A CD the whole family can agree on

I was slow to be won over by this CD. We got it because Dad likes Jerry and Baby is too young to have an opinion but generally likes music. I'm not typically a bluegrass fan, but there is chemistry between these performers. I first became enamored with "Jenny Jenkins" and "Aint No Bugs on Me," but now find myself humming along to most of the songs, and happily choosing this CD on my own. For reference, my other family favorites are the Putamayo Playground and Sing-Along albums.

This mostly family based group cannot really be defined as anything except good, in my opinion. Lovely harmonies, catchy tunes, and lyrics that take you back to another time and place are just a small part of why this cd and their others get played about ten times more than anything else we listen to.

My kids love this CD (ages 2 & 3) and my husband and I don't mind listening to it either. A lot of the same songs we grew up with in church.

my 1 1/2 and 7 year old both love this and won't stop listening to it on repeat!  it is an honest compromise in music, though, as it is enjoyed by everyone in our family.

We hear our son's music playing over the monitor, so I like cds that will not annoy us and keep us up at night. Some music gets repetative and does not travel well over the monitor. These are such beautiful songs, you forget that they're lullabies. The piano is sooooo soothing! My favorites are "Pop Goes the Weazel" and "There Was an Old Lady that Swallowed a Fly". So sweet and for the whole family to enjoy.

This is a great CD to get for parents and their child/ren. Children never tire of hearing their favorite music, watching their favorite DVD, or hearing their favorite book. This is a CD that the parents will enjoy, too. I promise. No big purple dino music. The lyrics are funny, the songs are catchy, and the recipient of this gift will thank you for being so thoughtful.

Too many products are out there to expose kids to music that is "good for them," causing them to hate it forever.  This CD is a collection of songs from a popular animated TV show and takes them (I'd estimate ages 1-7 will like it) on an amusing and snobbism-free world tour of sounds from funk to swing to tango to hip-hop.  All the songs are sung with kid's voices (that is, the voices of Uniqua, Pablo, Tasha, Austin and Tyrone), but the enunciation is clear even when the vocal chops are a bit strained.  The arrangements are expertly done and skillfully played.

My 5 year-old adores the CD, and it has been in heavy rotation for several months.  Favorites are "P.U. Look Out" (swing jazz), "The Flying Rock Song," (a funky variation on "The Gang's All Here"), "Secret Agent" (Tango), "Laser Limbo" (you guessed it) and "The Yeti Stomp" (funk), and there is no song on the CD that she and her little brother don't like.

As for the adult annoyance factor, I'd say it is low to moderate, and you might even end up humming a couple of the tunes yourself.  "When I'm Booin'" is pretty catchy....

This is a well produced personalized CD.  Worth every single cent!  Warning:  Will be repeated over and over because the kids will love it so much.  Even my other son loves it!  He does not mind his brother's name is inserted in every song.

The first review pretty much says it all, we just wanted to add our stars.  My family and I are big Harry Potter fans and when it was time for my daughter's birthday, she requested a CD of Harry Potter music.  There were several different pieces of which she was particularly fond of and this was the only CD that seemed to have nearly all of them.  If there's one thing that she misses, it's the song "Something Wicked This Way Comes" from the POA film.  Some of the melody is included in the POA suite but she really wanted to sing along.

This CD plays almost constantly in our car's CD system and the kids have a great time remembering what parts of the movies each piece is from.  If you're looking for a Harry Potter CD that represents a bit of the best from each of the first four movies, this is it.  The quality is outstanding as well.

This CD arrived in great condition.  This is one of several CDs I own by Genie and Troy Nilsson.  Every one of them is really good.  Kids love the songs as well as adults.  I use a LOT of Christian music, so I screen several Christian CDs regularly.  I liked the gentler songs that left no doubt as to what the words were; but the kids like really fast songs too.  Especially good were Ask, I Know the Plans I have for You, Wings of Eagles and Do.  For several years, I've been responsible for picking a memory verse each month for our congregation.  We usually minister through a skit or song that mirrors the message of the memory verse before the congregation repeats the verse.  These songs are perfect for these presentations.

This album has something for everyone.  I got this for my daughters and I enjoy it as much as they do.  Hoedown Throwdown, The Climb and Crazier are just three of their favorites.  While I enjoy the song between Hannah and her dad entitled Butterfly Fly Away.  You could listen to all the tracks without skipping ahead, all are good tunes.  Add the two hits from Rascal Flatts and you have yourself a well rounded fun album the whole family can enjoy.

My mom liked the music of George Gershwin.  It was the music of her youth, I suppose; but we never really had music playing in our home when I was a kid.  In my home, however, music plays almost constantly and we listen to a very wide variety of music.  While looking to boost our collection of music from past decades, I stumbled upon this Cd and I'm so glad that I did!  The recordings are of the folks that knew the tunes best, Fred Astaire, Doris Day, Judy Garland, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett and more.  My entire family is enjoying this CD and I LOVE hearing my boys (ages 9 and 14) singing along!

Well sung and lots of fun, this is a CD where most of songs are well worth listening to.  Both my mother-in-law and my teenage daughter enjoy hearing this in the car, so it has multi-generational appeal - that's rare.

I never thought I would be able to tolerate this CD, but I actually enjoy it. The kids LOVE it and we listen to it in the car too. The music is catchy and the lyrics are rather funny. Definite thumbs-up for kids' music. My two-year-old enjoys it just as much as the five-year-old.

I figured we would like this CD as a family, but we love it! The musicianship is incredible, and it's always playful. It works as house cleaning music, joyful dancing music and background dinner music. Of course, mostly I just love to sit and focus on each note.

My 6yo and 3yo love this CD. There's enough English explanation that they follow everything. Even my 3yo is constantly singing the songs, poems and snippets back. We listen to it in the car, which seems to be the most realistic way of absorbing, enjoying and maximizing the experience.

This CD has become a family favorite from age 14 to 46!  You can't help but sing along and feel happy!
