Folk Playground features fun songs from many of America's leading children's musicians and other well-known artists. Some of these musicians can trace their roots directly back to the folk family tree: Erib Bibb is the son of famous folk singer Leon Bibb. He is joined by Michael Jerome Browne on a folk//blues song "Just Look Up." They are joined by Elizabeth Mitchell, Jon Gailmor, Victor Johnson and Trout Fishing in America, who have devoted their careers to performing folk songs for children and adults. Like some of their predecessors, several musicians on Folk Playground have taken different routes to the folk scene. Dan Zanes, Laurie Berkner, Justin Roberts and Brady Rymer traveled rock and roll roads before taking a turn down the path of kids' music and folk songs. Zoe Lewis has flown all over the world before landing in Massachusetts to sing about "Sheep." Still others are even more unlikely wanderers onto the scene: Retro pioneer Leon Redbone reaches back into time for his version of "Polly Wolly Doodle" and Michelle Shocked pulls a few strings to bring us her cover of "Got No Strings" from the animated Disney classic, Pinocchio.
