5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific album for a truly worthwhile cause, May 25, 2001

By	G. Sawaged (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This album is not a concert like the title here suggests. They are individual studio tracks with only one being a live recording, and that is the James Taylor track "I bought me a cat".

This album is terrific. It has a very diverse eclectic mix of styles, from old lullabys, to folk, classical and even the National Anthem of South Africa. The main theme running through them all though is children, for children, and a hope for a better world for them. But that does not in any way mean that this is an album for children, although they would enjoy it. This is an album for people, all people. And all proceeds will go towards saving the Earths rainforests. The packaging is great...a cardboard gatefold case with a 32 page book with all lyrics and photos of all the artists.

4.0 out of 5 stars Eclectic Mix, February 8, 2000

By	Yardbird (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews

A beautiful blend of folk music and modern flavor. From Pavarotti to Paul Simon, the listener is treated to an eclectic mix of music that is a refreshing break from the pre-pubescent pop/rock sound of today's mainstream music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great concept; loved Sharon Katz & The Peace Train!, November 9, 1998

By A Customer

The concept of bringing together some of the world's greatest artists to sing out for saving the rainforests and world for our children and future generations was great. The powerful songs from Sharon Katz & The Peace Train of South Africa and Luciano Pavarotti were especially rich in textures and inspiring. Highly recommended for its diversity. Even better was the "Crystal Journey" CD by Sharon Katz & The Peace Train released by Gallo with its dynamic rhythms, compelling lyrics and beautiful voices taking you through the joys of South Africa's rainbow nation!
