Review

Following on the heels of the immensely smart, hip Wild Thing (and a string of gems before that), Car Tunes is a top-shelf concept album for kids. Here the theme is utterly simple: these are all tunes associated with cars. From washing them ("Car Wash") to driving them ("Fun, Fun, Fun"), cars are not only the subject matter, but also the place where the Sugar Beats insist Car Tunes ought to be played. Every song has a danceable vibe that goes from big, bright hip-shakers (Fine Young Cannibals' "She Drives Me Crazy") to simple snap-alongs, such as Roger Miller's "King of the Road." An especially charming component of "King" and the funky "Mustang Sally" is the colorful use of kids' voices, either as chorus or simple, cute background effect. In their previous work the Sugar Beats have hung their hats on an old-school set of instruments, but here they revel in rhythm tracks and keyboards. But none of that gets in the way of the spirit behind Car Tunes, which is classic Sugar Beats--aimed dually at different generations. Willie Nelson's "On the Road Again" recast as mid-tempo dance pop sung entirely by kids? It works for all involved. --Andrew Bartlett CAR WASH ROAD RUNNER SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY LOVE TRAIN FUN, FUN, FUN KING OF THE ROAD HITCH HIKE CARS EXPRESSWAY TO YOUR HEART FREEWAY OF LOVE MUSTANG SALLY ON THE ROAD AGAIN ROUTE 66
