This soundtrack offers a pretty standard mix of new songs, old chestnuts, and excerpts from the score (here by John Debney). On the new tip, Joss Stone and Patti LaBelle engage in an overheated battle of the divas on CD opener "Stir It Up," a bouncy piece of fluff that sounds more like Aretha Franklin circa "Freeway of Love" than classic soul. Other originals include Barenaked Ladies' "One Little Slip" (this movie's answer to Counting Crows' "Accidentally in Love" from Shrek 2) and the Cheetah Girls' peppy-but-bland cover of "Shake Your Tail Feather." But the real highlights are the songs performed by the movie's vocal cast, which includes Joan Cusack, Garry Marshall, Zach Braff, Steve Zahn, and Amy Sedaris. Their group cover of Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don¹t Go Breaking My Heart," for instance, sounds as if half of them were drunk in the recording studio (and this is meant as a compliment.) Braff's a cappella version of "We Are the Champions" is smashing and Cusack and Zahn's take on the Spice Girls' "Wannabe" is completely demented. The kids will laugh; their parents will laugh even harder for completely different reasons. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

What fun!.......2007-08-05

Great to hear the old and new songs and to remember a really well done animated film.

my little one loves Chicken Little.......2007-04-05

My husband bought the Chicken Little movie for our 3 year old (mostly to get us OFF the Cars movie that we all have memorized) and he fell in love with it! He likes to act out the scenes and loves the music. He loves this CD at night when he's going to bed. We all have to dance to One Little Slip (he knows all the words) and then we have to "shake our tail feathers" before he jumps in bed every night! I enjoy the cd too, so it's good for everyone!

this is a great kids cd!!.......2007-03-24

My daughter absolutely loves this cd. I could not find it anywhere until i looked on amazon, so thank you amazon!!

Great soundtrack for the children, especially if they liked the movie!.......2007-03-14

My son loved the movie Chicken Little, so we decided to purchase this for him to listen to on his discman. He loves the soundtrack as much as the movie, which made it an awesome investment(especially since the soundtrack has many good singers that aren't too hard on the ears for the adult crowdes either). My son was very happy with this item, and so was I.

Her favorite gift..........2006-12-23

I bought the CD to accompany the movie. My four year old watches the movie everyday. When I gave her the CD, after listening to it nightly, she takes it to bed with her everynight where I have to pry it out of her hands after she falls off to sleep. I don't get it, but she does...so it's worth what I paid for it.

Beautiful Music, Graceful and Appealing, Very Well Done.......2005-11-11

This CD is a favorite of mine. Out of all the ~4~ R. Carlos Nakai CD's I have, this one usually gets played the most. I love track# 4 - Savannah Sojourn withits flute melodies and background vocals, and track# 10 - Running Down the Sun. The flute, together with the Banjo was really a nice touch. I recommend the CD sampler Amazon provides to listen to each track. I like this one while driving on my car. The background voices are enchanting and add to the "Feel" of the music. Helps me to unwind and takes me to a wonderful place. You can't go wrong with this CD! ***** 5 Stars **** In my opinion, every track is stand alone excellence!

Easily One of is Best.......2001-02-17

Nakai produces a romantic, healing, while vaguely haunting music that gently transports you back to a time when music was more than just entertainment. Nakai emulates the traditional music of his Navajo-Ute in a way that is both touching and mystic. Be prepared to be taken on a journey where you will be introduced to the feelings an impressions that Nakai himself experiences. He will show you through his music what the world around his means to him, and he will instill that awe of life in you.

Nakai doesn't fall into the trap of giving the musical tourist exactly what he expects. There is no chanting or jingling bells, no corny sound effects or war cries. Instead he simply taps into that inner peace that we all look for. Perhaps that's the reason so many people have come to appreciate his music. The universal understanding of, and need for, peace and insight.

held the whole theatre spellbound -so intense.......2007-01-27

Bought this CD after seeing him as a support act he just held the whole audience totally spellbound- I havent seen anyone with that kind of emotional intensity plus fantastic songwriting in a long time

Coma and drone..........2006-09-07

Huge up-surge lately in the so called 'singer songwriter', unleashing wave after wave of horrible trite acoustic guitar wielding wannabes off of MySpace and into your living room. Tom Baxter's offering Feather And Stone, at least has some integrity to it. more folky kind of approach than an attempt at pure pop tune writing, but my God gettin to the end of this album is one dull and painful struggle. There are superb songs here - but sadly, only 3. My declaration, the moon and me, and under the thumb (which almost - ALMOST make buying the album worth while - but not quite) stand alone, welded together with some of the dreariest monotonal slooooooow slothful and dreary songs I have ever heard. It might be your cup of tea, but certainly a cup of tea probably stands more chance of keeping you up than this..

