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

4 out of 5 stars 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.

4 out of 5 stars 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.

3 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

1 out of 5 stars Awfully corny.......2007-06-12

Sorry, love nearly all of JP's output but this is the worst I've ever heard, schmaltzy, corny, cringe-inducing, hurts me to say but it's the way I would see it. Bought it blind on the strength of all John's other stuff and regretted it immediately. If everyone else thinks it's great, maybe I can get my money back on ebay...

From Amazon.co.uk

Hot on the heels of their shock UK No. 1 single "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor", Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not confirms Sheffield's Arctic Monkeys as the UK underground's most proselytizing young preachers of the DIY gospel. Marrying nervy, caffeine-and-cigarettes indie clatter to conversational, pretense-free lyrics and the occasional burst of off-the-cuff eloquence ("No time for Montagues or Capulets/Just banging tunes and DJ sets," proffers "Dancefloor"), it's an instant, pulse-racing hit.

No question, the Monkeys are more sinners than saints. The opening "The View from the Afternoon" predicts a ruckus with a whole lot more grit than the Kaisers can muster, while on the mellow "Riot Van," a tale of underage drinking and cop-baiting culminates in a messy beating in the back of a station wagon. Look beyond the Arctics' bristly, laddish exterior, however, because it's actually affairs of the heart that comprise this album's secret core: see the sweaty-palmed "Dancing Shoes," bearing testament to the trial of nerves that is pulling in a suburban indie nightclub, or "Mardy Bum"--a tribute to a moody girlfriend that, for all its witty barbs ("I've seen your frown and it's like looking down the barrel of a gun"), is tinted with sweet affection. --Louis Pattison

Album Description

Musically, there are bits of The Stone Roses, "What's The Story Morning Glory", and "Nevermind". As catchy as those reference points are, it's the songwriting that has won the band a fiercely dedicated following; a mix of the observational storytelling of Davies and Weller crossed with the harsher documentary eye of Mike Skinner of The Streets and "Ghost Town" era Specials. Two #1 UK singles. Press already lined up with Rolling Stone, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, and Interview, to name a few. Three more US/Canadian tours planned for this year, including headlining Domino's label showcase at SXSW.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars A great fresh sound!.......2007-07-05

They are not that popular in the US yet, but are huge over in Europe. If you listen to 2 of their songs you will be hooked. Its a new kind of sound and a breath of fresh air from a lot of the crap music now-a-days. I would recommend this CD to anyone who like music!

5 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-06-26

This is an excellent catchy CD that rock and rolls pretty well. My favorite tracks are "Red light indicates doors are secure" and "marty bum" Also check out "The Redwalls" first CD "Universal Blues" if you liked this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Catchy.......2007-06-09

If you like big names from the UK, no one's bigger. It doesn't live up to the hype completely, but it's catchy and entertaining. I find myself singing along with it all the time.

4 out of 5 stars Liked it.......2007-06-08

For once, a band that got a lot of hype actually is worthy of the praise.

4 out of 5 stars Cold climbers.......2007-05-18

The Artic Monkeys deliver layered sound that entices the ears. They have a unique sound which is easily recognizable. I look for more of the same from this band in the future.

It's hard to pinpoint the exact moment Modest Mouse started sounding like a real band. For the longest time, singer-songwriter Isaac Brock seemed to exist solely to defy the established rules, forging forward on sheer momentum and ingenuity. Even Pavement looked relatively ordinary in comparison to the band's early releases like 1996's This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About and 1997's The Lonesome Crowded West. But on Good News for People Who Love Bad News, the frontman sounds like he's finally touching the earth, and the band--minus founding member and drummer Jeremiah Green--follows suit. A relaxed mood prevails, not so much in volume but in attitude. On the follow-up to the group's 2000 major label debut, The Moon & Antarctica, big sloppy melodies battle it out with brass on punky epics like "Float On" and "The Ocean Breathes Salty." The lyrics are simpler, the arrangements tamer, but the vitality remains. The prevailing mood is that Modest Mouse has pulled off something extraordinary here: a well-rounded, lovable record that doesn't sound anything like David Gray. --Aidin Vaziri

