Some family music calls for cranking the volume and rocking out. Renee & Jeremy's calls for sitting cross-legged on the floor à la preschool circle time. Gentle is this pair's guiding principle--they will be your moon, as they sing on "Night Mantra," and as they prompt you, or your Cinderella-nightgown-clad 3-year-old, to close your eyes on "Falling Star Lullaby," they will kindly point out that love will always be there, and so will they ("let the rhythm remind you," goes the harmony). Reinforcement of this kind rarely comes in a package so palatable: Renee Stahl's voice is a lovely instrument that takes on shades of Cowboy Junkie Margo Timmons' at times, and Jeremy Toback's is rock-solid and frills-free. Together, they craft music that doesn't try too hard but measures up beautifully. --Tammy La Gorce

Review

I generally save CD-specific comments for my columns, but I've gotta say this: Renee & Jeremy's It's a Big World is flat-out gorgeous. Warm, sweet, at-times haunting. Beautiful. Go get it. Now. If you don't like it, track me down and we'll make it right somehow. (But if you don't like it, you're wrong.) --Spare The Rock, Spoil The Child

This review is from: It's A Big World (Audio CD)

Listening to the tracks on this wonderful album brings a sense of peace and envelops one in a blanket of calm. The mellifluous voice of Renee Stahl is beautiful and inspiring and blends in harmoniously with the talented voice of Jeremy Toback. The tracks are immensely soothing, and the best feature is the fact that these lullabies/ quiet time music are pleasing not just for babies and tots, but parents too.

This review is from: It's A Big World (Audio CD)

I've been a big fan of Renee Stahl's music, and a few months ago picked up "It's a big world..." and we have not been disappointed. My wife runs a daycare, and uses it with the kids, who love it, but I have to admit, I'm 40, and I bought the CD because I liked it FIRST! Ok, getting a little childish there... But that's what this CD is all about. They wrote it for us parents who want music that the parents can actually stand to listen to with the children. So toss out one or two of those kids CDs you hate and buy this disc! You absolutely will not be disappointed. It's a MUST HAVE!
