Here Come The ABCs [CD & DVD] [10/25]
"Here Come the ABC's" (10/25/2005) Rock & Pop They Might Be Giants, DisneySoundThey Might Be Giants: John Flansburgh (vocals, various instruments); John Linnell. Critics may laud They Might Be Giants' knack for ingenious pop hooks and nimble, brainy wordplay (and those things are certainly true), but another aspect of their appeal is that their music is so fun and goofy it can make the listener feel like a kid. It is no surprise then that Giants John Flansburgh and John Linnell are naturals at making recordings for children (see their excellent release NO!). HERE COME THE ABCS, released on Disney's label, bears all the giddy hallmarks of TMBG's best work. As the title intimates, HERE COME THE ABCS is about the alphabet. The album-length conceit spins the 26 letters through the Johns' wacky imagination, anthropomorphizing them ("E Eats Everything"), using them to illustrate geography ("Alphabet of Nations"), and even pitting them against each other ("D & W"). As usual with the Giants, there are games galore ("Can You Find It?"), interesting philosophical questions ("Who Put the Alphabet in Alphabetical Order?"), and a kaleidoscope of musical styles, including Beatlesque psych-pop ("Pictures of Pandas Painting"), twangy country ("Fake-Believe"), and funky indie-rock (the aforementioned "E Eats Everything"). HERE COME THE ABCS is ingenious, weird, silly, and great fun for playful kids and adults.

Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics by Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra/Various Artists (CD - 03/16/200
"Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics" (03/16/2004) Children's Baby Einstein Music Box Orchest, Walt DisneyBaby Einstein: Anik Oulianine (cello); Aaron Drake (flute); Dan Willis (English horn, oboe); Tom Nazziola (piano, keyboards); Bill Weisbach (keyboards, percussion, chapman stick); Clive Smith (keyboards). Personnel: Anik Oulianine (cello); Aaron Drake (flute); Dan Willis (oboe, English horn); Tom Nazziola (piano, keyboards); Bill Weisbach (keyboards, Chapman stick, percussion); Clive Smith (keyboards). Audio Mixer: Bill Weisbach. Arranger: Bill Weisbach. Though there exist many children's-music discs geared towards dancing, singing, learning, and generally keeping kids active and entertained, there are fewer that address the all-so-important nap time that follows. Luckily, Baby Einstein's LULLABY CLASSICS is perfect for when youngsters (and parents) need a break. The 17-track CD features well-known classical pieces performed by the Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra, an ensemble comprised of several keyboards, cello, flute, English horn, oboe, percussion, and Chapman Stick (a stringed instrument that combines the ranges of the guitar and bass). Throughout, the tunes are played in an even-tempered manner that is, while often sprightly in tempo, light and soothing. The instrumentation seems carefully chosen to smooth out the music's more animated edges, making the proceedings just right for drifting off to sleep. Even classical music neophytes will be familiar with Beethoven's "Fur Elise" and "Moonlight Sonata," but less well known pieces such as Smetana's "The Moldau" (a gentle waltz with a slight ethnic flavor), and Mendelssohn's jaunty "Spring Song" contribute equally to the prevailing sense of tranquility.

Free To Be...You And Me [5/9] *
"Free to Be...You and Me" (05/09/2006) Pop Vocal Various Artists, Sony Music Distribution (USA)Additional guest artists: Dick Cavett, Carol Channing, Billy De Wolf, Rosey Grier, Shirley Jones, Bobby Morse, The New Seekers, Diana Ross, Diana Sands, Tommy Smothers. Recorded at A&R Studios in New York City. Various Artists/Marlo Thomas: Bobby Morse, Rosey Grier, Dick Cavett, Harry Belafonte, Jack Cassidy , Alan Alda, Marlo Thomas, Mel Brooks, Shirley Jones , The New Seekers, Tom Smothers, Diana Ross, Billy DeWolfe, Carol Channing (vocals). This soundtrack album to the Emmy Award-winning 1974 children's TV special has become something of a classic over the years, and with good reason--its kid-friendly message of tolerance still resonates. More importantly, the songs, including contributions from Broadway vet Sheldon Harnick and Dr. Hook auteur Shel Silverstein, are cute without being cloying--"My Dog Is a Plumber" and "Don't Dream Your Cat in an Apron" are particularly endearing--and the cast is pure '70s variety-show heaven. Frankly, any album featuring Alan Alda, Mel Brooks, and Carol Channing is doing something right from the get-go.

Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection
"Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection" (09/21/2004) Soundtracks Various Artists, Walt DisneyDisney Princess The Ultimate Song Collection is one of the better ideas for a Disney compilation: it's a collection of most of the memorable songs sung by the princesses in films spanning Snow White and the Seven Dwarves to Pocahontas and Mulan. The album opens with "If You Can Dream," a new song featuring all of the vocal talents behind the princesses in the later Disney movies. Like most diva collaborations, it's less than the sum of its parts, with bland songwriting detracting from the performances of Jodi Benson (The Little Mermaid's Ariel), Lea Salonga (Aladdin's Jasmine and Mulan), Judy Kuhn (Pocahontas), and Paige O'Hara (Beauty and the Beast's Belle). However, the rest of the collection is strong, serving up memorable songs from latter-day Disney films like The Little Mermaid's "Part of Your World" and "Kiss the Girl" and The Lion King's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight." Kuhn's performances of Pocahontas' "Just Around the Riverbend" and "Colors of the Wind" are also standouts due to her striking voice, which is stronger and more womanly than most of the other singers who have given their voices to Disney princesses. Happily, the love songs from the studio's classic films get their due as well: the purity and sweetness of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves' "Someday My Prince Will Come," Cinderella's "So This Is Love," and Sleeping Beauty's "Once Upon a Dream" are welcome reminders of these films' enduring quality. While it's not as necessary as some other Disney best-ofs, Disney Princess: The Ultimate Song Collection is still a charming celebration of fairy-tale romance. ~ Heather Phares

