This three-disc set reissued by Rounder Records in 1997 takes children's singer Raffi's first three (and arguably best) albums, Singable Songs for the Very Young, More Singable Songs, and The Corner Grocery Store and More Singable Songs, and packages them all together. The Singable Songs Collections goes through all types of songs -- from ...
This is an essential collection that's perfect for kids and still enjoyable for adults. [The 2002 reissue contains one bonus track.]~ David A. Milberg, All Music Guide
Raffi's Box of Sunshine collects three of the children's' singer's albums: 1982's Rise & Shine, 1985's One Light One Sun, and 1987's Everything Grows. Ranging from traditional children's songs like "Row, Row, Row" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," originals like "Let's Make Some Noise," and spiritual favorites like "This Little Light of Mine" and ...
Apparently this is to be Raffi's last recording mostly for children. He's since turned his attention to the environment and somewhat away from children's recordings. This is a fine album. For ages three to eight. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide
This outstanding album offers children's classics of the past fifty years featuring original recordings of these great artists. Titles include: Sweet Honey in the Rock--"Little Red Caboose," and James Taylor--"Jelly Man Kelly," Loggins and Messina--"House at Pooh Corner," Judy Garland--"Over the Rainbow," Burl Ives--"Polly Wolly Doodle," Pete ...
Raffi's first environmental statement, this is not really a children's recording, and apparently he didn't intend it to be. However, since some of the most ferocious recyclers are children, and since these kids will inherit our mess, think older children would benefit from it. For ages ten and above. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide
Here is the first really major figure in modern children's music. He blazed the trail for many to follow. Every recording is recommended. Raffi is Canada's gift to children everywhere. For ages two to six. ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide
Rhino Records' A Child's Celebration of The Silliest Songs combines funny songs for kids with guest performers like Raffi, Little Richard, Julie Andrews and Shelly Duvall. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
For ages three to seven.Songs include "Bathtime," "Brown Girl in the Rain, " "Everything Grows, " "Teddy Bear Hug, " "Little White Duck, " and "Just Like the Sun." ~ Bob Hinkle, All Music Guide
Children's music superstar Raffi maintains his stellar standards on this charming 16-song album. Don't be fooled by the title, which is something of a misnomer: this isn't all play music. In fact, it covers a range of moods and subjects, not to mention genres.The bearded Pied Piper from Canada weaves together a selection of familiar covers and ...
Essentially a label sampler featuring selections from children's albums by Buckwheat Zydeco, Cedella Marley Booker, Maria Muldaur, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Taj Mahal, and John McCutcheon, Music for Little People's A Children's Celebration of Folk Music is filled out by the licensing of songs by Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie, Doc Watson, Raffi, David ...
Raffi turns more to his own originals on this, his best collection, but also turns in excellent versions of traditional songs such as "Apples and Bananas" and claims some nominally adult songs such as "Octopus's Garden" for the children's market. For ages 4-9. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
By his own admission, emotion is central to the music of Peteris Vasks, though his intense outpourings are far from amorphous or undisciplined rhapsodies. Rather, his most passionate works are tempered by an appreciation of tradition and a practical awareness of instrumental techniques, timbres, and orchestral textures. Neo-Romanticism plainly ...
This is a collection of (on occasion) overwhelmingly positive songs like "Good Day Sunshine," "Don't Worry Be Happy," "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," and "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning, " most by the original artists. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
Rhino's A Child's Celebration of the World contains 15 children's songs from all over the world, performed by an eclectic cast of musicians including Raffi, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Taj Mahal, Bill Miller, Maria Muldaur, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Joan Baez. The collection strikes a nice balance between the unusual and familiar, and all of the ...
The bedtime entry in Music for Little People's series of Child's Celebration samplers is predictably becalmed and characteristically diverse. For the most part, the label licensed material from elsewhere, and if the mood and tempos are consistent, the artist lineup ranges from the Grateful Dead to Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, or at least from ...
