Editorial Reviews

Berserk yet sublime children's tunes from the pen of Shel Silverstein! First time on CD! The teaming of Bobby Bare and Shel Silverstein was one of the most interesting partnerships in Nashville music history. Bare, the country singing star, had a smooth baritone and an ear for strong, unconventional material. Silverstein was an outright maverick, beginning his career as a cartoonist for Playboy magazine he later recorded a number of off-beat and slyly humourous albums of his own but today is best remembered as the author of mesmeric classics of children's literature like Where The Sidewalk Ends and The Giving Tree (as well as composing left-field hits like Johnny Cash's A Boy Named Sue and Marianne Faithfull's Ballad Of Lucy Jordan amongst many others). Together they were responsible for the sublime yet almost forgotten 1974 children's album Singin'In The Kitchen. From the clamorous joy of the title track to Bare's beautiful and poignant rendition of The Giving Tree, Singin' In The Kitchen is a unique, disarmingly well crafted LP. Also included are ten cuts from Bare's superb 1967 gospel LP This I Believe and a number of other rare 45 and album tracks. Remastered with love and care and featuring exclusive detailed liner notes all cuts make their first appearance on CD here. Deluxe packaging, 20 page full colour booklet with exclusive notes, rare photos etc.

I first heard this as a small child - back when they had vinyl records - remember them?? My mom used to play this for us and a few years back - recorded a cassette of it for a surprise. Well, for Christmas this year, I found the cd of the same and got it for them so they could take it with them anywhere. Now, I just have to get it back to listen to it again.....

This is a good feeling cd with some nice songs. One in particular apart from the title track is The Giving Tree a good symbolic song pertaining to (how I see it) If someone gives to you all the time.
