More Playgroup Favorites piles on a second batch of predictable songs--nothing you won't find on any preschool compilation--the main difference being that they're sandwiched between a solid five tracks of Mommy & Me-specific songs. "Shake My Hand (Hello Song)" and "Take My Hand (Goodbye Song)," call to mind snuggly together time for moms and tots across the country, and this CD capitalizes on their lovey-dovey devotion to the weekly groups that make interacting (goofing around on the floor and clapping out simple rhythms together) mandatory. Nothing wrong with that--some parents will even salute themselves for extending the enriching environment to their living room rugs. But this kind of fun, can grow formulaic fast, despite the performers' best stabs at loopiness. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

Awful!.......2007-03-19

The writers have taken classic songs and added really poor quality lyrics:
Ride ride ride your bike
Down the busy street
Isn't it surprising
All the kangaroos you meet

Awful!

The song segments are terribly edited: the moms' mouths don't sync with the soundtrack at all. The cartoon segments are cheesy and poorly animated. The belching kangaroo only adds to the nausea I get when my wife plays this video.

To be fair, my daughter really enjoys it. But she also enjoys Sesame Street and Disney stuff. Don't waste your time.

Great CD!.......2006-03-24

My son has this one and the Playgroup Favorites, and he loves both (and has since he was an infant). The songs are catchy and not too annoying for the grown-ups. Really keeps him entertained! Highly recommend buying.

FANTASTIC CD!.......2004-02-21

My daughter, Emily and I are having the BEST time in the car since we've been listening to "Mommy and Me, More Playgroup Favorites." Now when we get in the car, Emily immediately yells out: "MOMMY ME!" which means, crank up the tunes mom! Once the CD starts playing, Emily recites all the words to the songs, which I was very surprised to hear. The original songs like "Mommy & Me," "Shake My Hand," and "Take My Hand," written by Marty Panzer, are quickly becoming cherished favorites in our family. Panzer has also written fresh new lyrics to classics like, "If You're Happy And You Know It," " Head Shoulders Knees and Toes," and "Row Row Row Your Boat," among others. It's shocking that this wonderful CD has replaced the Wiggles as my daughter's new favorite obsession! Even my husband hums the tunes to himself when we get in the car for a family outing. Thank you for bringing such wonderful music into our lives!

Stephanie Berk, mom of Emily, 21 months

Another wonderful album for bonding with young ones!.......2004-02-20

More Playgroup Favorites is another great album to play while spending bonding time with your baby and young ones! Check out the first album- Playgroup Favorites, too! Both feature sophisticated and modern arrangements of classic childhood tunes, produced by an award-winning team, including jazz versions of well-known favorites. Both CDs are PERFECT for playgroups, playdates, parties, and at-home fun. Not only is the music sensational, but parents cherish the time they spend with their young children, and they welcome tools like these CDs to help them make the most of the experience.

Album Description

Excellent two CD compilation from Paul Weller's post-Jam project, The Style Council. With keyboardist Mick Talbot at his side (later joined by Steve White on drums and D.C. Lee on vocals), TSC were a mixture of Soul, Pop, Jazz and any other styles of music that struck Weller's fancy. Although not as successful as the Jam or Paul Weller's solo career, TSC were an unpredictable band capable of absolute greatness, as this 35 track collection proves. Featuring singles, B-sides, album tracks and more, Sweet Loving Ways is an excellent introduction to this '80s band. Includes 'Speak Like A Child', 'My Ever Changing Moods', 'Shout To The Top', 'You're The Best Thing' and many more. Spectrum.

