Jungle Gym aims to ascend through the collective memories of childhood, from the joys of trick or treating and sleepovers to the magic stillness of snow days and gym class parachutes. The recording takes listeners on a journey through iconic experiences that kids will relate to and parents will remember. It's an often funny and unexpectedly rocking ride, from magic moments sailing on a moonlit cardboard box, through the temporary traumas of getting lost, to the anticipation and wonder of a school fire drill. Giant pounding drums, vintage electric guitars, strange and fanciful time changes, soaring vocals and elegant French horns yearn toward the conquering heights of the jungle gym. Awards: Parent's Choice Foundation Audio Award Fall 2010

The album relates true experiences of baseball success and failure as well as other fun and funny stories. This is the sixth CD from Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players.

What used to be known as children’s music gets a new genre-bending twist with Justin Roberts' alternative rock release, Meltdown! The CD features 13 original songs exploring kid and family life, lushly enhanced by complex songwriting, arrangements and “wall of sound” production. Justin's warm voice, witty lyrics and infectious melodies will leave the kids screaming for more.

Justin Roberts is the indy-rocker of children’s CDs. His vocal style has been compared to James Taylor, Elvis Costello, Loudon Wainwright III and even Green Day, but his style and songwriting are unique. The lyrics are rich with a comedic, sharp insight and sensitivity to the core audience of parents and kids. This CD has won a Parents’ Choice Gold Award and has been named one of the 10 best children’s CDs of the year by Child Magazine and Amazon.com. Los Angeles based artist Sarajo Frieden created the cover art for the album. A new music video is in the works, with clever multimedia featurettes of hits like “Willy Was a Whale,” “Airplane of Food,” “Tie Your Shoes” and “If You Got 1,” produced by Oil Factory (Coldplay, Gwen Stefani, Madonna) and directed by Tomorrow's Brightest Minds (Death Cab for Cutie, Dandy Warhols).
