Product description This recording is all-original music by Justin Roberts, featuring his unique blend of modern folk, rock, and pop. Instrument heard throughout the CD include the acoustic and electric guitar, bass, piano, keyboard, synthesizer, drums, trumpet, mandolin, toy piano, saxophone, trombone, and organ. Amazon.com Justin Roberts’ Pop Fly is the kind of record that, years hence, when the parents’ hair is graying and the kids have discovered death metal, will still make the whole gang sing (apologies to Barry Manilow). Roberts, on his fifth full-length, continues to craft universally likable pop songs that adhere to the brain like flypaper, while paying extremely close attention to his audience. Few adults get inside the head of the average 7-year-old this convincingly: “He watches out for us when Mom is away/If I were giving grades he’d get a B or an A,” he sings on “Stay-At-Home Dad,” one of several songs that fairly oozes with elementary-school cred. --Tammy La Gorce