Decline and Fall.......2007-06-24

Style Councils' worst crime among many, is that they've stained the memory of the mighty Jam.
Weller was a god to me. I spent a large part of my teens following him and his co-Jammers around the country. Spending a fortune, days off college, followed by days off work, sleeping on floors, in bus depots, train stations, with itinerants under flyovers, anywhere a Fred Perry wearing suede-head could squeeze in, there you'd find me.
Worth it? You betcha! Every delirious second of it.
Good live band, great albums band, brilliant singles band! If all Weller had in his back catalogue was `Funeral Pyre' he'd still deserve his place in rock history.
I was distraught when they split, but it was tinged with the vicious reality that it probably WAS all over. `Beat Surrender' was a poor single, and the last thing I wanted was for Weller to go on infinitum on a creative downward spiral.
So I waited eagerly for his re-emergence. Talk of `soul' set the alarm bells ringing. It always does, but in this instance, much more so. I wanted (needed!?) top quality punk/pop in my life, not some watered down hash of Tamla, not from Weller.
Imagine my joy then, when I heard `Speak Like a Child'. Wow! Talk about unfounded fears melting away. Straight for the jugular, no messing, BELIEVABLE pop music. I wiped the beads from my brow, everything was going to be alright.
Next up `Money Go Round' and `Long Hot Summer'. Both dreadful. What!? The old fears returned. This couldn't be! It wasn't happening. Oh, it's a blip, just you wait, he'll be back in a jiff with more of that good-music-thing. Just wait.
`Solid Bond in Your Heart' and `Ever Changing Moods' arrived, worse than the two before. `Bond' in particular, is a disgrace.
`Respond' appeared about now. Ah yes, this is what we've been waiting for. This is it now.
Uniformly atrocious. That appalling compilation reared its limp and weary head and I knew it was all over.
Style Council singles came and went, each generating less interest than the one before, each one more dire than the last.
I mourned openly. Nothing could console me. Even the astonishing 'Speak Like a Child' sounded jaded for a while. The sense of betrayal was tangible, I turned to U2 and New Order for solace. Now here were groups I could trust, these wouldn't outstay their welcome, wouldn't become bland and irritating, wouldn't embarrass me for decades!(!)
Weller, and the extremely boring Mick Talbot, (keyboards, vocals and utter tedium.) stoics to a man, blundered on, oblivious to the folly. A nadir of sorts was reached with the indescribably dismal `Have You Ever Had it Blue', a song which snoozed its way into the lower reaches of the hit parade before disappearing into deserved oblivion.
Artistically and creatively, Weller went with it, without so much as a whimper. Not a sharp, angry vocal or fiery Rickenbacker storm as a forlorn protest.
His solo work put the stake in, laid the corpse to final rest. It was a mercy killing.
It was a while before I could listen to those ace Jam albums again. It felt strange knowing all this joke stuff was out there in the world, tainting a once proud, valuable part of my youth.
The greatest rock truth is that you can't be a Jam AND Style Council fan. It's impossible. Play `Shout to the Top' next to `Tube Station' if you don't believe me. `Café Bleu' next to `Sound Affects' and face the harsh reality.
I'm over it now, of course, I can quite happily play MY Weller music. Music from a time when he was strident, electrifying and (apart from Strummer maybe) unequalled.
Thank you Mr. Weller for 77 to 82. As for the rest, you can stick it.

Loving Ways.......2005-12-11

EXCELLENT...If you have a loving playful romantic spirit and enjoy upbeat music, this CD is for you. I bought the cassette version many years ago, when I met Joanne Shenandoah at one of her Foxwoods Resort concerts. Since then I nearly wore out the cassette and have purchased the CD. Paul and Joanne are great together on their duets.

Excellent.......2005-10-20

This is a wonderful CD and provides great insight to Native American music and culture. I really liked the acoustic guitar, the duets and the lyrics. It is well worth listening to. Buy this CD if you are interesting in listening to and learning more about the Native American culture through song. Wonderful rhythms and beats to the music as well.

Great mix of pleasures.......2005-08-28

This is my favorite Joanne Shenandoah recording! The mix of modern and traditional tunes and rythums is great. The duets are lovely, but the singles by each artist are outstanding. Happy lisening!!

Another Wonderful CD from Shenandoah w/Ortega!.......2001-12-29

Joanne Shenandoah's haunting vocals mixed with poetic lyrics make for a wonderful listening experience! Mr. Ortega adds a whimsical sound in some songs, and together they are marvelous! If you would like to support Native American Music, and be educated and soothed while listening, then I highly recommend this production! Thanks, Joanne and Paul!

The BC's rock the Monk.......2006-02-19

Brilliant Coroners are just that- Brilliant at interpreting the music of Thelonious Monk through all musical genres- experimental jazz, Sabbath Metal, Speed Punk, 70's Funk, etc. Bebop Johnny has assembled a crew of top-flight musicians on this CD, including the final recording of the eloquent Rob Garcia with the BCs. Jody Espina plays brilliant alto, Ed Littman jams anything and everything he touches, Tom Shad holds down the fort, and Andy Pritikin adds flavorful keys. A stellar effort overall, and GREAT listening for the musical novice or the jazz snob- highly recommended.
