This reissue, originally appearing as a Folkways recording in 1970, features noted children's folk singer and educator Ella Jenkins facilitating a 1969 sing and play workshop with children ages 7 to 14. While one might expect Seasons for Singing to be dated, the reverse is true: a timelessness is achieved by virtue of simple melody, lively young voices, and enthusiastic reverie. As the liner notes state, Seasons is a "listen-and-take-part-immediately" record. From an alternate version of "This Train," to the traditional spiritual "All Night, All Day" and Kathy Mullen's "Go, Aquanetta, Go" are sure to rouse spontaneous participation from young listeners. Equally versatile for at home or group play, Seasons practically begs for small instruments such as kazoos, triangles, wood blocks, and bells. --Paige La Grone
