Description :
On Songs For Little Monkeys, the Mudcakes swing effortlessly from the sounds of the tropics through to 70’s funk, surf, classical and bluegrass in a delicious sonic mix that is food for ears young and old. Nashville musicians Sherry Rich and Rick Plant would sneak out to the studio after putting their baby boy to bed, grab the kazoo, ukulele or banjo and get down to some serious silliness recording these original tunes that celebrate milestones in the first few years of a ‘little monkey’s life. Influenced more by The Beatles and Frank Zappa than Walt Disney, the resulting music is alive and organic with some weird percussion and real sound effects that your kids will love. Track one ‘Monkey Boy’ may even boast the first ever harmonizing ululele solo! Check out titles like The Snot Song and Poo Party and you’ll find a charming irreverance that is rare in todays kids CD’s. Sherry Rich is a native of Australia - hence her use of ‘nappy’ instead of diaper - and her music has been widely released on vinyl and CD in Australia, Japan, Europe and the US Titles from her extensive song catalogue have been used in motion picture soundtracks and recorded by major artists in Australia and the US.

Rick Plant moved to Nashville in the early 90’s where he has been a respected member of the music scene working as guitarist and bass player for many fabulous folk ... Buddy and Julie Miller, Allison Moorer, Jim Lauderdale and Emmylou Harris.
