Quotes:
..."The Secret Mountain brings forth tuneful silliness with My Name is Chicken Joe (48 pages, $22.95), with music and words by the duo Trout Fishing in America and illustrations by Stephane Jorisch. ..

..."Trout Fishing in America rise to the challenge on My Name is Chicken Joe, the latest kids' book/CD combo release by Canadian publisher, The Secret Mountain...an entertaining story set to catchy music I'd describe as a folk/pop/country hybrid. Like the best kids' music, Trout Fishing in America's songs manage to appeal lyrically to children without being condescending, while offering enough variety and musical prowess to maintain the interest of adults"...Wired, April 13, 09
