This CD evokes a flood of memories. I can be found listening to this CD with or without my children around. I played "Meteors/The Perseid" on an August night at a family campout. Wonderful! From "Camping in the Wilderness...in My Backyard" to "Power Mower" (my boys especially love this one) this is a real summer MUST. Even "Kid Who Hates Summer" is a fun one when you know that John grew up where summers were short and cool. "Meteors" is my favorite, but each song is special.

This has been the favorite album of my 7 year old daughter for this summer. Music that her mom and dad can enjoy over and over again with her. I am catching myself humming the tunes with her and at the office, oh no.

John McCutcheon really captures the feelings of summer in this one. We especially like "Camping in the Wilderness", "The Haircut", and "Power Mower". The kids love it, the parents love it. We even play it in the winter sometimes. (Although his Winter album is excellent also.)

this cd was sent promptly and it is a great cd, love to listen to the songs on this cd, i have purchased all of John McCutheon's cds

Continuing his set of albums devoted to the four seasons, McCutcheon put together SUMMERSONGS. Like the other albums in the series, SUMMERSONGS celebrates many of the great things about summer but relived from a child's perspective. From the old "Swimming Hole" to playing with some "Mud" on the ground. "Riding My Bike" or visiting with the "Ice Cream Man". These are the things that kids do, see, and experience during the summer. My favorite song on the album is "Meteors/The Perseid"--it's an enchanting song about the beauty of the night sky and what goes on up by the stars. I recommend this as a great album that families can enjoy together.

Amazingly enough, I discovere Summersongs in a friend's car on the way to a conference in Charlottesville about two years ago. I loved it then, and I just recently bought a copy of my own. I LOVE the song about Mud. I've seen John McCutcheon so many times now that he knows me by name and I always make a point of talking to him after his concerts. I even have his autograph. All in all, I'd say buy this album. It is perfect for anybody who enjoys summer, or even hates summer.
