From A Cow Says Moock's Original Liner Notes

My hope is that I've made an album here that kids and parents can listen to and enjoy together. As a father of toddlers, I've become especially aware of how important such albums are to our collective sanity. Especially on long car drives.

Fortunately, we seem to be in the midst of something of a kids' music renaissance. There are some wonderful musicians out there right now who recognize the intelligence and musical sophistication of young audiences. It's a trend which seems to hearken back to an earlier time in our history, when musicians didn't draw such distinct lines between kids' and adults' music, or between genres in general.

Included on this album are songs by four of my musical heroes — musicians who crossed all sorts of lines and made music for all sorts of people, big and small: Woody Guthrie, Huddie (Leadbelly) Ledbetter, Mississippi John Hurt, and Taj Mahal (via a song adapted from Henry Thomas's earlier version). If this is the first time you (or your kids) have heard their songs, I hope you'll be inspired to dig deeper. There's a whole world of amazing music out there just waiting for us when we turn over the stones.

Love,
Moock
