Dog Train: A Wild Ride on the Rock-and-Roll Side

Full of attitude full of fun and all lit up with star power Dog Train is a Recording Industry Association of America Gold Album with 600000 copies in print. Another great book-and-CD production by Sandra Boynton it features all original songs recorded by big-name acts and great voices.Blues Traveler performs a stomping version of the title song a moody rock journey that Boynton wrote especially for them. And then there’s Alison Krauss with “Evermore.” And Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme—really—who do the “Boring Song.” The Spin Doctors who channel rock’s rebellious side—with a taste of punk—for “Tantrum”: “No No No I don’t want to I don’t want to./No no no I don’t want to no no./Leave me alone. Leave me alone./LEAVE ME ALONE.” And the sweetly unexpected pairing of “Weird Al” Yankovic and Kate Winslet (yep Kate Winslet) as a duet singing “I Need a Nap.”The full-color book features a portion of each song’s lyrics set as a little story illustrated with Boynton’s irresistible hippos cows dogs and more dogs. Full lyrics appear in the back.
