I think The Alan Root Music is terrific

The one song--Chicken Soup is worth the price of this CD. The rest of the songs are cute kid songs that are fun, but teens and adults will enjoy the Chicken soup song. It gets the point across about the creationist point of view.

I got a copy of this CD and it's great. I own all the other Alan Root CDs, but this one's not available new anymore anywhere. Alan himself only has one copy of this CD he told me (he appeared in concert at my church and I had the opportunity to meet him and help get things set up). He's a really neat guy, and this music is a good intro. The song "Chicken Soup" is a classic everyone loves, but I do like the newer version on "Fortunate Recipient of Another New Day" better. The rest of the songs on this CD, like on his other CD "Popcorn and PJs" are great for younger kids, whereas Alan's other works are fantastic for the preteen audience (like Chicken Soup).

Overall - Alan's a great artist and your kids are sure to love him. If you can get this like I did, it's a great piece of Alan Root history to own, and it's got a different feel from his newer works in many ways. Highly recommended.

Some great music for kids; catchy tunes and fun, interesting lyrics. My family saw Alan on stage this summer and thought his performance was terrific! I was hoping to find this CD on Amazon but will also order "At the Rescue of Me" today via Alan's website (at least the address is there) and where he has song samples.

This CD is extreme fundamentalist Christian -- for example, the song Chicken Soup ridicules the theory of evolution ("You can make soup / From any chicken in the coup / But you can't make a chicken from [primordial] soup!" It's a weird album, as there are some relaxing, adult-style, less-overly-religious acoustic songs, but you also get songs with kids singing "I love Jesus." However, the ultra-relaxing "Backwards In The Back" makes this entire CD worth it, regardless of your religious views.
