Editorial review
Holiday songs are a lot like folk songs: they seem to have existed forever and singers never get tired of recording new versions of "White Christmas" and "Jingle Bells." The public, on the other hand, can be excused for jumping for joy when a group like Trout Fishing in America goes to the trouble of writing new seasonal material. After all, most people probably already own several versions of any holiday song one could name. Merry Fishes to All is even more fun because it's a children's album, which means it can avoid the solemnity of Christmas and just have fun. Ezra Idlet and Keith Grimwood offer their usual enjoyable nonsense while hitting upon all the familiar themes of the season -- like snow, Christmas letters, Santa, and chocolate. They realize that every kid, in his or her heart of hearts, really wants a "Chocolate Christmas," and who can't relate to "Santa Brought Me Clothes?" And "The Eleven Cats of Christmas" may be in the running for the catchiest holiday tune...since "The Twelve Days of Christmas." Trout Fishing in America adopts lively contemporary arrangements that run the gauntlet of styles from reggae to jazz. It goes without saying (which means that it must be said) that parents might grow tired of listening to the kids singing along to Merry Fishes to All during the drive to Grandma's. Still, it's got to be better than listening to them sing "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" one more time. ~ Ronnie D. Lankford Jr., All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Trout Fishing in America ........ the name taken from a Richard Brautigan novel, seems almost as incongruent and intriguing as a picture of this musical duo - Ezra Idlet (guitar) stands six feet nine inches and Keith Grimwood (bass), five feet five and one half inches. What is more intriguing is the musical career these two have carved out in nearly three decades of writing, recording and performing together. Trout Fishing in America can look back at a body of work that is impressive and know they are just hitting their stride. With the release of their twelfth CD, Merry Fishes to All received a Grammy nomination. TFIA sees the future as the brightest part of their successful career.
A brief history of Trout Music: Grimwood's professional musical experience began when, as the precocious teenage bass player, he began sitting in with jazz musicians who had socks older than him.
