5 out of 5 stars Trout Fishing in America has wide appeal.......2007-04-12

After hearing Trout Fishing in America at a concert in my home town, I decided to buy a CD for my husband and me and one for my 7-year-old granddaughter. When we got together, we played (her) "Big Trouble" and (our) "My Best Day". I don't know who enjoyed it more--the children, the parents, or the grandparents. My granddaughter was soon singing along with "When I Was a Dinosaur" and other favorites on the CD which is not surprising when you consider how many times she listened to it during the weekend. Ezra Idlet and Keith Grimwood are wonderful musicians, clever song-writers, and just all-around great entertainers. Here's to many more years of their audience-pleasing CD's and personal appearances.

4 out of 5 stars Big Trouble is great.......2006-08-09

My favorite is still Family Party, but that's probably because I've had it for years--I bought it even before my son was born. We enjoy Big Trouble, we just have to listen to it more often to really get to know the songs. We especially like the title song--that poor kid, in such big trouble because the monsters have wrecked his house!

5 out of 5 stars Great, Upbeat Music for the whole Family!.......2006-07-02

I used to work at a toy store and believe me we had to play some really bad music, but when this cd was on, the time just flew by. Now I listen to this music with my son. It is really upbeat and is something I would recommend when you need to pass the time like when you're in the car or cleaning up. The songs are creative, not the same old sing alongs you get on all the other kids' music cds.

5 out of 5 stars this is so funny!.......2006-03-10

I HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHEN I PUT THIS CD ON WE LAUGH AND IT'S EVEN FUN FOR ADULTS! I THREW HER OUT THE WINDOW! MY SON WHO WE GOT THIS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY LOVED HEARING THIS ON HIS SCHOOL BUS!HE TOLD ME THAT HE WANTED THIS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.WELL THANK GOODNESS AMAZON HAD IT AND FOR CHEAP! I NEVER KNEW THAT ORDERING COULD BE SO FUN AND FAST!

5 out of 5 stars The Reason I rarely buy stupid popular character kids music.......2006-01-07

Popular fad kids music willl never be able to compare to the perfection that is Trout fishing in America. Fresh, funny, lively addictive music the whole family will want to listen to together.
I was introduced to Trout fisning in America long before I had kids. My husband had 2 CDs fromhis college days.
Every single son on this tape is memerable. YOu will find yourself singing, or trying to sing along in the case of Proper Cup of Coffee!
There are way too many laugh out loud lyrics, the music is contagious and makes you want to move.
Lastly Lullaby is actually a sweet beautiful piece.
NOt only are they fun songs but these 2 men have great voices!

Very pleased.

I have tried many baby lullaby CDs. Most of them use hokie synthesizer music that drives me crazy. This one has actual violin, flute, xylophone, etc. I listen to it even when my babies aren't around.

5 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL!!!.......2004-08-01

As a nanny, this CD proves to be one of the finest and comforting compilation of soothing sounds I have ever experienced. I am purchasing this CD now for MYSELF, as at the end of a busy day with children, it is "I" who needs to be soothed off to sleep in the evening!It is definitely a 'keeper' and can be VERY useful in meditation also. Enjoy!

When it comes to morphing, Power Rangers producer Haim Saban is no slouch himself, having seen his efforts at translating and marketing a '70s Japanese kids' action show originally called Dinosaur Task Force Zyuranger blossom into a billion-dollar pop-culture empire. This soundtrack chronicles the musical side of the Saban/Power Rangers saga, collecting 16 tracks that span the 1990s' "Go, Go Power Rangers" through the show's Turbo and Zeo phases to its more recent Wild Force incarnation. For the uninitiated, the music here is a long way from cutesy Hanna-Barbera jingles; Saban (who's credited with cowriting many of the tracks) and his studio sidemen have concocted convincing facsimiles of everything from bracing, metallic techno-thrash to harmony-driven modern rock and the swaggering hip-hop of "I Will Rescue You." Powered largely by thunderous bass and drums and punctuated by screaming guitar solos, it's an unlikely bastion for Metallica-lite speed-metal sensibilities, but one that fits its flashing spandex heroes to a "T." --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Power Rangers CD.......2007-06-29

I love this CD. I love the show, whenever it airs. THe whole stuff rocks. Cool stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!! A Must for Power Ranger Fans!!!!.......2007-01-16

This was bought for our son and he ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!!!! The cd is a great addition to any power ranger collection and perfect for that Power Ranger Fan. The songs on the cd are from most of the power ranger seasons and again is great. I would recomend this to anyone looking for a different type of power ranger item!!!

