A T. rex Named Sue

Award-winning producer, songwriter, Mike Himelstein, serves up a musical birthday party in celebration of Sue the T. rex’s 5th anniversary at The Field Museum in Chicago. The most intact Tyrannosaurus rex ever found roars to life with original songs and a great guest lineup plus a mindbending 3D cover! Five-time Grammy Award-winning vocal performer, Al Jarreau, is the guest narrator and takes you on Sue’s journey from her discovery to her perspective on her new home and new friends. Al Jarreau's unique vocal style and innovative musical expressions have made him one of the most exciting and critically-acclaimed performers of our time, earning him scores of international music awards and popular accolades worldwide, including a star on the "Hollywood Walk of Fame" commemorating his status as one of the best singers of his generation. The recording features a wide musical variety from the upbeat, foot stomping, Texas swing of How Do You Get To South Dakota? (performed by Travelin’ Smiley Whippersnapper), the New Orleans Bourbon Street inspired Bones (sung by Al Jarreau), a snappy, song about, you guessed it, Sue’s bones, to the jazzy piano lounge crooning of Greg Himeistein, See ‘Em In The Museum, and the down-home blues of Sue’s Chicago Blues (performed by Bonnie Bramlett & Joe Bonamassa.) Other guest artists include: Martha Davis (of The Motels), and Spanky McFarlane who join in the celebration as well.
