School Days: Science Fair


Trout Fishing in America: Science Fair

[purchase]

Back here I suggested that we have a week of kid’s songs. Here’s another sample of what that might sound like.

Trout Fishing in America is a duo from Arkansas who have recorded on their own label for about as long as Ani Difranco has. That they are not as well known has everything to do with the fact that their best material is for kids. As you can see, they have a great deal of fun with difference in their heights, (6’9” vs 5’5”). “Science Fair” is about the awesome projects you wish you could have presented when you were a kid. It also appeals to the parents who try to recapture the feeling by helping their kids with their projects.
