Editorial Reviews

Gwendolyn imagined what kind of music she’d like to hear if she was four again and out came the nutty, irresistibly playful tunes of Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang!

The Good Time Gang sounds different than most children’s music due to Gwendolyn’s refreshing anything-goes attitude towards music. This approach allows her to break through the standard nursery rhyme formula, and create a new sound kids respond to immediately. Using her natural ability to do voices, she developed a variety of characters who help sing along. Together, they take their listeners on a silly-willy adventure through music learning and childhood fun. The mood is both nurturing and spontaneous as well as goofy and sweet. Best of all, the songs help children learn more about the world around them. "The Selfish Shellfish," for example, tells a tale of why sharing is important. "Farm Animal Friends" imitates the crazy noises of barnyard critters like roosters, cows, ducks, hens, sheep, pigs and horses. Other songs include lessons in manners, making new friends, and the tune "Scrub, Scrub, Scrub" even makes taking a bath seem like a whooping good time!

Music is an ideal outlet for children and Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang is a perfect way to entertain children ages 2 through 6 while teaching them valuable skills. Better yet, the songs are performed in a manner parents can enjoy with their children! Whatever age you are, Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang is sure to put a smile on your face.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally- A Kids Record I Like Too!!!, March 17, 2004

Let's be honest, most of the stuff out there for kids (I won't mention any of them by name) is just the most god awful annoying mind numbing slop imaginable.
FINALLY, Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang have come out with a record full of educational songs that kids absolutely adore, and as a HUGE bonus the songs are musically smart and interesting so that us poor parents can really enjoy it right along with our kids. I loved Free to be You and Me when I was a kid, and this record by the Good Time Gang is as good, as educational and as amazing - or more so. I know that this record will be as memorable for my kids as that one was has been for me. Brilliant!

Without being too repetitive, I must say that this album has got my entire family singing. We can't help ourselves sometimes. Every song is fun and catchy. The album is filled with wonderful messages that are meaningful rather than corny. We love seeing them perform. They are the real deal. They should be OWNING children's television!

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's favorite!, March 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Gwendolyn and the Good Time Gang (Audio CD)

Gwendolyn and the Gang's first CD is number one on the charts in our house. Imaginative, catchy, not patronizing in any way, these terrific songs put the band right at the forefront of the modern rock and roll kid's music movement, the female counterpart of Dan Zanes, or They Might Be Giants. And check out the live show if you're lucky enough to have Gwendolyn nearby, it's a constant barrel of laughs, dancing and fun that appeals to the parents as much as the kids.
