John and Mark - John and Mark's Children's Record

Nothing will have you skipping down the street faster than JOHN AND MARK’S CHILDREN’S RECORD!

This delightfully charming 11-song set from Chicago musicians JOHN UPCHURCH and MARK GREENBERG ( both formerly members of The Coctails) features songs to dance around the front lawn to (“Lawnmower Song”), tunes that’ll keep you counting ‘til you lose your breath (“A Counting Error”) and head scratching jingles about what makes a great household pet (“Pat, The Alligator Lady”).

Using tales of late night feedings and their own children’s off the wall imaginations, JOHN and MARK gathered a few friends to join in on the project. The simple, fun cover art was drawn by ARCHER PREWITT (creator of the much-loved Sof’ Boy and former member of The Coctails as well as the Sea and Cake) while BARRY PHIPPS (ALSO a founding member of The Coctails…) provided a home at his Tight Ship Records label. JOHN and MARK'S CHILDREN'S RECORD is a brilliant, collection that belongs in every family’s music library…nestled between “Free To Be You and Me” and Sesame Street’s™ Joe Raposo!

"In the mid-90’s, The Coctails were every college-rock fan’s favorite jazzy lounge act. John Upchurch and Mark Greenberg of that Chicago band have resurfaced behind one of the most refreshing kids' albums of the year. Under the moniker John and Mark’s Children’s Record (curiously the name of the band and their debut CD), the pair have written and recorded a collection of 11 original folk tunes that sound a lot like early Bob Dylan, if he’d been writing songs for Sesame Street. The sepia-toned “Colors” may end the year as my favorite kid’s song of ’09. The theater of the absurd-ish “Pat the Alligator Lady” is pure delight for little ones ages five and under." —iVillage
