Review: Re-issue (2010) of Daddy-Doo Band’s Daddy Done
Todd Kolod is one of those guys who wears a coat of many colors. Besides being an early childhood teacher and parent educator with the Saint Paul Public Schools from 1985-2012, and while he was having his daytime job, Kolod assembled a band which included professional musicians who were participants in his father’s parenting groups. And there was one mom, too, from a mixed parenting group. Recently, Kolod has been working with his now full-time band JustFolk, whose recap album ‘Best of JustFolk 2012-2025’ was recently covered on these pages.
Yet, Kolod and his parenting band, which included some of the band members who later had considerable professional success, even hitting the big time, also recorded an album that was a take of children’s-like songs put in an indie rock setting that varies from his later folk leanings to everything from ska to a number of indie sub-genres the band could muster.
The 19-song retrospective sounds like a way to bring childhood memories to elders as well as a way to present to children what is the music their parents like (well, some at least), and it all sounds like a lot of fun for all that were involved in recording these songs, but can also bring a few smiles to quite a few who will take a listen to this one.
