Jeremy are pretty lo-fi for kids' musicians -- and that's a wonderful
thing. On their gentle, lovely album It's a Big World, they don't try for broad appeal by throwing in

album, you'd probably like it anyway. After the jump, a free download of the
title track, and an animated YouTube video to share with the kids. - Gwynne