4 out of 5 stars One hit song does not a sell-out album/band make.......2007-06-20

Yes, "Float On" was a smash hit. Yes, it's pretty poppy. But what about "3rd Planet" and "Gravity Rides Everything" from "The Moon and Antarctica"? To a (possibly much) lesser extent, what about "Heart Cooks Brain" from "TLCW" or "Dramamine" from "This is a Long Drive"? You see, MM have generally had more "mainstream-palatable" songs on their album, and just because this one was a hit, does not mean they sold out.
OK, you've heard that rant before, but not in such an *ahem* eloquent fashion. Now onto the review.
As usual, the hit is by no means the best song on the album. Other songs like "The World At Large", "Ocean Breathes Salty", "Bury Me With It", "Bukowski", "The View", and (ESPECIALLY) "The Good Times are Killing Me" (which, by the way, if you did not know, was remixed and tampered with by one of the best bands of all time, the Flaming Lips) not only give "Float On" a run for its money, they take the money and use it to buy cigars.
I mean, the fact that supposedly hardcore fans are nitpicking this great album because it has freakin' "Float On" on it more points out their own stupidity and narrow-mindedness than it does the band being sell outs.
So, in conclusion, if you want to keep your rather dubious "indie cred", do not buy this album. If you enjoy Modest Mouse as much as anyone should, however, than do.

5 out of 5 stars "You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?".......2007-04-19

I am becoming more and more of a fan of this kind of off-beat, different music. I guess I can't help myself. I liked the single "Float On" when I heard it a few years ago, but again, I didn't pursue the album until later. Good News is interesting because of its contrasting moods. The plucky guitars and catchy harmonies conflict with the cynical lyrics that attack religion and certain kinds of people. The vocals range from pleasant sounds in the background to aggressive, near shouting tirades. The singer isn't all that great at singing, but he's great at using his voice to convey any mood he wants.

"The World At Large" starts off the album about as happy as it gets, with flutes and meaningless vocals in the background. "Bury Me With It" is about as angry as the band gets musically, though not lyrically. That would be "Bukowski", which is completely pleasant musically. "The View" sounds like kind of like dance music. "Satin In a Coffin" uses prominent drums and older sounding instruments to create a very interesting sound. "The Good Times Are Killing Me" finishes off the album while perfectly illustrating the conflict of sound and message, and it's produced by The Flaming Lips, which is cool. Modest Mouse is a unique band, and a good one at that.

5 out of 5 stars I can't believe I heard this on the radio........2007-03-27

The first time "Float On" came across the radio I almost $#!? my pants. I fell in love with Modest Mouse after I heard "Dramamine". Not immediately, but after listening to the "Long Drive" record repeatedly, the band grew on me. And grew. And grew. Now 8 or 9 CD's later they're still growing on me. I'm glad they've found radio success and hope they are able to keep producing new music.

My highlights for this record include Bukowski, Black Cadillacs, and Satin In A Coffin. If you truly love the band and aren't just in it for the image, you'll love this record. The whole album is great. Yes, even Float On.

5 out of 5 stars Even if you're an old school MM fan, listen to it with an open mind.......2007-03-12

This album is the worst Modest Mouse album, in my opinion, but it's still really great. That's the beauty of Modest Mouse.

What I love about Isaac Brock is that his music reveals a lot about who he is and what life has taught him. Good News for People Who Love Bad News is no exception.

The only track I don't like on this album is "Satin in a Coffin". After hearing a live recording, which I love, I can't stand to listen to the one on gnfpwlbn. It lacks passion and intensity.

5 out of 5 stars Yet another masterpiece from Modest Mouse.......2007-01-21

These guys have released so many great albums that the expectations are always incredibly high for their next one. And every time they release one, I listen to it, and I'm a bit disappointed, and I say to myself, "it's good, but it's not as great as the last ones."

Then I listen to it more, and it begins to grow on me, and soon I can't stop listening to it and I'm raving, "This is their greatest album!".

That's what happened to me with this one. Didn't blow me away at first. Now? I am like an addict. As soon as a song ends I need to hear it again immediately. And I can't stop listening to the album, and I don't want to listen to anything else....