Putumayo Kids Presents: Dreamland - World Lullabies by Various Artists (CD - 05/20/2003)
"Putumayo Kids Presents: Dreamland - World Lullabies" (05/20/2003) Children's Various Artists, PutumayoPerformers include: Angelique Kidjo, Carlos Santana, Zulya, Beatriz Pichi Malen, Claudia Martinez, Letterstick Band, Fortuna, Sibongile Khumalo, Erick Manana, The Sanshin Cafe Orchestra, Virginia Rosa, Teresa Doyle, Tanja Solnik, Lynn Morrison. Liner Note Author: Jacob Edgar. Illustrator: Nicola Heindl. Arrangers: Lynn Morrison; Sibongile Khumalo. Putumayo's Dreamland - World Lullabies & Soothing Songs gathers a baker's dozen of diverse but restful songs aimed at -- but not restricted to -- children. The collection takes care to represent as many countries and continents as possible, and likewise presents its liner notes in four different languages (English, Spanish, French, and Dutch) and offers phonetic pronunciations of the artists' names and song titles. However, the eclecticism and egalitarianism of the album feel anything but forced, as calming but beautifully distinct songs such as Ang?lique Kidjo & Carlos Santana's West African-inspired "Na?ma," a lullaby written for and named after Kidjo's daughter, and Eric Manana's ode to his mother and his homeland of Madagascar, "Ny Fitiaavako An'I Mama," flow into each other. At other times the album makes unique cultural and musical contrasts, putting Teresa Doyle's wintry "A Lullabye," a traditional Scottish-Canadian song, next to the considerably warmer and softer "Thula Mama" by Sowetan vocalist Sibongile Khumalo. Not surprisingly, the Brazilian lullabies -- Virginia Rosa's "L  Vai Algu?m" and Fortuna's "Durme Durme" (which also reflects her Sephardic heritage) -- are among the most elegant on the collection; the Sanshin Cafe Orchestra's playful lullaby from Okinawa, Japan, "Cradle Song," is possibly the most creative, musically speaking. All of the songs on the album are so lovely and so invested with the artists' heritage that it's somewhat surprising that most of these songs were culled from other albums instead of being recorded for this project. Lynn Morrison's Scottish lullaby "Cradle Spell of Dunvegan" is a song she learned to sing her son to sleep, and tells the story of a man who marries a fairy and has a son with her; the fairy disappears, but returns when she hears the child crying in the night and soothes him. Tanja Solnik's Jewish lullaby "Numi Numi," Beatriz Pichi Malen's Argentinian "Canci¢n Para Dormir a un Ni?o," and Zulya's Russian "Lullaby" have a similar bittersweet beauty, while Claudia Martinez's "Arriba del Cielo" and the Letterstick Band's aboriginal Australian lullaby "Yi-Rrana" are more on the cute and charming side. Along with offering many different ways to go to sleep, Dreamland - World Lullabies & Soothing Songs is a fascinating, educational collection of music for music fans old and young alike. ~ Heather Phares

Barney's Big Surprise! Live on Stage by Barney (Children) (CD - 07/27/2004)
"Barney's Big Surprise! Live on Stage" (07/27/2004) Children's Barney (Children), Koch Records (USA)Personnel: Bob West (Barney); Julie Johnson (Baby Bop); Patty Wirtz (BJ). Personnel: Julie Johnson , Bob West , Patty Wirtz (vocals). This soundtrack from the stage show finds Barney, Baby Bop, and their kid pals together with Professor Tinkerputt, Mother Goose, and Old King Cole preparing a birthday surprise for BJ. Much of the material is familiar, from Barney standards like "The Rainbow Song"and "Barney Is a Dinosaur" to traditional favorites like "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." Others were written for this show. Regardless, they have that combination of zestfulness, unfailing good humor, and tenderheartedness that are Barney's hallmarks. That seems to drive some people bonkers, but for the thousands of little ones and their parents who enjoy the purple one and his pals, this is the next best thing to being there. ~ Ross Boissoneau

The tracks with vocals are complete vocal versions, rather than versions featuring guiding, low-level background voices.

Disney: The Best of Silly Songs by Various Artists/Disney (CD - 01/27/2004)
"Disney: The Best of Silly Songs" (01/27/2004) Children's Various Artists, Walt DisneyDespite its Disney imprint, Disney: The Best of Silly Songs isn't an especially distinctive set of singalong songs. The Disney characters do show up on some of the tracks: Goofy leads a singalong of "A Penny," Mickey Mouse and Goofy do a quick comedy routine on "Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay!," Goofy returns on "Baby Bumble Bee," and Donald Duck, along with Huey, Louie, and Dewey, sing "Be Kind to Your Web-Footed Friends," appropriately enough. Most of the album, however, consists of unremarkable and somewhat shrill versions of songs like "I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream." Disney: The Best of Silly Songs definitely offers quite a bit in quantity, with 30 songs in total. It's too bad that quality wasn't the main aim, though -- fewer and funnier songs would have made the album come closer to living up to its title. Still, there are worse children's silly-song collections out there, so Disney: The Best of Silly Songs may still have some worth for families looking for some funny songs. ~ Heather Phares
