5.0 out of 5 stars
great music!,
By Tess Barlowe (The Wilds of Upstate New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Welcome Table: Songs of Inspiration, Mystery, and Good Times [Amazon Exclusive] (Audio CD)
This is a great album -- one of our 2-year-old's faves, & we like it too. I'm mystified by the comment of the reviewer who didn't like it because it was too Christian. We're a fairly religious Jewish family, but even though most of these songs come from a different tradition, we relate to & enjoy them. A good way to put it: this album has soul! If you do, too, I bet you'll like it.

Great Arrangements of Trad Gospel Songs,
By starhick "starhick" (nashville) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Welcome Table: Songs of Inspiration, Mystery, and Good Times [Amazon Exclusive] (Audio CD)
I had ran across some Dan Zanes children's records before and was glad to hear some kid's music made with heart and spirit and not dumbed down blandness. So it's great to hear this collection where Dan revs up some old Gospel. Gospel is a genre guilty of dumbed down blandness to be sure so Dan has done this trick twice. His band has a really organic vibey sound with a lovely use of folk instrumentation and harmonies. It made me go out and buy a Rosetta Tharp record! Makes your foot kick and your heart feel glad. It's the beauty of the message-everyone is welcome. There is a dearth of exciting and challenging Christian Art being made so this a welcome release. This is not to say Zanes is a Christian (I don't know) but he definitely puts across the music in a positive way. Shoot Tom Waits does some dynamite gospel on record. Anyways, it's a good time.
5.0 out of 5 stars
A revelation,

This was the first Dan Zanes album that I stumbled across, and it has opened up a wonderful world of music to lift the spirit and bring people together across the age barrier. Family music beats kids music every time. Good on Dan Zanes and his friends for giving us help in building community in our dislocated age. This particular album is excellent within our church context as well, with gospel numbers like 'By and By' and 'Up Above My Head' a big hit.
