Great Children's CD.......2007-07-12
I grew up listening to these songs on an old record that my parents had. We lost the record and I searched for these songs for my new little baby girl. I am so happy that I found it on Amazon and that my baby girl gets to grow up with the same classics that I did when I was a kid. The CD is wonderful and the price was even better.
Aww the good old times!.......2007-06-18
I grew up with this music!! My dad bought the records when I was little, YES records! Im 25yrs old so this was the late the 80's when he purchased it. Now I have the opportunity to introduce this to my children! I'm so glad they are continuing to sell this music because I loved it as a child. I still remember taking the records out and asking my parents to play it.
Walt Disney CD: Characters Do Not Sing.......2007-06-06
I'm a little disappointed. I purchased this CD thinking The Disney Characters would be singing the songs. My son was all excited when I showed him the CD and asked me to play it. When he heard it he said "this is not Mickey Mouse". He was very sad. The songs on this CD are sung by children. The CD is ok.
Garbage.......2007-05-13
Really very boring and campy - I can't bear to listen and wish I could return it. In fact all of the Disney Lullabuys and children's songs were downright horrible. Stick with Baby Einstein, Rock a Bye Baby and Just for Kids - Curious George is great too
Yeah!.......2007-03-04
Much better than all of those other randon baby CD's where all of the songs sound exactly the same and sound like they are sung by chipmunks!!

Things don't get much schmaltzier than a Dobro played Hawaiian style, which is why it's fitting that Cowboy Jack Clement offers one up on "The Blue Side of Lonesome," Leon Payne's dated but charming classic--only one such excursion into blue-haired reminiscing on an album of over-the-top sentimentality. It was the legendary Clement who paired smart-ass folkie Prine and bluegrass totem Wiseman, but the singers themselves chose the repertoire, which reads like songs people of a certain age might pick on a dry drunk. The tunes range, believe it or not, from religious hymns to covers of Patti Page's 1957 hit "Old Cape Cod," Kris Kristofferson's underrated "Just the Other Side of Nowhere," and Tom T. Hall's "Old Dogs, Children, and Watermelon Wine," with a little Elvis and Ernest Tubb thrown in for good measure. It's fitting that Prine and Wiseman revisit the Hall standard, since oddly, both singers vocally favor the Nashville storyteller from time to time. But one has to question their use of the Grand Ole Opry's Carol Lee Singers, who show up on several cuts and seem, well, just bizarre on a John Prine record, even as they evoke the lushly famous Nashville Sound of the 1960s. Suffice it to say, this is a quirky project, and if Prine's scratchy baritone and Wiseman's melodic tenor sometimes overlap to where you can't tell who's singing what, it doesn't much matter. You're listening to two new pals having what seems to be the time of their life. --Alanna Nash
Customer Reviews:
Disappointed Prine Fan.......2007-08-03
I have just about every other thing John Prine has recorded and thought I needed this album too. Wrong. There's not an interesting song here so don't waste your money.
Prine and twang.............2007-07-03
I first caught the wind of the country & western direction in John Prine when I heard his earlier CD "In Spite of Ourselves." The Nashville influence has laid a noticable twang on his voice to the extent that the vocals are sometimes hardly recognizable as Mr. Prine. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, on my first listening, I also thought immediately of Tom T. Hall. For long time followers more accustomed to John's rebellious angles (and the wry title, at least, is pure Prine) this CD might be quite a shock. But I accept it as simply the mark of a mature artist stretching himself artistically, not "selling out" for the sake of sales to a mellower audience. My apologies for not commenting more about Mac, I am less familiar with his work but I assume that stylistically this is more in his comfort zone. His vocals bond nicely with John's and this is definitely equality in a duet. A nice relaxing work, accept it for what it is, not what you expect of John Prine.
I guess I'm an "average people.".......2007-06-27
I heard John Prine and Mac Wiseman on NPR one afternoon
and fell in love. Their song choices are wonderful.
A Disappointment ...and so sorry to say it.......2007-06-26
This was such a disappointment. I had looked forward to this for months, having admired Mac Wiseman for over fifty years, and Prine for thirty or so. But this just doesn't work.
The songs are such classics that each singer could do them well while singing by himslef. But there are just no strong emotional tugs from these "collaborations." Mac has done some great work singing with other bluegrass singers, and Prine has been terrific in his work with women singers ... but these two great men never seem to feed off one another. The feel suggests that these guys were not even singing together. I'll lay this away and go back to the many songs that I have by each that are so terrific.
John Prine Love.......2007-06-14
I don't think there is anything John Prine could do to diminish the love we feel for his music in our family. We think he might be America's poet, or one of them anyway. This CD is sweet and lovely and seems like two great guys sitting down playing and singing some nice tunes together and we all get to listen or sing along. "Standard songs for average people..." - the title says it all. Just a sweet ole time with John Prine and, in this case, with Mr. Wiseman, too. I gave this to my husband for our anniversary, along with the recently released John Prine DVD, and we are always just so grateful for great artists and John Prine is surely one.

