Putumayo Kids Presents: Sing Along With Putumayo

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Here's a likable roundup for anyone who failed to connect with the family music bandwagon when it first rolled into homes five years ago. Some of the coolest players in the crop contribute to Putumayo Kids: Dan Zanes and Friends' "Bushel and a Peck," Rosie Flores' spirits-to-the-sky "Red Red Robin," and Taj Mahal's gruff "Don't You Push Me Down," all sound out for the world that sweetness and simplicity, paired with the right lyrics add up to perfection. The title suggests singing along, but that's strictly optional. Unlike other samplers that collect catchy songs under that banner, listening along with Putumayo is a lot of fun too, especially given that you're provided with liner notes that list lyrics as well as song meanings in English, French, and Spanish. It should not be overlooked that gazing at this package is satisfying in itself. The Putumayo people consistently captivate with their earthy, whimsical covers, and Sing Along is no exception. --Tammy La Gorce

Excellent CD for kids that you won't get tired of listening to........2007-01-22

This CD has great music, lyrics, and it's not like other kid's music that you want to throw out the window if you have to listen to it again and again. It's a must have!

My kids love it!.......2006-06-14

I'm happy to say this is one my kids love. I even caught my 4-yr old daughter in the room "singing" along. It is one of the few cds that they request. Realy nice. Just one note: if you own Daddy-0 (various artists perform Woody Guthrie music) then you will find a track or two familiar. The flavor of the cd is similar as well. If you mix your own cds for the car, etc. the two would work really well together.

Family Favorite.......2006-03-18

My grandparents sent this as a gift for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We listened to it on a 10 hour road trip and none of us tired of it. In fact, it's been in my car's CD player for 2 years and we listen to it all the time. The songs are not like the Wiggles or other similar artists. Everyone can enjoy them and sing along.

I bought this for my friend's daughter. I know she'll love it as much as we have.

Totally Excellent.......2006-02-22

The music on this CD is excellent. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes music as well as anyone who has children or grandchildren. The messages in the lyrics are uplifting and confirming, the professional level of the musicians is first rate, and the enjoyment factor cuts across all ages.

Not As Impressive As Other Putumayo.......2006-02-09

I love Putumayo Kids collections because I find them to be great for adults too, but this is an exception. This CD is the only exception, I don't find the instrumentals or lyrics fun, or interesting on this CD- not something I want to listen to.
