Free Music Notes for Night TimeFree Music Review: Not a fan Hit: 1 StarsWow, I guess we had quite a different experience from all the raves! We gave this cd a play several times, hoping to have it "grow on us" but all of us disliked it. The rambling speaking parts are annoying, the singing voices not entirely pleasant. We all loved the recording of Firefly, but that's it.
Free Music Review: Great all around album Hit: 5 StarsI got this album for listening in the car. I wanted music that I could appreciate, without worrying about content with my two year old in the back seat. The songs are mellow, fun, and *musical*... NOT your normal squeaky/irritating 'kids' music!! He appeals to me a bit like Tom Petty does, although the mild similarity is mostly in their voices. The tunes have a lived in, folk sound, like songs passed down from one generation to the next. My son loves this album and asks for it regularly, and while out shopping bursts into "Hi-ho the Valley-O" or "Down by the riverside". We plan on getting more Dan Zanes in the future.
Free Music Review: great and prompt Hit: 4 StarsIt had the song on it that we wanted and it is a very nice cd. and we got it very fast. thank-you.

Free Music Review: BUY IT NOW! Hit: 5 StarsParents, prepare to have your lives changed. This is GREAT music that you and your kids will enjoy together. DZAF has created something that goes far beyond music that the kids will beg to hear and grown-ups can stand to play AGAIN in the mini-van. This is music that inspires music-making.
Since we "discovered" DZAF, my four year old spends her days singing, dancing, pretending she "is" Dan Zanes, pretending she's playing with Dan Zanes, and learning to play the piano and ukulele (yes, the DZ Flea edition!). She asked Santa for a harmonica. Just that. Is she learning catchy (ANNOYING) jingles about how to tie her shoes? No. Is she learning anything? Yes. Music is math, art, reading, writing, peace, love and happiness! She is learning that making music is bigger than the song; collaboration to create something good gives children a sense of inclusion, unity, curiosity, and goodwill that they carry with them when the song/dance party is over.
On a barely related note, if you have the chance, see DZAF in concert. The only thing better than hearing the music is experiencing the wild, all-ages folk show in person. Our recent concert experience was so incredible, we're driving 376 miles in March to see the band again!
This might be my favorite release from DZAF. Hard to say..... Our faves from this CD are "Night Owl (fun for ukesters)," "Linger for a While," "Pay Me My Money Down," "Down By the Riverside," and "Leadbelly Songs (also fun to play on the uke)." I hope your family will be as inspired by the work of this amazing band as mine has been.
Free Music Review: Wonderful music for the whole family! Hit: 5 StarsWe listen to this CD everywhere--in the car, in the kitchen while making dinner, during dinnertime, just before bed. It is truly wonderful, and our 1-year old daughter LOVES it! (In particular, she likes "Down by the Riverside" and "Wild Mountain Thyme" and ANYTHING with Father Goose...) Not annoying, but sweet and great music. It's great to have a CD that we all enjoy listening to together!
