This album, by Chicago rockers turned parents, is a classic kid's hootenanny--complete with steel guitars and jugs. True to it's name, most songs revolve around beasties both hairy and slimy from house dogs to ants. Our favorite is Housefly Blues, with it's closing reference to Ramona, Riley and Abby's favorite literary character.
