Bio / Background
I'm Awesome!, Rachel Nelson's 2004 CD, is a blend of songs and stories for young listeners. With enough repetition and catchy tunes to grab younger ears and enough substance to hold the interest of older children, this CD will delight kids of any age. Rachel Nelson and friends mix fiddle, banjo, washtub bass, and guitar with mandolin, stand-up bass and hand drums to keep the musical combos interesting.
"I've tried to include many different sound combinations for young ears on this CD," Nelson said. "We have a capella singing, old-time fiddle and banjo, bluesey swing numbers, and some wonderful hand percussion work by Kari Kjome.
In I'm Awesome!, Nelson blends her original songs, including "Tall Tale," "The Possum Song," "Whoa Back," and "Julia Butterfly," with traditional folk songs like "Walkin' Boss" and "The Cat Came Back." Her rollicking stringband version of "I'm My Own Grandma" will resonate with older listeners who remember the original Latham/Jaffe hit.

not the usual kind of kids' music, but surely captivating enough with it's unique lyrics.
