished the rare feat of creating kids music that appeals to kids as much as adults.   Each catchy tune is easy on the ears as his imaginative lyrics are unobstructed by drums and heavy bass guitars that weigh down many other “new age” children’s albums.   As a master story teller, Caspar Babypants’ story lines never get in the way of his edgy, yet friendly modern folk songs.  In his third release and longest album yet, Caspar Babypants doesn’t disappoint and delivers many new songs that your family will likely be singing for years to come.

If Babypants is new to your family, these videos of songs from previous albums will quickly have you singing his praises:

Bottom Line: In the words of Joel McHale, “Caspar Babypants is awesome. To me, the true test of a good children’s movie, music, or stage performance is if the adults enjoy it too and these records have that in spades. My one and four year olds love them. These records are must haves for any family.”

To Purchase: MP3 albums of his first two releases can be downloaded from Amazon for $8.99.  CD’s are also available starting at $12 from CDBaby.com.  An unreleased charity album, “PEPS Sing Along,” written for babies and young toddlers is sold exclusively for $10 at www.babypantsmusic.com.  ”This is Fun,” his latest album is set to be released in November 2, 2010 and will be available on Amazon.
