5 out of 5 stars Fun Family Music.......2007-04-11

This is a fun musical experience for kids of all ages. My son (age 9) has memorized almost all of the songs and loves the humor in the music. we have given this CD as a gift numerous times and every one seems to love it.

4 out of 5 stars Truly a Family Party.......2007-01-19

Good CD to listen to with the kids. Great change of pace for when the kids start to wear out one of their other favorite CDs. A few of the songs are geared more for the adults than the kids but a good mix of songs for everyone.

5 out of 5 stars New Mom...New Trout Fan.......2005-09-08

OK,I admit it...I ordered this CD because of one song, My Hair Had A Party Last Night (The phrase has become a regular morning greeting in our house.) The great surprise about this CD...every song is a winner. No telling kids what to do or think, just great songs about cool stuff that sounds like fun! We love it!

5 out of 5 stars Buy it!!!.......2004-05-30

Love, love, love!!! I have given this CD numerous times as a gift. Just a great collection of songs! I DARE you to NOT try to count along with 18 Wheels on a Big Rig!

For "adult" Trout, check out "Reel Life"...I listen to it all the time, even after owning it for about 7 years now. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars kids music for adults.......2004-05-10

For everyone who has ever said "not AGAIN" when loading traditional "kids" music in the car, this is the album for your family. We got ours on cassette and wore it out; we're still not tired of it. Who can resist a group that counts to 18 in roman numerals and gets it right? The songs are singable, danceable, and great fun. It's got just the right mix of fast and slow, silly and serious, and none of the annoying frenetic goofiness often heard in kids albums.

Album Description

A children's album, influenced by James Taylor, Bob Dorough (Schoolhouse Rock) and Randy Newman, Great Big Sun is full of songs that are by turn humorous, educational and poignant yet never lose the wide-eyed naiveté of childhood.·

“Great Big Sun is directly responsible for some of the fondest memories I will have of our twin daughters infancy. In fact, I'm so fond of [Great Big Sun] that I've played it for my own enjoyment when the girls were nowhere near.” - Lou Diamond Phillips, Film Actor

5 out of 5 stars Great CD!! Parents & kids can enjoy!!!.......2007-01-10

My son heard one of Justin's songs on a kids network. I searched for the CD and I'm so glad I tracked it down. ALL of the songs on this CD are catchy and singable - without driving parents crazy if they have to listen to it over and over.

5 out of 5 stars Not just for kids.......2006-06-06

This quirky and smart CD is one that my kids love and is never tiresome to me. I often listen to this CD even when my kids are not around. It is just that good. His puts on a great live show.

4 out of 5 stars We LOVE Justin Roberts.......2005-08-06

My daughter, age 2.5 sings every song on this CD. Little Raindrop being our favorite...along with Everything else starts with E. .... no wait we love the WHOLE thing!! You will too!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD you and your family will enjoy.......2005-07-13

I have been working backwards through the JR catalog and this second title I own by this artist. Great Big Sun is catchy, humorous, intelligent, soulful (yes I said soulful describing a children's album) and positive. The title track (Great Big Sun) sets a high bar and the tone followed by refreshingly creative new spins on counting ('If you got 1'), the alphabet ('Everything else starts with e' and 'a,b,c,d,e'), and childhood ('Apple tree'). The themes are relevant to life, no matter what age. The only negatives compared to 'Way Out' are the run time is a little short at 31:56 and 'Do You Wanna Go' does not fit in with the other songs in speed or tempo. However, this is music you and your family will enjoy..."Aint gonna let no wolf run my life"...

5 out of 5 stars first songs my kids clapped for.......2005-01-11

My boys get so excited when we play this CD. Fortunately, it is very easy for adults to listen to as well. There are a couple tracks on this CD - everytime we here them my 18 month old applauds.

4 out of 5 stars Choo Choo Music.......2007-06-05

I ordered this CD for my three year old son after seeing how much he loved the I Love Toy Trains DVD's. I Love Toy Trains DVD Parts (1-3) He was so excited when I gave it to him, and he wanted to listen to it right away. He loves to listen to it when we are in the car. Track number one has a great train bell sound effect that he loves, and "Choo Choo Blues" is one that he loves to sing along to. I plan to look into more James Coffey music for my son.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect for kids that love choo-choo trains!!!.......2006-08-22

I bought this CD to play as background music at my son's train themed birthday party. All of the kids loved the music and we had a wide age range. I highly recommend this CD for kids whether they have a love of trains or not. Very fun car riding tunes!

5 out of 5 stars Turn up the volume!.......2000-11-14

I have two kids (a boy and a girl ages 3 1/2 and 2) who love this music. My son tells me to stop talking and turn up the volume when we listen. They love to get their instruments out and play along. James Coffey writes the music for a train video series produced by Tom McComas (....) that parents will want to check out. My kids prefer these videos over the Thomas series and I think the music is the reason.