Hare-Chasing Guitar Lines and Suicide Notes.......2006-05-19

While it may be redundant (and thus, pointless) to review this album in the wake of other sensitive male guitar-weilding folkies (James Blunt et al), British singer-songwriter Tom Baxter deserves a nod of acknowledgement - for reinventing the power-ballad. Before you choke on your own vomit at the very thought of that notion (understandable, being a supreme hater of power-ballads myself), let me place emphasis on the fact that Baxter is a singer-songwriter and not a corporate composer of the Diane Warren ilk, who's sentimental power-sap peddled onto the likes of Celine Dion many have come to despise. Baxter, for his part, has taken the grandoise dynamics of that particular genre and proportionalized it into the miniscale level of a subway busker (albeit, a busker with the backing of a full band). The results are rather...charming.

"The Moon and Me" sports a string section buried deep in the mix, flushing through the acoustic arrangements and only gurgling up through the robust thrums of the bass and guitar at the cresendo in the last third of the song. The piano clinks along like the dropping of ice cubes in martini glasses and the lyrical suicide-note escapes the listener.
Elsewhere, as on "Almost There", baxter plays around with his vocal range - a bruised whisper that gives way to an earthquake-splitting wail. It doesn't work completely, as the limitations in his range are revealed, but the sense of desperation in his voice and the urgency with which he inflects it with is certainly captured.
"Don't Let Go" is the album's swan song with violin slashes that stab forth, puncturing the pop-production gloss that tries to contain them. The song in its first half lies dormant, like a dead animal on the forest floor, then arouses from its death-sleep, slowly breathing back passion, rage and a lusty sense of purpose into its lifeless body. The drums pound, the strings murder and Baxter's guitar flits and sprints ahead like a hare out-running a foxhunt. The song dies a brutal, loud and handsome death, its end climaxing to a delirious, crashing halt. Baxter is bled dry and the hare has been caught.

It's easy to over look Baxter these days with the corporate glut of Blunt wannabes saturating the market. But Baxter has the chops to outlive the trend. If you can look past the prejudice that has somewhat been justly aimed at guitar-based songwriters these past three years, you may discover a worthy pupil of the Nick Drake school of music. And besides, I can't think of anyone better than Baxter who could give Diane Warren the a**-kicking she deserves. This album's enough to make Warren eat her fingers off and never doom the world with another sling of Simon Cowell-endorsed mush.

white feathers.......2006-04-27

This album seems to be an exercise in trying to annoy people who like Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake. Or perhaps, a nudging, industry cash-in on people who like Jeff Buckley and Nick Drake. Meandering acoustic folky twiddles like 'The Moon And Me' bump Grace-lessly into sub-Lloyd-Webber showtunes, with surface-skimming lyrical self-analyses like "my smile won't smile and my laugh won't laugh"... You what? Perhaps the album should be called 'God! I am SO sensitive!'

On 'Almost There' Baxter does his best 'Stars In Their Eyes' Buckley impression, imitating tone, vocal cadences, even the chord changes are grabbed from 'Lover, You Should've Come Over'... At this point, it seems kindest to advise Mr. Baxter to put on a white V. neck T.shirt, grow his hair long and start a covers act.

There is no point in this album whatsoever.

This Guy is AWESOME!!.......2005-11-06

Hello

Well this has got be the album of 2004!! without a doubt, brilliantly crafted songs one after another, ranging from beautiful ballads to uplifting rock, Tom Baxter does step rather heavily in to Jeff Buckley territory in both his vocal and on stage performance, which is no bad thing because he manages the stage and this Album with similar gravitas as per the late Mr Buckley. The album is possibly a bit more polished than it should or could have been, however it is still a brilliant listen and is so very highly recommended to fans of coldplay, Travis and Buckley et al. Buy this and you wont be disappointed, look out also for the cd singles as they have some amazing b sides to them, oh and of course if the man is touring near you make sure you catch him live, he's one to watch for 2005-2006 for sure!!
