WE have the first of these cd's and plan on getting the others. They are not what you expect when think Disney- in other words, they don't have Micky siging a song or Goofy introducing all the songs. This is just one song after the other, and the songs themselves are excellent. They are the old classics I remember from my childhood. The man who is singing them has a pleasant voice that you can listen to over and over again and not get tired of his singing (that is a must in my opinion on long car trips). At times a children's choir will help sing a song and this only adds to the enjoyment of the songs in my opinion. This CD is a favorite of ours and a favorite of my son (age 2). Well worth the money.

This review is from: Walt Disney Records : Children's Favorite Songs, Vol. 1 : 25 Classic Tunes (Audio CD)

I own all four CDs in this series, and every one of them is satisfying. All the songs except a few are sung by the same man, whose voice is expressive and never grating, with a home-spun, informal quality. Much more tolerable than all-kids CDs. All the songs I remember from growing up are here, performed true-to-original, but with tremendous creative flair. And the arrangements, believe it or not, are diverse and never tiresome. Put simply, I don't get sick of these songs, which is a good thing because I have to hear them over and over. There's a couple of originals on each CD and they're becoming standards in our family. The other kids songs CDs we own languish on the shelf. You can't lose, but I recommend buying all four for diversity's (and possibly sanity's) sake--and so you don't miss out on a favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I've been looking for . . ., March 25, 1999

This review is from: Walt Disney Records : Children's Favorite Songs, Vol. 1 : 25 Classic Tunes (Audio CD)

Highly recommended. This is one of the best collections of children's songs I've found. Volumes 1-4 together contain just about every song you want to sing to your kids but can't remember the words to. All the old favorites are there. The arrangements are nice -- sort of folky, not too cute, with sparing use of kiddie chorus that enhances rather than detracts. It completely avoids the hyper-energetic cutsiness of a lot of children's recordings. The songs are performed by a real live folk singer some may remember from way back named Larry Groce, and he does a good job -- he's engaging, inviting, enthusiastic, without embarrassing himself the way some of those kid singers do. For its completeness, for the good musical taste of the arrangements and production, and for the hours and hours of fun it contains, this entire collection is a must have in our book.