5 out of 5 stars Right On Track!.......2000-02-23

My kids got this as a gift from friends in the U.S. and it is a hit both at home and amongst my kids' friends who keep borrowing it (much to my kids' dismay since they listen to it almost non-stop). The English speakers love the lyrics and the non-English speakers love the music! It is a favorite in our house...we love it all!

5 out of 5 stars My son and daughter love this CD! There is a video too!.......1999-11-24

Both of my children (boy 4 1/2, girl 1 1/2) love this music about trains - especially the dinosaur song. The CD has stood the test of time at our house. We first borrowed it from the library, and my son was constantly asking to get it again. After several renewals, I finally broke down and bought it. There is also a video called "I Love Toy Trains, Part 4" which is set to this entire collection. Both have been big hits at our house for over a year.

Music of the West and the Western movies, sung and played by the remarkable Nickel Creek Band, consisting of Chris Thile ( age 12 and now with 2 solo bluegrass mandolin albums by the age of 18), Sara Watkins (age 11 at the time),Sean Watkins (age 15), and Scott Thile (Chris' dad.) Great, vivid interpretations of America's cowboy standards, sung and played by children. Kids love to hear other kids singing, and adults will be entertained, and astonished by the singing and playing abilities of the Nickel Creek Band. (By the way, 6 years later, they're still together, and making a bluegrass (newgrass) record of their own music, produced by bluegrass great Alison Krauss.

5 out of 5 stars Great CD for Little Kids.......2007-06-08

It is not often that one can hear their favorite band singing as little kids. That is exactly what you get on this CD. Nickel Creek, known for it's folksy, soft melodies made this CD when they were all between 10 and 14. Now, if you are not into little kids singing high notes, then maybe this CD isn't for you. My niece and nephew love it. They even want to be cowboys someday too! If you love Nickel Creek, its worth it to get this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Nickel Creek were already brilliant musicians as pre-teens.......2007-02-14

This CD is for the Nickel Creek fan who

A)already has all the other cds, and
B) Enjoys the "traditional Country/Western roots" that their music evolved from...or
C)is a parent or grandparent wanting some 'safe' and fun music to share with kids with NO element of today's 'trashy' side....

They are doing classic "gene Autry' style cowboy tunes from an era long since past....the band members are all between 10 and 12 years old on this album.(except a dad who helps out) Their performance is consistently flashy and their playing and singing could only be called 'virtuoso'.....Keep in mind, however that this is Nickel Creek BEFORE they were heavily influenced by everyone from Radiohead to the Beatles.......this is music for KIDS to enjoy, but it is neither modern/current, nor does it bear resemblance to the latest bluegrass/modern rock hybrid that we SOOOOOO love them for.

2 out of 5 stars Nickel Creek Origins..........2007-01-20

I purchased this CD shortly after finding out that Nickel Creek would be disolving their union as a band. I hoped that this collection would be suitable for both myself (as a strong supporter of Nickel Creek) and my two children. This CD honestly fails to deliver a suitable substitution for the music that Nickel Creek produced over the past 7 years. Although, I guess that was an unrealistic expectation to have for this CD. You have to keep in mind that the members of Nickel Creek were just children themselves when they released this CD. I don't believe that they had found their true musical identity, and they obviously wouldn't have reached their full musical potential yet. This CD isn't really the best for a todler either, so I have to say that this purchase was a let down overall.

5 out of 5 stars Starting Point.......2007-01-09

Considering their ages when this disc was recorded....there is only one word to describe "AMAZING"

5 out of 5 stars Great cd for kids!.......2007-01-03

My 6 year old nephew loved this cd, but I have another 5 year old nephew that didn't like the "I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart" and gave his away!!!
The whole cd will not make mom go crazy listening to it over and over.
Well, maybe the 100th time will make her crazy, but the rest of the time she will sing along!

5 out of 5 stars move over, elmo.......2007-04-22

I was first introduced to this CD at storytime in the library. The songs are so mellow and refreshing. I also recommend 'catch the moon' by Lisa Loeb and Elizabeth Mitchell. Until we got wiggleworms, this is the only kids/parents CD that I could tolerate. My mother-in-law bought an Elmo CD for my son, and I want to poke something sharp in my eye 2 minutes into listening to it. This CD, however, is so much fun to sing along with and easy to play over and over again. Thanks, wiggleworms!

5 out of 5 stars A very good substitute for the class.......2005-07-09

My son and I attended Wiggleworms from when he was 6 months to 1 year old. These songs by the Old Town teachers are terrific for kids - my son who is now 18 months loves the energy and folkiness of these songs! It's almost as if we were still there in Old Town enjoying Lisa D. live. This is a must have CD - especially for the Old Town fun twist on Itsy Bitsy Spider and Old MacDonald. Music is now one of the only things that will calm my toddler during one of the infamous toddler meltdowns - in other words this is highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars great for any age!.......2005-01-02

we have a 7 week old and we found out it's not too early to start singing these songs to him. my husband and i have a blast listening and singing along. we like the fact that they have a couple of different versions in spanish and french on the cd! we wish there was more for the little wiggleworms!