5 out of 5 stars Best Of Power Rangers Sound Track.......2005-06-24

I like this CD but I need lyrics to every song because I "mishear" words.

4 out of 5 stars "The Best of Power Rangers"? I don't think so!.......2005-03-26

When I got this CD at ToysRus, I thought it was going to be good. When I saw that "Go, Go Power Rangers" was going to be on it, I was estatic! I havn't heard that song in a long time! I thought it was gonna be either the short theme or the full version. I was wrong. It's pretty good, but NOTHING like the original! Who ARE they kidding?!? Really! Don't get me started on that crappy Power Rangers Turbo theme! It sucks! Nothing like the original. And I would know! I'm 15, and I've watched the power rangers ever since MMPR! Hey, Whoever put this CD together! Next time u make a PR CD, Put most of the theme songs, like the full Go, Go Power Rangers, the ACTUAL Power Rangers Tubo theme, PRIS, PRLG, PRLR, PRTF and the ACTUAL wild force theme. REMEMBER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Somic old, Somicthing New, Somthing borrowed, something blue.......2004-07-14

This CD is both exciting and dissappointing. Why? Here's a breakdown:
Go Go Power Rangers - Gag me with a spoon, this is nothing like the orginal

Power Rangers Wild Force Theme - This sounds close to the orginal, though I haven't heard much of the themes between PRiS and PR:DT.

Best of the Best of the Best - Sounds like one of the fight songs, its okay

Power Rangers Turbo, Go! - ANOTHER joke like "Go Go Power Rangers"

I Will Rescue You - New, different, the first song on this CD that impressed me

Hope For the World, Power Rangers Zeo, and Go Gold Ranger - Can be found on the Power Rangers Turbo CD. Good because that soundtrack is hard to get anymore. Bad because I heard it all before.

Here Comes the Power Again - Poorly named, this is NOTHING like the song that was on the Turbo soundtrack. This should of been named "Here come the Rangers"

Enemies Beware, Invincible - Turbo Soundtrack again

New Rangers to the Rescue - A new one that is good to hear.

Calling for a Hero - Turbo again.

Give Me a Sign - New one that follows the theme of "I Will Rescue You"

Big Bang, Unite - And we end with more Turbo orginals.

Final Thoughts: If you don't have the Turbo Soundtrack, get this. If you're looking for the orginal PR songs, or have the Turbo soundtrack, or simply don't like the new music, save your money.

Only Shel Siverstein could recite his poems with such creative style. A true performer. To hear his songs performed by such greats as Johnny Cash singing "A Boy Named Sue" added to the diversity of this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Gonna buy five copies for my mother!.......2006-07-02

This is a compilation album of songs (and poems) written by Shel Silverstein. Shel is probably best known for his books of poetry for children, but he also had a bawdy side, writing songs about sex, drugs and rock & roll. This CD features some of his material performed by himself, but it also includes performances of his songs by other people. Shel never had any hits himself, but he did write hit songs for people like Dr. Hook, Bobby Bare and Johnny Cash, many of which are included here. This CD provides a good overview of Shel's songs, both comical and serious. There is an unlisted bonus track, which is Shel performing a "26 Second Song".

5 out of 5 stars SHel Silverstein.......2006-02-24

I loved the CD and plan to order more in the future from the author. Thanks!

4 out of 5 stars Not appropriate for children.......2006-02-19

I originally purchased this CD for my children. Upon recieving it and listening to it, I felt I needed to let other parents know that while this is an interesting and enjoyable compliation, it contains inappropriate lyrical content for children such as abnormal sexual behavior and drug abuse.

I love this CD and so does everyone we've given it to as a gift. I especially like "Waltzing with Bears."

