Listen to Imagination Time With Patrick

A children’s musician, author and podcaster, Patrick Adams returns with an 8th album for families, where plenty of ‘80s influences are present.

“Hairless Werewolf” starts the listen with flowing guitar riffs and lively drumming, as Adams’ expressive pipes suit the rock’n’roll delivery, and “Zombie Ballerina” follows with playful organ, where a young voice accompanies Adams for the danceable spirit.

Elsewhere, “Alien Dance Party” will get your foot stomping and your hands clapping to the infectious energy, while “Purple Pepperoni Pizza” could soundtrack an evening with a pie thanks to the scrappy drumming, lively horn and Adams’ talking and singing.

Arriving close to the end, “Rockin’ Oxen” is a crisp and rhythmic album highlight with some guitar shredding, too, and “Imagination Situation” exits with a mesmerizing mood that utilizes some rapping amid the swirling finish.

A highly creative outing that’s steeped in retro-fun, there’s plenty of hair-metal, electro-rock and quirkiness to enjoy across the festive affair.

Travels well with: Wendy And DB- Back Home; Star Forest- Let Me Be Real
