This review is from: Songs My Children Taught Me (Audio CD)

I can't believe no one's reviewed this yet.... Before he turned to cranking out numerous film soundtracks, Mark Isham had a few marvelous releases. His Vapor Drawings, Film Music, and Tibet on Windham Hill, and We Begin on ECM, are treasured CDs in my collection. This collection of his music for the Rabbit Ears storybook collections, are an example of him composing for a more specialized audience. The tracks are occasionally heard on radio services, but otherwise unavailable aside from retrospectives.

This is a gentle, wonderful album of his music ... a little awkward without the stories' narrators, but clear and bright for the listener to dream along with.
