Free Music Notes for This Pretty Planet
Free Music Review: best environmental songs ever
Hit: 5 Stars
THIS PRETTY PLANET is the best set of environmental songs I have ever heard and read (lyrics). There are songs for all ages and even those for kids are fun for adults. The major theme of good stewardship is excellent and inspiring. The recycling song is wonderful and kids also dig good garbage. The lyrics are clever. The vocals are great. And the instrumental arrangements are varied and excellent. I write this as a professional ecologist and educator of K-seniors.
This Pretty Planet Poster
Tom Chapin's music for children has always been conscience-driven. But This Pretty Planet is far and away his most thematically focused work. His musical map is still wide ranging, from the opening brass-band cadence of "Come Blow Your Horn" to the two-step folk pacing of "Two Kinds of Seagulls" and on and on. Chapin's songs here, apropos of the CD's title, all focus on environmental connections and concerns. The title track first appeared on Family Tree, but most of these cuts are newly recorded (or never before recorded). All highlight Chapin's unbeatable knack for involving the hearts and minds of kids. The lyrics turn on tricky phrases that will build kids' vocabularies (and, hence, sense of self) but they also rely on great rhymes, intricate--though never intimidating--musical arrangements, and heaps of humor. Appearances by Judy Collins, Michael Doucet (of Beausoleil), and Dr. Ruth Westheimer add to Chapin's delightful mix. --Andrew BartlettChildren's Music Music CDs
