Well spun, Steve!

""Spinning Tails" is a wonderful new CD by Steve Pullara and His Cool Beans Band that transcends all age groups from ages 1-100. It's a truley "Family Album." Every original song on this album is so darn catchy, that you'll be singing the hooks for days with your kids (and wanting to.) The songs are well crafted by way of poetry, delivery, and production. Steve and the boys have really spread their wings and taken flight with this one! Mr. Pullara has a good pulse in this genre' of music... and it shows. It's clearly not a hobby, nor an alternate means of music making. Many of these new songs push the envelope in family music too. It's a real collection of art. A song entltiled "A Fishtank Full of Guppies" is actually the first piece in this genre', to my knowledge, to be written with movements and in the key of "D." Each song is also playful enough to maintain everybody's interest, their not heady. Titles and tunes range from the witty cajun "Grandmas Video Camera" to the subtlety of the Japenese haiku tune in "Snowflakes Are Dancing," see the song listing.Because this CD is so strikingly different from anything out there, it may actually be the Sgt.Pepper of it's kind. I hope Mr. Pullara gets the good credit and accolades for this fine piece of work he created. Families need more music like this to challenge us, while we can come away with a good vibe and a smile!"

"My 13 month old daughter really enjoys this CD, and gives each song a standing ovation at its conclusion. The songs are full of energy and fun and they tell stories about everyday life. "The Little Blue Dot" is about how beautiful the earth is; something we really need to remember post-September 11th. This album is a winner."
