"Sing Along With Putumayo" (03/23/2004) Children's Various Artists, PutumayoA portion of the proceeds of SING ALONG WITH PUTUMAYO will be donated to the Putymayo Cross-Cultural Initiative. Designed to enhance children's gatherings, each song on SING ALONG WITH PUTUMAYO is playful and uplifting. A variety of musical styles are represented on this disc and many outstanding artists contribute to this CD. In short, listeners will hear an assortment of children's tunes, plus other light fare, as Arlo Guthrie, Taj Mahal, Keb' Mo', and others ask the kids to sing along. Dan Zanes's "A Bushel and a Peck" (from the musical Guys and Dolls) is given a folk treatment here. On this tune, Zanes combines banjo with the soft pulse of a tuba and his own country-inflected voice. This is a simple, carefree tune, and the sound of children playing in the background really adds to the appeal of this track. Taj Mahal's "Don't You Push Me Down" is a reggae tune intended to remind children to play nicely together. This music is not only instructive; it is also fun and easy to dance to. One of the most beautiful and joyous songs ever penned is the lovely "You Are My Sunshine," which is captured on this collection by Elizabeth Mitchell and Daniel Littleton. Strongly folksy, this lyric of love and devotion is rendered exquisitely by Mitchell.

"I Could Sing of Your Love Forever: Kids" (09/07/2004) Children's Various Artists, Worship TogetherPersonnel includes: Hannah Reddick, Brandon Harris, Jadyn Strand, Graham Keen, Paul Martin, Gabe Pigg, Landon Pigg, Ben Byler, Sarah Valley, Megan Trozer (vocals); Matt Huesmann, Jerry McPherson, Dave Cleveland, Joh Hammond, Phil Madiera, Eric Darken. Recorded at Darkhorse and The Matinee Studios, Franklin, Tennessee. Digitally remastered using HDCD technology. This is part of Worship Together Records "I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever" series. Recording information: Darkhorse Studio, Franklin, Tennessee. The highly successful worship music series I COULD SING OF YOUR LOVE FOREVER includes a number of volumes dedicated to spreading a Christian message of faith while entrancing the ear with an agreeable sonic embrace. This entry in the series is no different in that sense, but it's geared directly towards youngsters. Sung by and for kids, these tracks feature group vocals, but the effect is not so much that of a choir, but rather a party. The reason is mostly the accompanying music--effervescent pop-rock full of high-energy hooks, bearing echoes of everything from Hanson to Hootie & the Blowfish. It seems like the perfect way to tune kids who are usually glued to pop radio into the spiritual mission of the I COULD SING OF YOUR LOVE FOREVER discs.

"Disney Mania Vol. 1: Pop" (09/17/2002) Children's Various Artists, Walt Disney RecordsTaking a page from the Hal Willner-produced 1988 collection STAY AWAKE, the folks at the House Of Mouse enlisted 2002's bubble-gum brigade to achieve the same goals with DISNEYMANIA. Some of pop's biggest names have been handed over music from numerous Disney flicks (with most of the emphasis being on '80s and '90s fare), and then asked to give them totally new makeovers. Thus you have Smashmouth infusing a light trip-hop beat, turntable scratches, and surf guitar into "I Wanna Be Like You," Baha Men laying on a dash of steel drums to a bouncy "Hakuna Matata," and No Secrets frolicking amidst the beeping electronics of "Kiss The Girl." Other highlights include Anastacia making over the normally saccharine "Some Day My Prince Will Come" with keyboard washes and a soulful delivery, A*Teens pumping in beats and toasting into "Under The Sea," and *Nsync putting an a cappella stamp onto "When You Wish Upon A Star." Not surprisingly, The Lion King soundtrack gets plundered the most as Aaron Carter puts a "Footloose"-like spin on "I Just Can't Wait To Be King," S Club delivers an understated "Can You Feel The Love Tonight," and Ronan Keating does likewise with a measured "Circle Of Life."

"Disney Mania 2" (01/27/2004) Children's Various Artists, Walt Disney RecordsThis is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. Like the first DISNEY MANIA, this second volume features a collection of mostly teenage pop stars singing songs made famous in Disney movies. Production-wise, most tracks differ little from these artists' regular material, so the combination of super-slick sounds and proven hit songs should please any fan of the genre. Notable deviations from the norm include a rollicking, Caribbean party-perfect version of "It's a Small World" by the Baha Men and a suitably quirky, vintage synthesizer-driven take on "Baroque Hoedown" (from ELECTRICAL PARADE) by They Might Be Giants, which echoes Moog-laden soundtracks of 1970s cinema. With a boatload of can't-miss songs performed by the best squeaky-clean young pop idols America has to offer, DISNEY MANIA 2 is one of those rare albums that should appeal to kids of all ages.

"Have a Fun Christmas" (09/28/2004) Children's Various Artists, Time/Life MusicThe percentage of Americans who are weary of the standard roster of Christmas songs--"Silent Night" and "Joy to the World," among others--is probably quite large. For some listeners, a lifetime of hearing these songs ad infinitum has begun to take its toll. Fortunately, the 20th century has seen a bumper crop of seasonal standards. Some of these tunes lack the weight of tradition, and this quality is part of their appeal. This is holiday music that is often humorous and goes easy on the religious themes, making it more generally accessible. HAVE A FUN CHRISTMAS collects some of the best of these lighthearted tunes on one disc. Jokes and good times are the keynotes here, as on Elmo & Patsy's darkly witty "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer" and the Chipmunks' classic "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)." But there is also the warm familiarity of show biz personalities (Louis Armstrong's "'Zat You, Santa Claus?"), as well as some rock & roll holiday riffs (Bobby Helm's "Jingle Bell Rock"). But the highlight of the album may be the McKenzie Brothers' brilliantly hilarious "Twelve Days of Christmas," which forever transforms the sanctity and romance of the original into something far sillier. Try this album for a refreshing change of holiday pace.
