Gustafer Yellowgold - Wide Wild World

Reviewed by jonathan

Before I knew who Gustafer Yellowgold was (and I'm still a bit fuzzy) my initial reaction to the music was, "Jim Henson's would have loved to include this stuff in a Muppet movie." It's warm happy music for kids that's not entirely for kids. By that I mean it won't make you throw up like Raffi does. It's simply good music. And who IS Gustafer Yellowgold? He is a friendly creature who came from the sun with his best friend Forrest Applecrumbie, a flightless Pterodactyl. Odd, yes, but charming music (created by Morgan Taylor) never-the-less. So, if you have kids or not, the album's cool and worth a listen or two (there's also a DVD included). You'll also make friends with Gustafer, Forrest, and a pet eel named Slim.