5 out of 5 stars THE BEST!.......2004-10-26

We saw the other reviews, and thought it could be pretty good. we were wrong, IT'S GREAT. We listen to it with our 2 year old everyday. He's learned a lot of the words in the songs and created his own dances to some. The music is not overly syrupy like a lot of music for toddlers. We love the acoustic guitars.We just ahve one question- when are they going to make another one???!!!???

5 out of 5 stars Most Tolerable Kid's CD Available.......2003-11-22

An instant hit for both the parents and the child in our household. I'll be giving this to all my friends for Christmas. The songs actually make me want to participate in song with my child. Good for the inner child!

I have never really enjoyed listening to "Jewish" music until this recording! What a fun romp through the holidays, simply the best sounding and most playable music I've heard in years. These people can really play, and the lyrics are easy and memorable. But it is the catchy tunes I find myself humming, and my kids always want to hear Sing Shalom, all the year through! I highly recommend this CD, especially for interfaith or sorta-faith families. Makes us want more from the Allards!

5 out of 5 stars Do Your Self a Favor.......2006-07-18

Imagine yourself in the car with your screaming kids -- it's a long drive -- and suddenly you pop in a CD that grabs everyone's attention...dad behind the wheel says "Whoa -- what's this?"
Meanwhile, the kids in the back seat stop harrassing each other as the soulful voice and choruses of Rebecca Frezza and her band command everyone's attention. Simply put, this album rocks -- this is Pearl Jam meets Crowded House meets Lisa Loeb for kids. Forget the Wiggles and Laurie Berkner, you and your kids will find yourself playing this CD again and again. Frezza finds and defines an underserved market -- kids too old for corny sounding blah blah nursery ryhme sounding retreads and comes up with something rocky, poppy and fun. The songs are tight, smart and fun. Her band rocks! This is a total mood changer!! There's no shame here when parents find an excuse to play this album again. We first heard about Rebecca on XM Satellite and we are now the happy owners of both Road Trip and Music in My Heart. We then caught her on Jack's Big Music House on Noggin. And now there's her new CD, Tall and Small, which we picked up at a local gig here in New Jersey. Frezza is the next "Big Thing" in kids rock -- she is an undiscovered talent that is worth getting to know now.

Great CD. Kid's music that deserves a Grammy. My kids love it and I love playing it for them. Great sound and lyrics for children and parents of all ages.

5 out of 5 stars A Road Trip well worth taking.......2003-11-24

On her latest CD, "Road Trip," Rebecca Frezza and her band, Big Truck, continue to accomplish their goal of creating children's music that adults can also enjoy. From a musical center of acoustic rock her style is colored by jazz ("B3"), gospel ("Rock My Baby"), soul ("Dance With Me") folk and country. I heard the influences of a variety of artists from the B52s, to the Doobie Brothers to Earth Wind and Fire to name just a few. Frezza's voice is clear, strong and expressive and she makes great use of harmonies from her talented back up singers throughout the CD. She wisely broadens her authors' pallet by sharing the writing credits with guitarist Elisa Verano and producer Chris Putnam. Among my favorite tracks are the rocking "Babysitter," the silly "Space Dog" and the sweet and pretty "Movie In My Pillow." The instrumentation on this CD strikes just the right balance of adding interesting touches here and there (saxophone, strings, and very sparingly, kids chorus) without ever getting in the way of keeping the songs front and center.
This is one to add to your shopping cart. The high quality and diversity will keep the parents interested and the fun songs will keep the kids asking to play it again.

    5 out of 5 stars Great compilation.......2007-02-07

    I though I owned all the Halloween music to be found. But this one has some new ones and old ones done differently. I highly recommend it.

    2 out of 5 stars Good memories spoilt.......2006-12-27

    The title of the CD is "Scary" but don't be fooled. The only thing frightening is that someone might be suckered by the reputation of the conductor and some fond childhood memories into spending good money for this crud.

    While there are a couple of admirable tributes to classic horror theme songs, the cheesy vocals on Addams Family, Ghostbusters, Monster Mash, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, Beware of the Blob and Thriller relegate this disc to the trash bin.

    Instead of this, I'd recommend Nosferatu (James Bernard), Chiller (Cincinnati Pops), Fantastic Journey (Cincinnati Pops, also - more SciFi than horror, though) and Classics From the Crypt (RCA Victor). All available here.

    All I can say is wow- kitschy and delightful in a way. Though the "Thriller" is disturbing. But how can you deny the "Killer Tomatoes"? I mean, how can you??
