Tim Seston is a skilled and imaginative musical storyteller whose songs amuse and uplift even as they provide genuine insight into how to remain happy while in the midst of common childhood challenges. On A Roll's 15 musical selections cheerfully address themes of family, friendship, togetherness, and fears that are a common part of growing up. 'Little Charlie's Monsters' is a prime example of how Mr. Seston's lighthearted touch transforms listener's anxieties into something fun and reassuring. Other standouts include Canker Sore (an amusing metaphor) and Bright Red Truck, a celebration of firemen and kids' competence in knowing where to turn when faced with an emergency. The album's unusually pleasing mix of acoustic instrumentation delivers one sonic delight after another, bluegrass- and Americana-tinged tunes that get kids up on their feet, joyfully singing along while moving and grooving to the irresistible rhythms!
