Modern Minstrels

Men, Women, and Children

"You don't need a reason
to get out on the dance floor!"

So goes the chanted chorus to the opening track of Men, Women, and Children's debut full length album. And that phrase perfectly describes the feeling you get when you listen to this CD. This is one of the most fun albums I've heard in a while and has lived in my car's CD player for the past week.

Every song on the CD has a great dance beat. The second track, Lightening Strikes Twice in New York, could totally be the opening theme for a James Bond movie (think Die Another Day). Lest you think the album is nothing but dance beats, I should also mention you'll also find an array of catchy choruses and just general fun lyrics:

Give me your right hand
But keep your left hand free
Let's run in circles
Yeah, let's make history
- Monkey Monkee Men

They say boys are messy
but you know girls just make a mess
So we don't care if we get dirty
We ain't here for cleanliness
- Messy

A, E, I, O, U nothing!
- Vowels

My favorite tracks include Dance In My Blood, Who Found Mr. Fabulous, Messy, Monkey Monkee Man, and Vowels. Check out their PureVolume page to hear a few tracks.

With spring just around the corner, I highly recommend you pick up this album (it's out on March 21st) and blast it in your car with your windows down.