In 1976 a young Toronto musician released a fun and lively record called Singable Songs for the Very Young. The artist was a fellow called Raffi, and in the liner notes he wrote at the time that "there are very few good children's records." True as that was in the '70s, Singable Songs became the No. 1 bestseller in its field and set the standard for today's greater volume of high-quality material. The Singable Songs Collection reissues the classic Singable Songs for the Very Young and its superlative successors, More Singable Songs and Corner Grocery Store, as a set. Raffi's exhilarating acoustic musicality and sense of humor shine brightly through. Single-digit-age kids and their parents will get a kick out of these silly, educational, and joyful songs, which range in subject matter and tone from shared peanut-butter sandwiches and instrumental ragtime to standards like "Goodnight, Irene." --Paige La Grone

Raffi - Singable Songs Collection.......2007-07-08
I have had these songs in my collection for years. I raised my children singing them and now I am beginning to share them with my granddaughter. Many a road trip or even a short ride to the grocery store has been made more enjoyable by these catchy little tunes. Thank you, again for having Raffi's collection available on Amazon.
Singing all the way.......2007-06-02
My three year old and her 1 1/2 year old brother love this collection. With three CD's we have one in the car, one in her room and one in the family room. The songs are memorable and fun. Both kids are starting to sing along even when we aren't listening to the CD's.

Though recorded in the 1970s, this classic Raffi album is still one of the children's troubadour's bestsellers. The gentle, joyful style; simple musical arrangements; and easy-to-follow up-front vocals have made Singable Songs for the Very Young a favorite among tiny tots, parents, and preschool teachers. By combining traditional songs like "The More We Get Together," "Down by the Bay," and "Going to the Zoo" with Raffi originals like "I Wonder If I'm Growing," "Peanut Butter Sandwich," and a jazzy near-cover, "Old MacDonald Had a Band," the album has a familiar feel while giving young children the opportunity to learn new songs and rhythms. Other notable titles include the interactive "Brush Your Teeth," "Five Little Pumpkins," and the tongue-twisting "Willoughby Wallaby Woo." --Deborah Moore

Love it.......2007-07-17
My 6 month old daughter really likes this CD. She will stop crying and listen when I put it on.
For a new generation.......2007-07-04
I bought this CD for my grandchildren to listen to. Our family, including their father, always listened to the original on long trips. My grandchildren love most of the songs too. My 6 year old grandson finds some songs "boring" but mostly they love it, just like their father did.
Fun songs to sing a long with baby!.......2007-05-03
My son really loves this. And I have to admit, it's infectious! I sing them to him at other times, too. For example, when it's time to brush his teeth, I sing that song. He smiles and opens his mouth wide to brush his teeth. If he gets fussy in the car, I know I can pop this in and he will settle immediately. I catch him smiling to himself, too.
High nostalgia level!.......2007-04-02
I have had Raffi music in my home for the last 30 years - my own 5 children have enjoyed his music and I have purchased Raffi CD's for all of my grandchildren as well. Raffi's simple yet interesting melodies and warm voice are like a cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter's day - comforting and delicious! Listening it to transports me to a time when my children were playing together and in the background was Raffi music and all was well in the world. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Here are some more Raffi titles, all recommended:Baby Beluga,Down By the Bay,[[ASIN:B0000003IO The Singable Songs Collection,Wheels on the Bus, (Raffi Songs to Read).

Don McLean at his best.......2007-07-13
This is a beautiful CD, easy listening, I think one of my very favorites is " And I Love You So ", of course "Vincent" is McLean's masterpiece.
Crossroads, is beautiful.
Empty Chairs is a beautiful song with great guitar.
Don McLean is one of my all time favorites, and ranks high on my list.
I am going to purchase more of this CD for Christmas gifts.

