Meltdown! Artist: Justin Roberts

A cross between James Taylor, Loudon Wainwright and Nick Lowe, Chicagoan Justin Roberts is one of the brightest voices on today's hip kids' music scene. Meltdown! is Justin's fifth and most accomplished effort with a full band treatment. Justin explores kids' feelings about all sorts of topics from chalk drawings to meltdowns. As appealing to adults as it is to children. (There's even a reference for the adults with a nod to the New Wave band Modern English and the line "I'd stop the world and meltdown with you.") Meltdown! continues Justin's amazing string of excellent CDs.
