Sittin Around Grover’s Corner
David Grover’s first ever double CD! A musical journey through history and culture…gather the whole family around the CD player and everyone can sing along!
A 2003 Parents' Choice Gold Award
Parents' Choice Review: "This generous helping of familiar music ranges from traditional ("Greensleeves," "Old Time Religion," "The Water is Wide") to contemporary (Woody Guthrie and John Denver). Throw in "The Gettysburg Address" and the Beatles and you'll have a sense of how diverse these selections are. The songs and stories are culled from "Grover's Corner," a PBS program hosted by lead singer David Grover whose rich voice is as relaxed and unpretentious as a next-door-neighbor sitting on your porch. The tapes were taken directly from the show, so each one has a brief introduction and some also have a sign-off (which makes it seem as if the album is ending when it's not). However, each time another song begins, it feels like a reprieve…and listeners will no doubt fall into the habit of wishing that this thoroughly engaging album would never end." » Parent's Choice Foundation