5 out of 5 stars Stardreamer.......2007-03-08

The CD arrived looking fine. It was a gift of lullabies for a friend who has baby twins. She reports that she and they all love it.

5 out of 5 stars Great for children and adults.......2007-03-06

This is one of my all-time favorite children's CDs, though it's very enjoyable for adults, too, especially if you like folk music. It seems that most vocal lullaby albums feature soprano singers, and, being a contralto myself, it's so refreshing to listen to a singer with a more mellow, warm, lower voice. It's also much easier for me to sing along in these keys! If you'd like to check out other albums for kids, do look into Lullaby: A Collection (Music for Little People), or anything by Susie Tallman and Friends.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful for children and adults alike!.......2007-02-03

My first experience with Priscilla Herdman...and what an impression! I didn't want to return this to the library; neither did my children, ages 2 and 6. Her beautiful, clear, crisp voice with simple, yet rich harmonies and melodies expose kids to the art of folk music and classic rhyme. I've always sung to my children...now I have perfect company! This is my new gift for all parents!

5 out of 5 stars Herdman is magic for children.......2006-10-05

I play this for my grandchildren - and for me. The kids love Herdman's very distinctive approach and relate well to her music. And you know what? So do I. Great music for young and old.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful CD for toddlers and up.......2006-06-02

My three year old son loves this CD and listens over and over. We heard Itchie Itchie Ow one morning and he was singing it that afternoon and I knew we had to get the CD. My husband and I enjoy her voice as well, soft, calming and melodious - easy tunes to remember and about things to which kids can relate. She is somewhat similar to Laurie Berkner but Katherine's songs seem to have more relevance, i.e., kids understand muscles and bones and what itchies and owies are. I agree with the other reviewers; you will be listening several times a day so good thing adults enjoy as well!!

5 out of 5 stars awesome cd!.......2006-05-10

My children and I saw Katherine Dines at our library. She is wonderful! We bought two cd's and this is our favorite! Myself my children and all the kids in the neighborhood love her cd's (3-10yr olds). They always ask for it in the car. Muscle and Bones and Hey Sam are hands down the favorites of this cd. I really enjoy listening myself. You won't be disapointed with this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Katherine Dines is the best!.......2000-09-25

My 2-year-old son has had this CD since he was 10 months old, and he loves it! If Mama doesn't play "Sam" (his name for it) at least once a day, she's in trouble! The songs are easy to learn and remember, the tunes are memorable and--great for this adult who has to listen to it over and over--enjoyable! Dines has a real gift for entertaining children as well as educating, and this collection is one of her best.

Amazon.com

These Atlanta, Georgia, pops can rock! Stay-at-home-dad John Boydston and Walt Brewer (ex-Jody Grind) have cleverly blended their passions for parenting and rock & rolling with the supergroovy Daddy à Go-Go release, Cool Music for Cool Kids. Tackling subject matter ranging from the merits of brushing your teeth to the pleasures of fatherhood to carpooling and diaper changing, Daddy à Go-Go fills the gap for hip parents and kids with a hankering for something cooler and more substantive than Barney, edgier than Raffi. Daddy à Go-Go makes jubilant jangle-pop recalling the '80s heyday of Athens, Georgia, as well as '60s three-chord pop. "I Can Swing By Myself" and "Ants in My Pants" are infectious bass-heavy twang-rockers, and the carpool song kicks some serious Neil Young-style booty. Instrumentals such as "The Thang from Planet Twang," "Chop 'Till You Drop," and "Glad to Be a Dad" are surf and rockabilly inflected explorations in sound and the boogie that follows. From Boydston's delightful originals to the Dads' covers of themes from Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, Daddy à Go-Go does a family good. --Paige La Grone

