5.0 out of 5 stars This is an awesome CD by an awesome singer!, June 23, 2000

This is my first Art Garfunkel solo album, and I absolutey love it! The songs are so precious. "Lasso the Moon" is a beautiful song. It puts me to sleep every time. "Good Luck Charm" sung by Art's 6 year old son, James, is really cool. He really did an outstanding job! Kids will get a kick out of hearing him sing. "Morning Has Broken" is beautiful, too. It gives praise to the Lord for all the things the morning brings. This CD, in my opinion, is Art's best. Thank you, Art! God bless you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very enjoyable CD, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Songs from a Parent to a Child (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed this CD, as did my 7yo son and 4yo daughter. The song "The things handed down" is especially beautiful. I also really enjoyed the duet w/ his young son, "Good luck charm." It is not only well done and sweet, but my kids really like the fact that a child helped make the CD. Many of the other songs are re-makes of favorite classics that are beautifully sung. You can't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars An instant classic -one song is lovelier than the next, October 15, 1999

By	David Goodman (Pueblo, Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Songs from a Parent to a Child (Audio CD)

Almost all songs, with the exception of the boppy one, Good Luck Charm, sung by his little boy, are quite mellow...and very appropriate for bedtime. Dreamland and Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, moreover, are perfect as such. It'd be difficult for me to pick a favorite song - all have beautiful, catchy melodies and words. Some, in their evocativeness regarding parent-child love, still bring tears to the eyes of this new parent. That said, many of these songs are also touching when listened to as traditional love songs. Finally, the writers of some of these songs include Lennon/McCartney, James Taylor, Mary C. Carpenter, Marc Cohn, Garfunkel and others.