5-Starry Starry CD.......2007-07-04
This CD will forever be one of the favorites in my whole collection! Partly because it has so dang many truly great songs, but also because each song is so dang well re-mastered! I have a high end music system that can deliver most of the beautiful harmonic nuances that you'd hear if you sat inside the artist's studio during the recording. That only happens IF those nuances are recorded onto the CD, and such is the case with Legendary Songs of Don McLean.
This CD is a fabulous showcase of multi-faceted talent. In the first place, Don McLean must be considered one of the era's most eloquent songwriters. His lyrics are great poems by themselves...intelligent and very elegant expressions of the romanticism of the story he's telling. Secondly, his melodies are perfect complements to the words. "Vincent", (Starry Starry Night, to some) is a superb, classic example of what I'm saying here. Spectacular! It brought tears to my eyes. I'm a former boxer, Harley rider, and three-time-wounded combat infantryman...so tears don't come easy for me.
And then there's McLean's voice quality. Incredible smoothness, pitch, range, and appropriate emotion for each song! To me, his voice mimics a fine cello or clarinet in the hands of a master. Roy Orbison is known as "The Voice" -very well deserved- but McLean's version of Orbison's "Crying" certainly is on a perfect par...no easy feat! "Since I Don't Have You" is another song that exemplifies Don McLean's amazing (Legendary) voice quality. It's so beautiful that you can't help but sing along...but try to hit all of the high notes and you'll end up needing to call the doctor to repair your vocal chords.
Legendary Songs of Don McLean is one of the best collections of melodies you can buy, but you'll also get some great rhythm/rock songs like "Dreidel" and "Headroom", and even some smokey jazz in "If I Only Had a Match". And there's some bop and doo-wop too! Hear this CD and feel like you've strolled through the 40's, 50's, 60's...right up to the present decade...and McLean is somehow able to stitch those styles and eras seamlessly!
Finally, let me say that one of my very penny-pinching friends heard this CD when I got it, and he left with an insatiable itch to buy his own copy...Scrooge McDuck sprinting away to the store! This CD really is a Must Have!
A most intelligent song- writer and beautiful singer .......2007-06-13
Don MacLean is one of the most intelligent of all singer- song- writers. One of his greatest hits, 'Vincent' shows real understanding of the work and person of Van Gogh. Two of his other songs 'And I Love you so' and 'American Pie' have also I believe entered the category of 'classics'.
This is popular music at its best.
Legendary Songs of Don McLean.......2007-05-12
I wasn't sure what I would be getting for the price (extremely reasonable!!) but I was very pleased with the CD when it arrived. It's a wonderful mix of his classics and some new songs that reflect Mr. McLean's poetic talent. I highly recommend this CD to Don McLean fans.
The Best Compilation Currently Available.......2006-07-12
Contains 21 original hit recordings nicely remastered. One note: the song Castles In The Air was a hit twice, the original 1970 recording from his first album was a hit in 1972 as the b-side of Vincent; and a different re-recorded version was a hit in 1981. The version included here is the re-make from 1981.

great CD.......2006-02-08
My kids love to listen to this CD, and I love it because the songs are well known spanish songs that I grew up with! We all enjoy to sing along. Well done!
Excellent Way to Teach and Learn Spanish by Singing!.......2005-10-25
I highly recommend Jose-Luis Orozco's songs and books. They are an excellent and fun way to teach and learn Spanish by singing. I bought them for my children and it has helped them learn the Spanish language. Music is an excellent way to learn the language. The songs and music are very entertaining!
My Little Niece Loves It!.......2005-09-11
I love this CD. I've actually loved Jose Luis-Orozco ever since I was in college taking my teaching courses. He was commonly used to aid in our teaching lessons. The songs are very lyrical and are very catchy to dance to.
I bought it mainly for my little niece who is multi-racial and I thought it would be nice for her to connect to her Centro-American side. A lot of these songs have been shared or are known by my parents and grandparents. They grew up with these songs and I thought it would be nice for my niece to group up listening to them too.
This CD and many other Jose Luis-Orozco are currently used at a college summer program for adolescents between 1st grade-4th grade in Northridge. The students don't speak Spanish but when his songs are played they begin to sing them and learn a little Spanish along the way. The best song on this CD is "Buenos Dias" or (Good Morning) in English. The next best song is "Los Pollitos" or (the chicks). There's also a version of Old Mcdonald Had a Farm which, is called "La Granja."
My little niece enjoys this CD very much and she dances to it. We all gather around her and sing the lyrics and she couldn't be happier. I recommend this CD as well as any other Jose Luis-Orozco CD's because his background music is soft toned with only a guitar to guide the music. I love that! We had bought her another CD which, was livened up with ridiculous mambo background music, too overwhelming! Jose Luis-Orozco is the way to go.
Really nice collection of songs.......2005-07-04
We are trying to raise our daughter bilingual and really like to use music as a fun way to use both languages. This disc has really nice songs that even a young child will like to sing. The arrangements are nice enough that it won't drive an adult crazy to listen to it!
excellent way to learn Spanish.......2004-12-31
This CD is fun and a great way to learn Spanish. My daughter sings the songs all the time. I love them, too.

