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.

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.

Length:: 0:36 Mins

The concept of bringing together some of the world's greatest artists to sing out for saving the rainforests and world for our children and future generations was great. The powerful songs from Sharon Katz & The Peace Train of South Africa and Luciano Pavarotti were especially rich in textures and inspiring. Highly recommended for its diversity. Even better was the "Crystal Journey" CD by Sharon Katz & The Peace Train released by Gallo with its dynamic rhythms, compelling lyrics and beautiful voices taking you through the joys of South Africa's rainbow nation!

my review is a very true and honest and truthful one.All the songs are a wonderful blend of different sounds, but by the last two songs the album stumbles till it's over.
