Customer Reviews:

Great Collection.......2006-03-06

Although these songs are not sung in the traditional manner, they are very catchy and fun. Warning: you won't be able to get some of these out of your head.

NOT sung the way you're used to.......2005-07-22

The redentions of some tracks on the "Children's Songs" CD are jazzed up versions . . . more complicated, untraditional rhythms and notes. If you're buying this for a child who already knows these songs by heart, then you may like this. However, if you're looking for recordings so you can teach your child the original versions you're used to, you may want to look elsewhere.

A Bargain! 3 CD's of Traditional Songs Every Kid Should Own.......2005-01-02

This collection is a bargain! 3 CD's. 46 songs. Award-winning company. Traditional songs that kids love to hear and sing performed in a traditional, mellow way. I highly recommend this collection for families that want to build an excellent collection of music for kids.

The songs are performed in a traditional, somewhat-mellow way, which is how quality children's music should be performed. Too many children's music CD's these days are full of gimmicks that sound catchy at first (to generate sales) but get annoying after awhile. These CD's, in contrast, are high quality and are designed with the needs of children in mind - not catchy gimmicks. The Nursery Rhymes CD is particularly excellent for late drives home and nap time.

This is a quality collection by a company - Baby Genius - that has won many awards (such as Parents Choice) for its children's music. There is better music out there, such as Raffi, but this collection is simply a "must buy" because of the bargain price and as an important part of an excellent larger collection for your children.

Every child should grow up hearing these traditional songs. Also be sure to buy one of Raffi's music collections as your base collection to build around.

Album Description

The Elephant's Baby is indescribably witty, urbane, slick and all around unique. Fader has the proverbial way with words and her imagination is a frightfully bizarre living room full of animal noises, weird lovers, threatening furniture, strange childhood stories, and the occasional romantic holiday. It's all played out as cabaret (she calls her ensemble The Vaudevillains), part New York 1999 and part Berlin 1927. It's a cabaret act that has gone off its meds. It allows for nursery stories with masochistic leanings, simple love songs that catch you off guard, and a subtle sexuality and blatant carnality that are disarmingly sweet and slyly dark...

Arranger and conductor Damon Camona has assembled an orchestra of strings, woodwinds, percussion, reeds and brass that harkens back to the Carl Stalling ensembles of Looney Tunes fame. He has them spinning like tops, turning on a dime and a whim...It bubbles, growls, pops, and snaps, evoking merriment and foreboding in equal measure, lush to a fault, edgy to distraction...

[Fader and Carmona] seem to have fed each other's strange sensibilities to produce one of the more unique American Recordings I have heard in recent years."

Customer Reviews:

The Cat's Meow........2006-08-08

Refreshingly cool. Back-alley-smart. Street-sassy. Capricious. Non-cliched. Captivating. Intriguing. Humorous. Elegant. After-hours Martini mingle. The Cat's Meow. At times the album sounds simultaneously gritty and debonair--kinda' like Midnight Cowboy's Ratso in tux. That's my brief FIVE star review for Clare Faders "Elephants Baby." If you like this I'm sure you will dig her other musical creations as well. Do yourself a favor, enjoy one of her international concerts as I have in Gothenburg, Sweden! Stefano Musitano, Sweden

symphonic caberet.......2006-05-05

wonderful to hear a. a singer's voice
b. real musical instruments
c. good songs
first time in quite a while that i have been happy with more than just one or two songs of a cd. i was very happy that i had bought this and it's still in my cd player.

I'm sucking caffeine out of coffee stains!.......2005-10-18

Clare Fader has mastered bringing cabaret back to life. Her debut album contains some great songs and shows promise for the future (her future would produce an even better album a little while later).

1. Animal Charm - quirky, catchy, and fun... a sing-a-long type of song. A

2. Sister Of Mine - another catchy song. B+

3. The Wine - fun, quirky, and catchy... this song was featured on MTV's The Real World for a reason. I dare you not to sing along. A+

4. Love is the Cruelest Cliche - a slower song with strings, oboe, and piano backing Ms. Fader. B

5. Drunk on Skin - great lyrics, great music, Clare's done it again. A-

6. Wedding Day Lament - a slower, storylike song that'd fit perfectly into a musical. B

7. Alice - my least favorite Clare fader song... it's slow and not overly catchy... doesn't seem to fit well on the album, in my opinion- but I'm glad it's here, because it's something else from Ms. Fader. C

8. Johnny - the album picks back up in pace with this one... a great sing-along. A

9. Cabin Fever - another one I can't help but singing along to. How does she do it? Great lyrics. A-

10. Queen - a slow-down point again... but not necessarily bad. Another song that'd fit well into a musical. B

11. Isle of Summer - the climax of the musical that is the album. Wonderful way to close the album. A

Alternative Listening .......2005-08-12

I was interested by this album from what I heard of the track "The Wine" especially the use of German made almost Garbo like in sound. I was pleasantly surprised at finding a kaleidoscope of listening pleasure whith each track containing its own unique sound and thoughtful lyrics - listen to "Drunk on Skin" or "Johnny" and be amazed. I am looking forward to listening to more of Clare Fader in future.

The Next Big Thing.......2005-07-31

I respectfully disagree with M.Elkins, I think ELEPHANT'S BABY is for everyone, at least everyone with the merest hint of taste.

THE ELEPHANT'S BABY is both wonderfully retro and perfectly contemporary at the same time (not an easy trick to perform).

Clare Fader's voice is spectacular, the arrangements superb, but what puts THE ELEPHANT'S BABY over the top, and what makes Clare Fader feel like "The Next Big Thing," is her incredible song writing ability. Each song is a well executed short story in and of itself. Her tales are fairly twisted, but in a sweet rather than dark way.

I urge you to buy it now so that when Clare Fader is famous in a year or two, you can say, with haughty delight, "Oh, I've been listening to her for years!"