I give it huge props, even though they diss my beloved Charles Bukowski.

4 out of 5 stars MacRae and Jones head a superb and O.K. adaptation.......2007-03-16

The film adaptation of Oklahoma heralded a technological breakthrough in widescreen cinema just as the original stage musical ushered in the integrated book musical. As such this film adaptation was treated as a special occasion, well-supervised by the creators themselves. The soundtrack, featured here, boasts sterling performances from MacRae and Jones making the most of their portrayals of Curly and Laurey, backed by a charismatic cast and superb orchestrations. And of course let's not forget the enveloping stereo sound that holds up well even today.

Despite being a Hollywood star, Gordon MacRae performs the part of Curly as if he was born to play it even on the stage. He shines vocally in his renditions of Oh, what a Beautiful Mornin' and Surrey with the Fringe on Top. He is well-partnered by Shirley Jones as a fresh and pert Laurey, lending her beautiful voice to the part. Although we don't hear much of her on this soundtrack, her partnering MacRae in People Will Say We're in Love exudes a masterful chemistry, as if they were setting sparks off at each other in their rendition of the song. Gene Nelson makes a dashing Will Parker and is equally well-matched by Gloria Grahame as Ado Annie. Grahame renders I Cain't Say No splendidly and partners Nelson in All er Nothin'. The supporting cast is filled out by Charlotte Greenwood's suitably caustic Aunt Eller and Rod Steiger's Jud. It's a pity that the film cut the song Lonely Room, otherwise Steiger would have better demonstrated the dark hues of the character of Jud. Yet it all adds up to a wonderful renditionh of this classic musical, enough to elicit a spontaneous YEOW! during this year of the Oklahoma centenary.

This EMI-Angel reissue offers one the advantage of the dance music and the main titles. This means that the listener gets the Kansas City and Farmer and the Cowman dance sequences, as well as the extended Dream Ballet. The only downside is the extraneous sound effects lifted from a DVD copy of the movie. Yes I share many of your sentiments that these sound effects tend to grate, and long for Didier Deutsch to have used the original untainted studio vault versions. However, let's at least be thankful that the CD producers have offered us a more comprehensive version of the Oklahoma soundtrack that we could only have dreamt of in the past.

In short, this is a wonderful and valuable addition to the R&H discography, and is an equally celebrated rendition of the score like the original Broadway cast recording. Warmly recommended to those who seek even their first version of Oklahoma.

5 out of 5 stars Broadway in a movie setting at it's very best!.......2007-03-06

Oklahoma has never sounded better as sung by Gordon MacRae and Shirley Jones in the 1955 movie version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's unforgettable Broadway musical. The memory of MacRae's beautiful voice lives on with this CD. I never tire of hearing this wonderful music. From the opening overture to the finale you will feel as though you're right in the theater.

I gave this cd to my grand daughter, because she loves music. Knew very little about it until I received sincere thanks from my daughter and son inlaw for a great CD

5 out of 5 stars 2 year old's favorite.......2007-06-13

I feel sorry for the child's mother who won't listen to this CD because she doesn't like it.
I took the vow of motherhood before getting pregnant....I will watch Oobie & enjoy it....I will play in mud puddles & enjoy it....you get the idea
Is this CD a replacement for my adult music? Ugh, no.
Does my 2 yr old son say "school bus song!!" excitedly every time we head for the car? Yes.....
My kids LOVE this CD. They relate to the silly, (& as complained about) sometimes off key singing. They also love the true toddler voices that are mushy sounding just like their own newly developing vocabulary.
My son listens so intently that he could recite all the songs in the first week. Adorable.

If you're looking for a best of toddler faves, this is the best I can find. Even though the singing leaves a lot to be desired (sounds like an old granny singing the lyrics, albeit a vibrant one). Most of time, true to the original compositions and some well-known rhymes included. We are pleased.

5 out of 5 stars Lovely songs.......2007-05-22

My grandchildren love these songs and I can't help but sing along. They are great for long road trips.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful product.......2007-05-20

My baby loves this music CD. It was very nicely made and produced.

