Step outside the Big Blue House with Bear into the thriving community of Woodland Valley. When a big storm lands a tree right in the middle of the library, Bear calls an emergency town meeting. All the town's creatures are eager to help, and it soon becomes apparent that "if everyone does a little, a lot gets done." A joint effort by Tutter, Pip, Pop, Treelo, and their other animal friends to collect unwanted books restocks the library shelves, and some careful observation and creative thinking by Ojo preserves a tiny part of the Woodland community while incorporating the fallen tree into the design of the renovated library. The big lesson learned is that a community is like a big family: its members support one another no matter what. Skillful puppetry and catchy jazz-inspired tunes fill the program, and the DVD version features four sing-along selections.

Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt

Avalon Blues: A Tribute to the Music of Mississippi John Hurt Review

No musician ever applied a gentler touch to songs of murder, sex, and salvation than Mississippi John Hurt. The country bluesman enjoyed a career revival through the folk festival boom of the early 1960s, and his influence continues to ripple, as this varied and vital tribute attests. Produced by Peter Case (who teams with Dave Alvin on "Monday Morning Blues"), the album's renewal of classic Hurt extends from the deadpan double entendres of "Candy Man" delivered by Steve Earle and son Justin to Taj Mahal's trademark lilt on "My Creole Belle" to a surprisingly straightforward "Stagolee" by Beck. Amid a roster of luminaries ranging from fingerpicking acolytes Chris Smither and Bill Morrissey to Ben Harper, John Hiatt, Lucinda Williams, and Gillian Welch, the most radically disarming interpretation comes from Victoria Williams. Her breathless "Since I've Laid My Burden Down" sounds like a preschooler on helium, yet somehow taps into the subconscious of the song. --Don McLeese
