Artist: Alice DiMicele
Album: If I Were an Otter: Songs for Kids of All Ages
Description: The album won't be out 'til June, but Oregon artist DiMicele's put the title track up on Bandcamp for your (our? my?) listening pleasure. The album will be a mixture of traditional folk songs along with some originals, like this one.

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.

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.

I remember hearing somewhere that Todd McHatton and Morgan Taylor, creator of Gustafer Yellowgold, were working on music together, and thankfully for the world at large, the product of their efforts is making its way into the world. The first track from their partnership -- named Underbirds -- is out and "Brilliance" is, well, brilliant. Oh so shiny.
Artist: Bill Harley / Keith Munslow
Song: "It's Not Fair to Me"
Album: N/A
Description: One spin of this new song featuring Bill Harley and Keith Munslow, and older listeners may be reminded of the Smothers Brothers in their quibbling mode. Which isn't so surprising considering Harley and Munslow are, as the kids say these days, "brothers from another mother." The result of a Sirius-XM Kids Place Live contest, just go here to listen to the whole thing.

Artist: Kira Willey
Song: "Dancing With My Daddy"
Album: N/A
Description: I'm sure that the timing of the release of this song celebrating dads just a few days before Father's Day is purely coincidental. Regardless, enjoy the samba, which, if you like, you can receive for free just for signing up for Willey's newsletter.

Artist: Mista Cookie Jar & the Chocolate Chips
Song: "The Love Bubble (Unplugged)"
Album: forthcoming, untitled 2012 album
Description: The acoustic version of the popular title track from his first album has a tropical vibe and nicely features CJ Pizarro's soulful voice (with backup from Ava Flava). Also: your shoulders and head will likely move in time from side to side.

Song: "All on a Sunday Afternoon"
Album: All on a Sunday Afternoon
Description: The funky, old school title track from the Oklahoma kid-pop-funk duo's forthcoming (June 12) album. Here they're joined by kids music veterans Trout Fishing in America, adding backing vocals, bass, and guitar to SFA's B-3 and drums.
