Surprisingly, the soundtrack to Kidville’s early childhood music education class, a collection of 20 tracks called “Rockin’ Railroad Vol. 1,” will pry loose dim, pre-lullaby-era memories of rockin’ out to Journey and Kiss.
All of the songs on this CD are written and produced by Brooklyn native Paulie Z (from the IFC television series, “Z Rock,” a band that made the Jekyll and Hyde shift between being kids entertainers by day and transforming into the rock band ZO2 by night).
On “Rockin’ Railroad,” Paulie Z puts his hair band chops to great use, creating a wide-ranging collection of tunes from the catchy “Snooze Blues” to “Growing Up,” rife with electric guitar and Steve Perry-esque vocals. We’re making new memories with our progeny — as we teach them how to perfect air guitar and gentle head banging.