Great Songs, Great Memories.......2007-07-31
This is a great collection just for the songs themselves. Even better, the whole song is included, not just a verse or maybe two. And the lyrics are clear, important for aging memories. I look forward to sharing the whole set with my grandchildren.
Great fun!.......2007-07-18
My daughter (11) and nephews (8, 1) all love this CD. The older kids have fun singing & dancing with the baby, and the baby loves to listen to the CD by himself as well.
Great songs!.......2007-02-11
My kids love these volumes of Children's Favorite Songs, as do I. The arrangements and voicings are child friendly without being dull.
Chirldren's Favorite Songs Vol 4 Walt Disney.......2007-01-11
Great songs on this CD. Nice variety, wonderful singers. My grandchildren want it on in the car every time we go out. Lots of old favorites that I like too.
Great songs, but this collection has many country-style songs.......2006-12-02
This CD is tolerable. We own Volume 1 and love it. I bought this one specifically for one of the songs it contains.
My son loves it, but a note to parents - this CD has a country music feel to it.

Original masterpiece enhanced.......2007-05-16
Cohen's timeless debut has been enhanced by the addition of 2 extra tracks. The lilting poetry of Suzanne lures the listener into his world of romantic despair while introducing the essence of his sound: a deep monotone framed by sublime female backing vocals over simple but engaging melodies.
Master Song, Winter Lady and Stranger Song reinforce the desolate landscape although the melodies are less immediate. Cohen's genius shines brightly on the immortal Sisters Of Mercy, a strange mixture of the spiritual and the sensual that must be one of the most beautiful musical poems in the English language.
This delicate gem is followed by the powerful and evocative So Long Marianne and the understated Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye, both masterpieces of words, melody and arrangement - the female vocals on Goodbye is especially impressive.
Stories of the Street appears as a poem in one of Cohen's 1960s poetry books: Selected Poems 1956-1968 and deals with a visit to Havana during of just after the revolution. Interesting fact: The line "some girls wander by mistake" from Teachers was later used as an album title by the goth band Sisters Of Mercy: Some Girls Wander By Mistake
One Us Cannot Be Wrong addresses the beloved in a series of strange images before moving on to melodic whistling and ending with bitter shouted la la lahs. For those interested in other artists' take on Cohen: Suzanne has been beautifully covered by inter alia Judy Collins Sings Leonard Cohen: Democracy and Geoffrey Oryema: I'm Your Fan, while Sting and the Chieftains' celtic version of Sisters Of Mercy is available on the Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen tribute album.
On the I'm Your Fan tribute there are interesting interpretations of Hey That's No Way To Say Goodbye by Ian McCulloch, Stories Of The Street by That Petrol Emotion and So Long Marianne by James.
This reissue booklet includes liner notes by Anthony DeCurtis, three black & white photographs of LC and two full-color paintings by the artist. Both extra tracks were originally produced by John Hammond and for reissue by Bruce Dickinson. The second, Blessed Is The Memory, is the more immediately appealing with its lovely organ flourishes.

Fun Sing-Along CD for everyone!.......2007-07-13
This compilation of children's sing-along songs is well put together. The male voice who sings these is sprite and chipper. Much better than a group of off-key kids singing children's songs! I thoroughly enjoy listening to this and singing them with my kids.
Wonderful product.......2007-05-20
My baby loves this music CD. It was very nicely made and produced.
Great CD.......2006-01-07
I have all four volumes and think they're all good, but volume 1 is the best.
Great Traditional Music.......2005-08-18
I had the Disney Songtape edition of this album when I was a kid. I have always love the Disneyland Children's Sing-Along Chorus on this album. I also had volumes 1 and 2 on record. When i got older i realized that Larry Groce was the lead singer. He had a hit in the 70's called Junk Food Junkie on the Dr. Demento show. I reciently bought all 4 volumes on CD. I like to listen to them while I work. He also did the Disneyland Little Golden Books Read-Alongs. That is Where "Why Do The Make Things Like They Do" comes from and "Thumbelina" On Volume 2. I wish the re-issued the series with the the Original Record Cover Pictures. They had the Disney Characters acting out the songs.
This is great for Disney fans because it gets away from the common Mickey Mouse songs. I love them at 23 years old.
Not the best for sing along.......2005-01-08
This album is not as much fun to sing along to as volume 1. We will probably listen to this album very rarely as I am already looking for another to replace it.
