5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific album for a truly worthwhile cause, May 25, 2001

This review is from: Carnival: Rainforest Foundation Concert (Audio CD)

This album is not a concert like the title here suggests. They are individual studio tracks with only one being a live recording, and that is the James Taylor track "I bought me a cat".

This album is terrific. It has a very diverse eclectic mix of styles, from old lullabys, to folk, classical and even the National Anthem of South Africa. The main theme running through them all though is children, for children, and a hope for a better world for them. But that does not in any way mean that this is an album for children, although they would enjoy it. This is an album for people, all people. And all proceeds will go towards saving the Earths rainforests. The packaging is great...a cardboard gatefold case with a 32 page book with all lyrics and photos of all the artists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic Mix, February 8, 2000

This review is from: Carnival: Rainforest Foundation Concert (Audio CD)

A beautiful blend of folk music and modern flavor. From Pavarotti to Paul Simon, the listener is treated to an eclectic mix of music that is a refreshing break from the pre-pubescent pop/rock sound of today's mainstream music.
