Overview
A story followed by 11 pop-rock songs about a barnstorming cat who forgets it’s his birthday!
Chicken Joe, oddly enough, a cat who sleeps in the hen house, is abruptly awoken one morning by roosters playing rock ‘n’ roll. Somehow he’s forgotten that it’s not just any other day; it’s his birthday! As he sets out on a quest to figure out what he needs to remember, his pack of loyal friends, including the hens Helen and Hilda; Miss Kitty, the city dog; and Mister, the mule, conspire to keep his surprise party a secret.
The accompanying album (included on a CD and via a unique digital download code) features a collection of 11 pop-rock, country, and blues sing-along songs along with the narrated story performed by the internationally renowned duo Trout Fishing in America.
