Free Music Notes for My Green Kite
Free Music Review: Starts out great, then fizzles
Hit: 3 Stars
The first 4 or 5 songs are wonderful- upbeat with clever lyrics. Many of these songs remind me a bit of Elvis Costello. My kids especially cannot get enough of "My Feet" and "My Green Kite".
Near the end of the CD, though, the songs are slower and not nearly as catchy as the ones in the beginning.
I appreciate Peter's ability to mix up tempco and style, but some just didn't hit the mark.
My Green Kite Poster
Peter Himmelman has many kites in the air. On his fourth family recording, Peter's quirky sense of humor, strong friendly vocals, expert musicianship and intelligent, touching and laugh-out-loud funny lyrics make his timeless songs soar. Expect the unexpected as Peter surprises and delights any age, any time. Includes songs such as My Green Kite, A Dozen Roses, and Baseball Tips With Professor Buckley.Peter Himmelman has a rubbery voice, a vivid imagination, an ear for quirky pop songs that sounds ripe for the picking by some brilliant kids' comedy troupe, and a complete lack of self-consciousness--a combination you don't often find in kids' performers, even the most successful ones. My Green Kite follows the just-for-the-fun-of-it formula of previous discs like My Fabulous Plum and My Best Friend is a Salamander--here's Himmelman contemplating how confounding a word "maybe" can be ("Maybe Is a Bad Word"), examining the under-appreciated qualities of an egg ("Have You Ever Really Looked at an Egg") and, in a half-poignant, half-hilarious number, deeply regretting his embarrassment over his dad's painfully boring occupation ("My Father's an Accountant"). The word for these songs is screwball--there's a certain loose genius lurking below the surface. As the soundtrack to a Sunday-afternoon Lego marathon, they're pretty near perfect. --Tammy La Gorce
