Rockin With the Goose

You won’t believe this new CD.

It’s a family album in the best sense because the whole family, people of allages, enjoy listening to it. Yes, the lyrics are Mother Goose nursery rhymes, but they are sung like you have never heard them before, more like Bob Seger or Chicago than the way you heard them on your mother’s lap. Kids dig the classic rock sounds!

Written and produced by singer Lynn Kitchens in Nashville, ROCKIN WITH THE GOOSE is a fun album of high quality music and musicianship.

In all my years in the record business, the two common threads I found woven into all successful projects were originality and quality. "Rockin' With The Goose" fulfills both requirements. What a great concept. This music is new and familiar at the same time. The kids will love it and so will you. My hat is off to you Lynn. Thanks for the fun and a job well done.

It's been done before, but rarely with this much heart. H. Lynn Kitchens rips through the classic rock universe on "Rockin' with the Goose," dousing "Humpty Dumpty" with a Chicago-style horn section, sprinkling Brit-pop zip over "Simple Simon," and twisting "Bunch of Blue Ribbons" around a Beatles melody along the way. He's got the chops to pull it off, having racked up 35 years playing alongside Johnny Paycheck, Bill Frizell, and Allman Brother Dickie Betts, but best of all, he knows his boundaries. A stick-to-a-single-era sensibility lets him set "Little Boy Blue" to Led Zeppelin-inspired howls, for example, without blowing it to unbearable-sounding smithereens. Part of the fun is singling out specific influences: Is that ZZ Top or Aerosmith he's channeling on "Three Little Kittens"? It's tough to tell at times, but no matter -- Old King Cole and his cronies have never sounded cooler. --Tammy La Gorce