Van Morrison calls James Hunter "the best voice and best-kept secret in British R&B and soul." And the Colchester native and former busker does, indeed, sound like a one-man blue-eyed revival on his U.S. debut, People Gonna Talk. He navigates 14 self-penned ska (the title track), soul-blues ("Kick It Around"), and primal funk ("No Smoke Without Fire") tunes with panache. Hunter's voice unerringly carves out graceful melodies and soars into falsetto at whim over his horn-sparked band as he digs through his vast bag of traditional, stinging blues'n'soul licks on electric guitar. But... there's something missing. Although the disc was cut live in the studio, it lacks the vibrant energy of his stage performances. And Hunter borrows so extensively from his influences that he sounds like he's covering Bobby Bland, Howard Tate, James Brown, and the Studio One roster rather than traveling his own path. Nevertheless, as Morrison intimates, Hunter's estimable singing and playing will please fans of classic R&B and soul. --Ted Drozdowski

Album Description

"2006 Grammy Nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album of the Year"

"James is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R & B and soul. Check him out." -Van Morrison

On his U.S. debut, James Hunter proves to be a man of impeccable taste who has learned from his influences rather than simply imitating them. 'People Gonna Talk' features 14 original tracks written and arranged by Hunter, who partnered with producer Liam Watson to create a wonderfully rich, classic soul sound. The album was recorded at Watson's Toe Rag Studios in East London (also home to The White Stripes' 'Elephant'), where vintage analog equipment captured the warmth of Hunter's authentic and heartfelt sensibilities.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you fellow reviewers.......2007-07-10

This is all as promised and more. One of the best SOUL releases I have ever heard. What a voice and what a songwriter. If there is a better singer / songwriter in the genre, I have not heard him. This spans age and gender gaps in one single bound. No qualifiers necessary. If you like music, buy it. Irrespective of the genre you'r into, this will get your toe's tapping and if you have a spouse, hers will be tapping right along.
One of my best recent purchases !!!!!

5 out of 5 stars MONO MANIAC.......2007-06-05

It's rare to find a new CD where both the music and the recording set the standard for quality. James Hunter's music speaks for itself, but I doubt MP3 downloaders will be able to fully appreciate how good the sound quality is. This recording has a retro feel but with rich tone, vibrant dynamics, and the presence of a live event. This is a tribute to the vintage analog recording techniques used at Toe Rag Studios in London. However, I haven't heard anyone mention that the recording is Monaural, rather than the usual Stereo. When these Brits go retro, they really do it right. This is the kind of recording that makes me glad to have high end audio gear. People Gonna Talk is highly recommended for both audiophiles and music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Reincarnation Rhythm and Blues.......2007-05-13

The ghosts of Chicago Blues men and Sam Cooke float like mylar balloons listening to the reborn sounds emitting from James Hunter's voice and guitar. He invokes his muses to bring forth joy and verve in song after song. The sparseness of his guitar licks makes you crave more. Never into long extended solos he lets his sidemen take center stage. I am looking forward to a live recording. For now this CD is plenty good.

4 out of 5 stars Cooke-ing with Soul.......2007-04-24

British singer-songwriter James Hunter has been stylistically compared to everyone from James Brown to Bobby Bland, but he also must have been listening to a lot of Sam Cooke records. In terms of his song structure and his laconic brand of soul, he sounds to me like he's channeling Cooke. Hunter's guitar and vocals set the tone, and he is capably backed by a small group of two saxophonists, a drummer and a bassist. He moves with an unassuming ease through all fourteen of these original tunes, which touch on the blues and ska as well as R&B. And once in a while he'll get energetic, picking up the pace and punctuating the song with a soulful yell. There's a real retro feel to these mellow performances, and while it remains to be seen how long Hunter can remain popular with this variety of blue-eyed soul, it's an impressive U.S. debut that is definitely worth your attention. (P.S.: Hunter is also a fairly talented cartoonist - check out his clever and amusing illustrations in the CD booklet.)

2 out of 5 stars Sam Cooke and Ray Charles he isn't...........2007-02-07

I heard so much about this guy - I had to give him a try. What a disappointment. He basically sings every song the same (retro maybe) but all basically the same. If you want to listen to Sam or Ray - listen to them - they are the "real deal" - give this guy the kick out the door - next stop - fakesville!

