Nice song, but his voice is thoroughly mutilated by autotune. So what if he didn't hit all notes perfectly? Isn't that what makes a performance human?

I'm going against the grain here .. I think this is a good enough song. Not great or nuttin', but good.

I gave it a 2 but by the end of the song I was so annoyed I had to change it to a 1.

This song is definitely a little more pop-sounding than most of their stuff, which is either good or bad, depending on your opinion. I must say that I like this one better after hearing it a bunch. Seeing Jay play a solo version of it live helped me appreciate it more, also.

Jump is a great band and the mixing on their songs never does justice to the variety and skill they have as musicians. The accordion, upright bass, harmonica, cello, etc. almost never find their way to the front of the mix leaving them sounding more like generic rock than is fair.

Someone needs to upload some live JLC where more of their true personality comes out.

Can't we all just get along?!


I have NOTHING against Richard... I think he makes some very poignant and impressive comments, but this was WAY off base. Richard Marx and Cher are in the same category, but Jump isn't anywhere near that crap. Before condemning a band to that type of hell, you should try to appreciate them on every level.... live especially. These guys are truly amazing and should not be written off as some crappy trite flash-in-the-pan phenomenon.

Well, I'm not sure what you mean by 'chosen', but Bill is currently playing 5 songs from this album in his Radio Paradise rotation. 'Mexico' was chosen as the 2nd single off the album to go to regular radio because it's a fan fave and most people who hear it like it the very first time.

They have a hugely broad range of songs in their repertoire - this album is just a narrow slice.
If you want to hear all of the songs from this album, go to
(click here) and click on the music link and then the music player link. You can listen to all the songs in streaming audio.

If you want to hear a much broader selection of songs, go to Amazon.com (you can click the album link above) and look for Jump Little Children and pick any 10 songs and I dare you to think they are not inventive. Or you could download live shows from the Live Music Archve - there are 90 shows on there. Try it...you'll like it... and you'll be surprised...I guarantee it! (click here)
