Putumayo Kids Presents: Folk Playground Poster
This CD features fun songs from many of America's leading children's musicians and other well-known artists. Years ago people used to get together with family and friends to make music. Gathered around the fireplace or sitting on the front porch, people of all ages would pull out instruments ans sing traditional songs that had been passed down from previous generations. This is the very essence of folk music, and its legacy continues on with Folk Playground. Some of the songs included are Hop Up Ladies, Froggie Went a-Courtin', and It's All How You Look At It.Putumayo's consistently top-drawer producers probably encountered fewer obstacles combing the globe for exotic artists to include in their World Playground disc than in concocting excitement over Folk Playground. For one thing, Dan Zanes has been cranking out excellent folk-flavored records for kids alongside his battalion of big-name friends for years--even though he's included here ("Hop Up Ladies"), he's still tough competition. There's also the still-relevant (and superb) kids' folk discs Circle Game: Folk Music for Kids and A Child's Celebration of Folk Music to slow demand. Finally, you can't blame a parent for being reluctant to fork over more money for a folk disc when he'd just as soon share his old Dylan discs or Bruce Springsteen's recent We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions. That Folk Playground plays like a vital addition to any kids' collection, then, says a lot about this label's ability to distill even the most meandering of genres. Part of it, as with every disc in the Playground series, is the packaging: Not only is it pretty to look at and flip-friendly, each song arrives with a breezy, un-boring explanation. But the music speaks loudest. Standouts on a disc that doesn't shy away from regional folk strands include Eric Bibb's soul-steeped "Just Look Up," Elizabeth Mitchell's gorgeously honest-sounding "Crawdad," Leon Redbone's grown-up sounding "Polly Wolly Doodle," and the Zanes track. --Tammy La Gorce