1 out of 5 stars UGH! I can't stand it!!.......2007-05-17

I was looking for a cd of children's songs to play for my son. He likes to sing along to familiar favorites. This one is so annoying, I put it in the garage sale pile right away. The voices are irritating, the music is irritating, and it is mixed so kid's can't sing along if they are familiar with the original versions.

I was just looking for a plain, cd with the original classic versions of the children's songs--no "cutesy" mixes or "updates". It is proving hard to find.

5 out of 5 stars My toddler loves it!.......2007-05-05

This 4-disc set contains tons of wonderful sing-a-long favorites that entertain my 2-year old. I even loaned it to her daycare class to enjoy, and all the other kids loved it too. These are all great versions and not bad for mommy to listen to either. What a value to get 101 songs for such a low price.

1 out of 5 stars Just awful.......2007-04-28

I did not in my wildest imagination expect anything like this. The songs are performed by 3 or 4 year olds with poor diction and pronunciation who do not appear to even pretend to like what they are singing. I listened to several songs at random trying to figure out what on earth they are saying. To no avail. It is impossible to sing along. Songs performed by adults are not any better. I don't know where the recording studio found these people but they do not seem to be professional performers. The music is somewhat unorthodox in terms of being revamped or remixed to what came out to be a totally boring arrangement with no rhyme or beat to it.

This was a complete waste of money. Those who rate this product as good or excellent may not have heard anything better in their lifetimes. How sad.

4 out of 5 stars good songs.......2007-04-16

i bought this CD for my son. Some of songs are sung at his preschool.
He sings them listening to this CD.

2 out of 5 stars Not upbeat or child-like enough.......2007-03-31

Songs do not emit a jump up and go response from my children. The arrangements are really boring.

It might have been tempting to subtitle the latest from Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry ...And Some People Don't. Though the soaring title ballad that opens the album celebrates the power of redemptive transformation, much of the material finds the duo pledging allegiance to roots that remain proudly hick ("Hey Country," with its interplay of banjo and screaming rock guitars) and defiantly redneck ("Redder," "What Do You Think About That"). Highlights include a deathbed reconciliation between a stubborn father and his rebellious son on "20 Years Ago" and a revenge song that channels a "Pretty Woman" groove on "Your Tears Are Coming." Wherever Montgomery Gentry are taking their music, they haven't forgotten where they came from. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Another Great Effort From Montgomery Gentry.......2007-06-19

I'm listening to this and hear the many influences they both have and the Material they put on this Cd is well worth the money it shows that the band is diverse in not only it's playing but also it's songwriting. I can't see how anyone whom is a Montgomery Gentry fan would say that this effort is less than good.

4 out of 5 stars good enough.......2007-06-12

if you love MG you'll like this cd...while their other cds are full of great, clever songs, this cd is full of good songs.

5 out of 5 stars Montgomery Gentry knows who they are........2007-06-04

This is the first time I've bought a full album by Montgomery Gentry, but I've always loved their sound and feel.

This album goes through a wide swing of emotions from love, to grief, to joy, to pride, to deviousness. The emotional range of this album has me going up and down each time I listen to it.

Some People Change also celebrates another collection other than the emotional: the range of difference between people themselves. "Some People Change" and "Takes All Kinds" are anthems to real people, celebrating the differences that make the world go around. Without each person being their own spoke in the wheel, the world couldn't turn.

And songs like "What Do You Think About That", "Redder Than That", and "Hey Country" demonstrate that Montgomery Gentry knows what spoke they are. They're the good ol' redneck boys that we all know and love.

2 out of 5 stars More country rock, less shlock!.......2007-05-29

MG has always had that whiskey drinkin', barroom country edge to them and this album has none of that feeling to it. I wish they could put the same energy into an album that they had on the CMT Crossroads with Skynyrd. Songs like Hillbilly Shoes, Hell Yeah and My Town all had that energy that is missing on this album. I think the next time the boys go into the studio they should take a little extra Jim Beam with them and kick it up a few notches!

