The Award winning Let's Go! takes you and your children on an adventure through music: you'll explore the woods, star gaze on a cowboy's range, dig for clams in San Francisco Bay, yodel with an ostrich on a mountain and visit 22 other traditional-now-hip places.

One of Susie Tallman's talents is bringing generations (grandparents, parents, and little ones) together through familiar and loved songs with some new twists added. A few examples include Tallman presenting Polly Wolly Doddle through a Raggae beat, combining several of Mother Goose's nursery rhymes in Throw It Out the Window, a mellowed out Clementine, and even Bob Dylan's Blowin' in the Wind has the same tune in vocals as the original, but the musical accompaniment is completely redone.  Tallman begins On Top of Spaghetti, a little one's favorite since it was introduced by folk singer Tom Glazer,  much slower and more dramatic than the traditional version, but the pace soon picks up to a samba sound with shakers and bongos. You Are My Sunshine is remade into a rock song, complete with an electric guitar and drums! Between verses, Tallman includes interactive directions like, "Wave those arms, stamp your feet, clap your hands, shake your hips to the beat!" The album also includes fun call-and-response songs, like Going On a Bear Hunt and Sippin' Cider Through a Straw.

The songs are full of creative stories, fun phrases, and silly lyrics that your little ones - and you! - will love to sing along with. Examples of silly songs include The Old Family Toothbrush (about a toothbrush that was handed down throughout the family; "Father first used it, mother refused it, brother abused it, and now it is mine."), The Ostrich Song (about a yodeling ostrich; "Yodee-h, yodel-ee-ah-cuckee, yodel-ee-ah-cuckee-cuckoo, yodel-ee-ahh-cuckee-cuckoo!"), and 1,000 Legged Worm who is missing one of its legs, so it has to "hop around on the other 999." Boom Chicka Boom covers multiple genres in one song by asking the children on the album and the little listeners at home to sing the chorus like a cowboy, a jazz singer, an opera singer, Elvis, a little old lady, and finally like a little quiet mouse in call-and-response style. You can easily turn this in to a game with your little one by asking them to come up with more fun ways to sing the chorus - how about like a puppy dog,  their daddy, or even like a buzzing bee?! The title song is catchy and fun to sing along with, with lines like, "Let's go, hideee, hideee ho!" You and your little one can help the children in the song come up with ways that they can travel to new destinations; car, boat, bike, rickshaw, helicopter,  imagination - what can you come up with?

My two-year-old friend Kyle often listens to this CD while driving to and from his house whenever we're spending an afternoon together. We each have our favorites. Kyle loves to sing "Boom dee-ah-da, Boom dee ah-day" in I Love the Mountains, while I turn up the volume whenever Blowin' in the Wind comes on. I've also made it my personal mission to learn the chorus of the song Madaline Catelina because I cannot say it for the life of me; "Madaline Catelina Whoopastina Wilamina Oopsy Doopsy Woopsy was her name."

Let's Go! is Susie Tallman and Rock Me Baby Records' sixth album in a collection of award-winning music, popular with both children and parents. Let's Go! was recorded in Sydney & Melbourne Australia with producers Mark O'Connor and Peter Farnan. The guest artists include Peter Maslen on drums, Greg O'Connor on ukelele and vocals, Michael Reily Burke, Maude Farnan, Stella Farnan and Roberta O'Connor on vocals.

Susie Tallman & Friends present traditional songs with a twist; music that connects generations - bridging the years between grandparent, parent and child with song. "If parents can enjoy lullabies with their children they will share a very special time together," said Tallman. "Children are educated by the music they are brought up with, and these lullabies will teach them about the bond they share with their parents, and about the warmth of the world their parents will share with them."

Rock Me Baby Records carves out a new path in the market of music for small children," says Tallman. "The albums provide parents with a contemporary way to introduce the beauty and tradition of nursery rhymes and lullabies." All the CDs contain original and interesting arrangements of traditional songs. The lullabies are soothing and calming and the nursery rhymes are fun, exciting and unique, with multiple voices and instruments.

Rock Me Baby Records was founded in 1999 by Susie Tallman and has won the Parents' Choice Gold Award for Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum & Gold Awards and the Parents' Choice recommended for Classic Nursery Rhymes, the iParenting & Oppenheim Gold Award for Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites and the iParenting Award for Classical Baby. Tallman's CDs have also been recommended in Parenting, Baby Talk, Fit Pregnancy, Child and other National Publications.

Singer Susie Tallman graduated UCLA with a BA in voice performance. She further evolved her voice in France, singing with the Choeur International and the American Chorus in Paris. Upon her return to the states, Tallman honed her classical training at the New England Conservatory Workshop in Boston. She has sung backup for such acts as Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love and Cheap Trick, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Rose Bowl, The Los Angeles Forum and Pauley Pavilion as well as in commercials for Taco Bell, The Coca-Cola Reunion Commercial and the movie Beaches. She is a former member of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus.