Album Description

"Cool Songs for Cool Kids" is Daddy A Go Go's first CD and was named to Amazon.com's first ever Top 10 Best Kids Records of the Year List (1999) and continues to be a favorite among Daddy a Go Go fans. All Music Guide writes: "Cool Songs for Cool Kids is a great introduction to Daddy a Go-Go's cool sound. The title of Daddy a Go-Go's debut Cool Songs for Cool Kids tells most of the story behind the album, though it leaves out the key ingredient of its appeal: the cool dads that comprise Daddy a Go-Go. Walt Brewer and John Boydston mix elements of surf, rockabilly, bubblegum, and classic rock and playful themes into 15 fun songs for kids and parents. Rough, jangly covers of the theme songs to Scooby Doo and Speed Racer, surfy instrumentals like "The Thang From Planet Twang," and witty originals like "Dads in the Sky" and "Daddy's Diaper Blues" reflect the different sides of Daddy a Go-Go's fun, unique style." Its a kids record that doesn't talk down to kids (or to parents) and begins the Daddy a Go Go tradition of never insulting anyone's intelligence, while keeping it fun. Daddy a Go Go has 5 CD's, so check out Daddy A Go Go's other 4 CD's here at Amazon.com, starting with the 2006 release "Eat Every Bean and Pea On Your Plate," one of Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD"s of the Year Choices. Also Parents Choice Award Winner "Monkey In The Middle," which was also named to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids Records of the Year in 2000. "Big Rock Rooster" expands Daddy a Go Go's notion of rock and roll for the family with rom covers of Allan Sherman's "Hello Muddah,Hello Faddah" and a punchy version of "Come On Get Happy", to fun clever originals like "I Wanna Be An Action Figure" and "I Think I Might Be a Dog." And in 2004 Daddy A Go Go won a 2nd Parents Choice Award with "Mojo A Go Go - Real Rock For Kids" CD, which was again named to Amazon.com's Top 10 Best Kids CD's The Year List. Check out these other CD's as well, and look for Daddy A Go Go's 5th CD release in spring 2006. Check them all out.

1 out of 5 stars Did not like this at all..........2007-02-06

I was very disappointed in this album. I bought it after reading the reviews, many of which stated that this album was one they enjoyed listening to as much as their kids. In my opinion, it sounds very canned and synthy. But it just might be my taste. I'm a huge fan of Elizabeth Mitchell, whose instrumentation is very minimal and whose songs really stand on the vocals and the lyrics. Daddy a Go-Go's songs are too chaotic for me!

This is a fun dance CD. We haven't tried it in the car yet, but we have a great time singing the ABC's and my favorite, Speed Racer.

The kids are three & five, and, of course, want to hear the same cd again and again - this one is actually tolerable even if you've already heard it five times that day....it's also good for getting the kids moving - it's very danceable.

5 out of 5 stars We love this CD!.......2000-09-10

This is a great CD. My 3-year-old daughter can't help but dance when she hears it. The first time I played it, she sang the alphabet to the "Alphabet Song". It's great to find such a fabulous collection of kids' music all on one CD. We played the CD 3 times the first day we had it. Buy this one!

5 out of 5 stars Fun Music for All Ages!.......2000-03-14

We bought this album because we wanted music that the whole family could enjoy, an does it deliver! Often with children's music the songs can get pretty boring after awhile. This CD is full of fun dance tunes and even throws in a little lesson on personal hygiene with "brush your teeth!". Our three year old has been listening and dancing to it since he was 21 months old. We know our 3 month old will love it too. We can't wait for more from these Go-Go Daddies!

    Silly Songs is a great set of goofball hits guaranteed to paste grins on 4-year-old faces. Never mind that the songs are not originals and that (outside of the few that include Mickey, Minnie, and Goofy), you've never heard of the singers crooning them. These loopy chestnuts--"Purple People Eater," "Bill Grogan's Goat," "On Top of Spaghetti"--have sunk themselves so deeply into grownup funnybones that anybody who refuses to reel with the feelin' on "Splish Splash" should be ready to be outed as a grump. Better still, this record seals the deal on wacky bonding experiences. Kids who have never played "The Name Game" or screamed for ice cream, get set: one spin of this, and parents will be shouting "Ta Ra Ra Boom De Ay." --Tammy La Gorce

      It's Roger Bobo, what more can be said. This is one of the finest albums of tuba music recorded by one the world's greatest tuba players. You're doing a disservice to yourself by not owning this.
