Artist: Papa Crow
Album: Full Moon, Full Moon
Description: It's been three years (and an EP) later since Michigan's Jeff Krebs (aka Papa Crow) released his well-loved debut Things That Roar, but this week sees the release of the full-length follow-up. Fans of the debut will hear a familiar gently playful folk sound, with some familiar artists like Frances England making an appearance.

Artist: Papa Crow
Song: "In All of the World"
Album: Full Moon, Full Moon
Description: A mellow track emphasizing the universality of emotions from the Michigan-based musician, who says he wrote the song "sitting by the plastic kiddie pool" on the 4th of July in 2010, long before his fine debut album Things That Roar came out. A hint of Van Morrison in the song, which'll be on Papa Crow's upcoming album, due out later this year.

Artist: The Verve Pipe
Album: Are We There Yet?
Description: Don't ask why this particular band should have one of the more unexpected second acts in family music. Just enjoy the goofy and endearingly earnest album with your family. The leadoff track is particularly awesome, start there.

Artist: Papa Crow
Song: "Bongo Bong"
Album: Monkeylele
Description: Manu Chao and Papa Crow and ukuleles? What could be wrong? It's a rough mix for a cover song off Papa Crow's forthcoming monkey/ukulele crossover album Monkeylele.

Artist: Papa Crow
Song: "Full Moon, Full Moon"
Album: Full Moon, Full Moon (tentative title)
Description: After a detour into silly territory on his flatulence-themed EP What Was That Sound?, Michigan's Jeff Krebs (AKA Papa Crow) returns to the gentler, folkier sound that made his family debut Things That Roar a "gentle breath of fresh air" and a must-hear for fans of Elizabeth Mitchell and Frances England. Featuring Kaivama and Kerry Yost (who sang with him on a couple songs on Roar), it's not embeddable, but worth going over to take a listen.
