This is what happens when a professional music producer, who is a fan of of both Bob Dylan's works from the 1960's, as well as Dr. Seuss' classic literature, has too much time on his hands.  The attention to detail is incredible.  The Hammond organ-steeped instrumentation, the near perfect vocal imitation and the purposely low-fidelity recording are a brilliant homage to vintage Dylan.  The lyrics - pretty much direct readings of Seuss' original texts - lend themselves very well to the musical style.  However, once the comedic novelty wears off, what is left is somewhat boring.

Suggested sample track: "Green Eggs and Ham"

Recommendation: if like Dr. Seuss, Bob Dylan or both, then this is well worth a listen on Grooveshark.  High quality MP3s are also available via the usual suspects, in case you want a copy for your portable player.
