"Songster Ken Lonnquist preaches the environmental gospel in these 26 tunes, which showcase his powerful, versatile voice and creative song writing talents. The best songs should be singles over the children’'s radio airwaves. ‘"Earthy Songs"’ should find a place in every school and public library."            

     ~ Rob Reed, School Library Journal



"Across one hour and 26 tracks, "Earthy Songs" boasts enough catchy tunes to keep younger kids intrigued, challenge older kids to think about the world around them and force parents to answer questions like, "“Dad, what’s photosynthesis?"” Lonnquist also includes standard kiddie-record fare with an animal sound-effects song (“Little Bitty Frog”) and take-care-of-the-earth message (“People Everywhere”). Meanwhile, the pure pop bliss of “This Shall Forever Be” and the Beatles send-up “Metamorphosis” will entertain Mom and Dad."

"Ken Lonnquist delivers a feast of 26 original environmentally-oriented songs here. Wildlife conservation, ecology, recycling, waste reduction, sun power, rain forests, pollution, and urban sprawl are addressed. Mostly mellow and easy on the ear, there is minimal didacticism. Musical styles include folk music, calypso, rock and roll, gospel, and blues. Humor predominates. Guitar, banjo, percussion, and vocals provide variety. This mix of sing-along, clap-along, dance-along, as well as gentle harmonies, is entertaining and enlightening.