4 out of 5 stars "Clouds" is the highlight!.......2007-04-12

I like Montgomery Gentry, but never bought their albums. I didn't this time either, but I heard the whole album the week of the release on XM when the two guys went on there to talk about each song before they played it.

I have lost five people out of my family in the last year and half... and this song "Clouds" made me just break down and cry. I don't cry easily at movies or songs, but this just hit home and you knew that Montgomery got it with the death of his son and father. For me... the rest of the album was good, but is so pale compared to the masterpiece of "Clouds".

5 out of 5 stars lullaby favorites: music for little people.......2007-06-27

My daughter is 7 years old and has listened to this CD every night since

she was 1. Our first CD finally wore out and we had to buy our second

copy. We love Tina Malia and her beautiful songs.

5 out of 5 stars The Best Lullaby CD .......2007-06-17

I first bought this CD along with several others shortly after my daughter was born and it quickly became the favorite. My daughter is turning 5 in a couple of weeks and this is still the CD she and I want to listen to at bedtime. We still love all the songs after listing to nearly every night for 5 years!. The music is all acoustic with lovely soothing melodies, quite rhythms, and beautifully sung lyrics. I strongly recommend buying this CD if you are looking for high quality relaxing and gentle music to help your child drift off to sleep. I've lost count of how many times I bought this CD and am always glad to purchase more.

5 out of 5 stars Better for mothers.......2007-06-10

I bought this CD for a friend who had just had a baby. I thought it would be to help the baby sleep...and maybe it does, but it helps my friend sleep better. She wouldn't be without it.

5 out of 5 stars Lullaby favorites: Music for Little People.......2007-06-08

The lullabyes on this CD are performed in an extraordinary fashion, ranging from soothing melodies to stimulating interpretations with traces of jazz. When you need something to calm and relax you and your baby, these songs with their quiet meditative qualiy, will provide that for you. I highly recommend Tina Maia's Lullaby Favorites.

For centuries the world over, mothers (and fathers) have been cradling, cooing, and crooning to babies and small children with song. There's scarcely a one of us that cannot recall a particularly gentle song a special someone sang for a wee self--to calm, soothe, and aid slumber. This tender music is to the soul what mother's milk is to the body, and we call it the lullaby. Rooted in age-old tradition, Lullaby: A Collection presents an even dozen lullabies from around the globe. Particularly beguiling are the African "Be Still My Child" by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the traditional Spanish "A La Nanita Nana" as sung by Tish Hinojosa, and Bobby McFerrin's "Common Thread," which you may recognize as the theme from the American documentary Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt. Other featured artists include Sweet Honey in the Rock, Judy Collins, Derek Bell, and Loreena McKennitt. --Paige La Grone

I received this CD as a gift when my son was born. He is now almost 4 yrs. old. He and my daughter (8 mos.) love this CD. It is very relaxing ,has wonderful music, and we will continue to listen to this CD for years to come.

5 out of 5 stars Best Lullaby CD.......2007-03-10

We have listened to this CD almost every night for the last 2.5 years and never get tired of it. It's so interesting and my boys love it!

2 out of 5 stars Lullaby.......2007-01-09

Interesting but I really didn't think it was appropriate bedtime music for my daughter. She actually had nightmares each night that I played it for her at bedtime. However, my mother really enjoyed it.

5 out of 5 stars 10 Years Later .......2006-11-22

We brought this CD ten years ago when I was pregnant with our first child. My son never made it past the first song awake which we as new parents loved. My daughters may take longer to fall asleep while listening to this CD but it always does the trick. After ten years of daily use I am buying a replacement for the scratched and worn CD. No other CD in our collection has been so enjoyed by all of us for so long. My husband and I love to hear the melodies every evening as well as the children.

5 out of 5 stars More than a Lullaby CD.......2006-09-21

I recently went through at home hospice care with a loved one. We listened to this album over and over through that trying time. He died with it playing. The mood of the music was very healing and spiritual. I listen to it now and remember him. These songs and artists help heal grief, not just soothe temporary restlessness. "All the Pretty Little Horses" is my favorite but the entire album is quite beautiful. I highly recommend it for grief work as well as bedtime.
