Free Music Notes for The Bottle Let Me Down: Songs for Bumpy Wagon Rides
Free Music Review: Read this review before you buy
Hit: 4 Stars
The high quality of the music on this CD is notable. The version of 'Senor Don Gato' alone is worth the $13.99 pricetag. However this is not a CD for you if you are looking for upbeat, light hearted humor for young children. There are a few songs that many would feel are of questionable content with a significant gross-out factor. In particular, the song 'Godfrey' which in my view is only appropriate for children who are old enough to understand black comedy. The song tells the story of "Godfrey the sickly, unemployed, amateur children's magician". It describes how Godfrey makes magic shows with mucus root-beer floats. The song ends with him in a straight jacket never to be seen again. A couple other tracks "Funky Butt" and I'm my own Grandpa" might not be what you want a preschooler singing.
This is a great CD, but preview the mentioned tracks before buying.
Free Music Review: Great CD
Hit: 4 Stars
We really enjoy this CD, as does our 3-year-old daughter. Classics like "On Top of Spaghetti" are mixed with new songs like "Don't Wipe Your Face On Your Shirt," a particular favorite of mine. In my opinion, Robbie Fulks' song "Godfrey" does work on more than one level -- nothing I think a kid would ever, ever get, but the lyrics did cause me to raise an eyebrow slightly (I mean, this is Robbie Fulks we're talking about... he's got a pretty edgy sense of humor, and let me be clear that I know this because I own several of his discs). I probably wouldn't give this CD as a gift unless I knew the parents well and felt confident they wouldn't have a negative reaction to "Godfrey" in particular.
That said, this is a highly entertaining compilation, and one of the better kids' CDs I've come across.
Free Music Review: fun and unique album for toddlers and their adults
Hit: 4 Stars
This is a fun album. The music is a mix of well-known and new songs sung energetically and with the emphasis on making them fun. The first track, Rosie Flores' Red, Red Robin is terrific, and many others -- Hinky Dinky Dee, Camptown races, On Top of Spaghetti -- will have you cheerfully singing along and teaching your kids the words....Listening to the samples will give you a good idea of the album's style.
Free Music Review: Good CD
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this CD for my daughter - 4 months old and she loves the beats and I love listening to it as well. However, be aware that some of the words to the music are a little strange and some parents might worry if you child is old enough to understand what is being said. But this is a great CD if you are tired of listening to rock-a-bye baby all day long!Free Music Review: Stop the insanity!
Hit: 4 Stars
If you hate typical kids music, if it really sends you around the bend, and if you have even a slight interest in roots country, alt country or bluegrass or such, you should get this disc. You can even listen to it without kids. Listen to some of the samples of course, but it's really a pretty good record.
