5.0 out of 5 stars Why I LOVE this CD..., December 11, 2005

My boys - 7 and 5 - will not let me stop playing this. What I like is that their favorite songs keep changing, and that they are learning to appreciate this record in layers. That's rare, and that's exactly the kind of musical experience I'm trying to encourage them to have.

Here's what I like about it: an amazing range of diverse music, and song style & arrangements that are encompassing enough to include kids singing along, a British rapper, as well as a bosa-nova beat .

The vegetable song even helped get my younger one to try every vegetable mentioned in the song! And he's been eating broccoli ever since!!!

I would recommend this CD to anyone with kids 4 through 9 or 10 - beyond the "kiddie" kiddie stuff, but still open to music that isn't on MTV. It's smart and hip, in a warm way, and most of all, funny in a very human, real way that (it would seem to me) anyone who likes that kind of stuff would relate to.

My 3 year old begs to listen at every meal. The songs are funny & easy to sing along to over & over.

This review is from: My Daddy Is Scratchy (Audio CD)

I got this CD from the library by accident. I'm embarrassed to say I only looked at the name "Jamie" and the cover art by Laura Cornell who also illustrates Jamie Lee Curtis's books (which we love) and I assumed it was songs by Jamie Lee Curtis. Why that seemed a good idea to me, I'm not sure. But I got it and was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did my 4-year-old daughter LOVE the songs, but I rather enjoyed them myself. It is refreshing to hear something other than the nonsensical Wiggles that regularly plays in our car.

Jamie Broza writes songs from the point of view of the child. My daughter can relate to everything he says. While she may not learn much from his song in the way of lessons (which many singers for kids attempt to do through semi-preachy little ditties), she sings along word for word and belly laughs at all the appropriately funny parts. Jamie Broza's songs are hilarious without being "dumbed down" for children. It is obvious he both respects children and finds them adorably amusing as many parents do - myself included.

In addition, his music is very interesting. Each song sounds different in style and tone. You can tell he has a background in writing music for television and film. His songs tell stories and capture your imagination with their more complicated vocal and instrumental arrangements.

So after having both this and his other CD ("Bad Mood Mom") out from the library for about a month, I think we will have to buy these and add them to our permanent car music collection. My daughter likes them that much.
