Lisa Loeb and The Hollow Trees announce new album 'That's What It's All About'
Lisa Loeb and The Hollow Trees will join forces for a collaboration album.
Announced today, That's What It's All About will be released on August 23. This is part of Loeb’s series of children’s albums, which started with Loeb’s 2003 collaboration album with Elizabeth Mitchell titled Catch the Moon. Loeb’s last children’s album Feel What U Feel earned a Grammy for Best Children's Album in 2018.
Loeb said this about the forthcoming album:
“On That’s What It’s All About, I really wanted to share with my fans and listeners some of my favorite songs from my childhood; those that my folks used to play around the house, on the record player, and on the piano. The songs make me feel like I’m in a different place and time, like I’m sitting at a diner in West Texas, eating grilled cheese and drinking a Coke. Or shopping at the Piggly Wiggly for Brach’s caramels with my Grandma Daisy. I’m curious where it’ll take everyone else when they hear it.”
The first single from the album titled "Take It While The Takin's Good” is one of the few original songs written for the release. Loeb and The Hollow Trees said this about the song, which has an official music video here:
“This song was inspired by old TV shows like The Little Rascals and The Three Stooges. We wanted to write a song with a bit of wisdom, and the images coming up seemed timeless and a little like we were looking into the past through a time machine.”
