4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Compilation...Not Bad, Not Great March 20, 2012

By Edward Park

Format:MP3 Music|Amazon Verified Purchase

I purchased this album because my wife and I were always at a loss on how to sing some of the nursery rhymes in a book we had (and I was getting tired of looking them up on youtube all the time). This is a nice compilation in this regard, but I have to say the performances and production were a bit on the karaoke side and of varying quality from the predominantly two groups that were recorded; The Columbia River Players and the Big Blue Dog Players. Furthermore, the style of music is a bit inconsistent; some of the songs are played traditionally while others have an upbeat dance/techno-ish drum track. Also, most of the instruments were synth tracks (if not all). It is worth mentioning that some of the performers (Blue Dog Players) have non-American accents, not really an issue for me, but perhaps for some parents it might be (Reference: Alphabet Song). I haven't really figured out what accent it is, but I venture to guess Austrailian since Waltzing Matilda is one of the included tracks? But it could very well be Canadian or British, you get the picture. All in all I am satisfied with the purchase, after all it's 3 hours of different songs for your little one for under 6 bucks. If you prefer more quality over quantity, I highly recommend Disney: Children's Favorites Vol. 1 performed by Larry Groce over this album.

2.0 out of 5 stars Its ok but like most children's music.. WHY all the choir music? April 23, 2012

By Tonks Plum

Its really hard to find kid's music that does not have the over abused choir voices belting out the tunes. I don't know anyone who enjoys hearing choirs all.the.time. And its not like the songs NEED a choir. Someone got it in his.her head that children will respond to a bunch of kids singing vs one talented adult or one talented singer.

PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, STOP using choirs for kids songs!! Too much of anything is bad. It gets to the point where all the songs sound the same & good luck having a toddler keep up with the words unless they already know the song.. Choir music makes it really hard to break up the words so that kids can sing along.

For people sick of the "same old" nursery music CD's, I recommend:

Beatrix Potter Nursery Rhyme Book and CD
I bought it for the music but the book is great, too. The people who made this CD, knew what they where doing! Its a musical trip into Beatrix's world. Wonderful singers (different age ranges and sex) bring each nursery rhyme to life. I can't get enough of it.

With 110 pieces of children's songs to choose from, you will definitely find some you really love and some you don't like. I liked most of them.
