With a lighthearted and foot-tapping bounce, these delightful and classic tracks reach out to children through rhyme, clever, fun and accessible lyrics, danceable, swinging rhythms and tasteful humor. If your musical standard for your children is high, "Nicky's Jazz For Kids" will most certainly fit the bill. A highly unusual and uniquely classy album for kids and parents that brings music into the interactive education process. HEAR IT
The RTTsTHE RTTS: turn it up mommy - This CD absolutely made me do a double take, "This is for kids?!" That says a lot for the common denominator of kid's music, when it doesn't give itself away by either the quality or the instrumentation. There just isn't such thing as kid's music that's too sophisticated and "easy listening" for parents and The RTTs certainly drive that point home with, "Turn It Up, Mommy." This wholesome, rootsy and americana-styled album charts the fine balance between an album that's fun, catchy, kid-friendly and yet classic, respectable and considerate of grown-ups. This is no less than kid's music with adult integrity. HEAR IT
Victor JohnsonVICTOR JOHNSON: country blues for kids - Looking for something for the kids' stockings that won't come back to haunt you later? Looking for something that you won't be sick of by December 26th? This country and folky blues albums for kids will fit the bill. Just ignore the child-friendly lyrics and it might as well be one of your own albums; it's that good, that mature and "real music"-sounding. With warm but gruff vocals and a light but bluesy delivery, Victor Johnson's "Country Blues For Kids" is a simple, easy click away from shopping list perfection. HEAR IT
Dan Zanes and FriendsDAN ZANES AND FRIENDS: house party - Having made quite a name for himself in the Childrens' Music arena, Dan Zanes is back with yet another album of sophisticated, upbeat, solid, folky pop songs for not just kids, but their listening families as well. We know that there's little that's appreciated more than the ability to enjoy repeat- upon repeat- playings. Dan has, once again, made sure to craft songs that not only don't talk down to kids but that don't talk down to their parents' tastes as well. From strumming folk tunes to an all-out dance party, this is not an album you will tire of. HEAR IT
