Happy Easter Songs

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Recalling rainy Saturdays spent watching black-and-white musicals on television with Mom, Happy Easter Songs hops off with Sammy Kaye and the Kaydets doing a Swing and Sway version of "Peter Cottontail." This is a lively, nostalgic, and largely secular celebration of Spring sprung by way of Easter featuring, among others, cowboy singer Gene Autry and the throaty tones of Burl Ives on the well-known "The Little White Duck." Rosemary Clooney contributes dreamy vocals to three numbers, including the childhood favorite "Lovely Weather for Ducks" and the Irving Berlin classic "Easter Parade." (Remember the adorable film of the same name starring Fred Astaire and Judy Garland?) Half of the songs make merry with rabbits, including Art Carney's snappy word-jazz--small children will enjoy acting out the tales as he tells "Flop. Mop. Cotton and Pete" and, especially, "A Thump. A Twinkle. And a Twitch... Or How to Make a Rabbit." --Paige La Grone

5 out of 5 stars The right singer for the right music.......2002-12-21

I love music like this that straddles the border between classical and pop or jazz. I had never heard of Valerie Errante before, but she has a perfect voice both for the more classical pieces at the beginning of the CD and the jazzier pieces at the end. She is one of those rare singers (Dawn Upshaw is another) who seems equally comfortable with both styles. If you don't already own a recording of "Blackberry Winter," it's one of those rare songs which can genuinely be said to be worth the price of the entire CD. Wilder reminds me in some ways of another composer who deserves a wider hearing--Ricky Ian Gordon. Hopefully this CD will help bring this composer the attention he deserves.

5 out of 5 stars wonderful.......2002-10-22

Wonderful voice makes this a fun CD to listen to on any occaision. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Please re-release the is CD.......2006-04-15

I have a neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt each year and I am looking for fun music to play and this CD would be perfect.

5 out of 5 stars Please Bring this CD Back!.......2005-03-28

This are great songs and great artists BUT I am really disapointed that this CD is no longer available - the songs can't be found anywhere and no one nowhere is selling it. PLEASE bring this CD back!!!

(And then I can give it 5 stars!!!!!)

4 out of 5 stars A Fun and wholesome Easter CD!.......2001-10-12

I purchased this CD last Spring for my children to listen to in the car. It was a gamble for me as I had not yet heard it myself. It is great! The old sound of the songs will warm the adults, while the songs themselves will endear themselves to a new generation. All three of my children, (ages 10,7,and 5) enjoyed the CD and learned all the words to every song. Just mentioning "Eggbert the Easter Egg" brings a smile to their faces. I recommend this collection to any parent wanting wholesome music for their children - especially in the car.

5 out of 5 stars I have ordered this Happy Easter Songs.......1999-04-09

I can't review this because I haven't received the CD yet. Can tell me where it is and/or when it will be here.
