From Parents' Choice®

Little ones who go loco for locomotives, will find lots to love in these 14 clickity-clack-down-the-track songs. All cuts, except "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad," were written by performer James Coffey, who presents them with energy and enthusiasm. Back-ups vary from tinkly player-piano-style lines to the strummed chords of an acoustic guitar, but no matter the instrument, the chug chug chug of the train provides the rhythmic base that carries each tune along. Lyrics are not included on the insert and would have been a welcome addition. A 1998 Parents' Choice® Silver Honor.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son and daughter love this CD! There is a video too!, November 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Ride Along With Me (Audio CD)

Both of my children (boy 4 1/2, girl 1 1/2) love this music about trains - especially the dinosaur song. The CD has stood the test of time at our house. We first borrowed it from the library, and my son was constantly asking to get it again. After several renewals, I finally broke down and bought it. There is also a video called "I Love Toy Trains, Part 4" which is set to this entire collection. Both have been big hits at our house for over a year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Train Tunes!!!, November 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Come Ride Along With Me (Audio CD)

What a fantastic CD! James Coffey's collection of train songs is a hit with my 3-year-old and me. We love the catchy melodies and fun lyrics. My son's favorite is "the fast song", a tune about dinosaurs eating up the railway! This album also includes the grooviest rendition of "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad" that I've ever heard. As a parent, I appreciate that Coffey presents a variety of musical genres, from caribbean to blues Choo-Choo Blues is a hilariously tongue-in-cheek song--"I've got those choo-choo blues because I broke my choo-choo train". And Johnny Cash fans will get a pleasant surprise on track #7. Way to go James! Can't wait for the next CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Adult-friendly music for kids!, October 29, 1998

This review is from: Come Ride Along With Me (Audio CD)

The words are great, the music is sophisticated - intelligent songs for train-savvy kids. James Coffey inserts just enough silliness to make adults and children laugh (the dinosaur ate what?!). Scored major points with my 5 year old nephew with this one!
