Album Description

A children's album, influenced by James Taylor, Bob Dorough (Schoolhouse Rock) and Randy Newman, Great Big Sun is full of songs that are by turn humorous, educational and poignant yet never lose the wide-eyed naiveté of childhood.·

“Great Big Sun is directly responsible for some of the fondest memories I will have of our twin daughters infancy. In fact, I'm so fond of [Great Big Sun] that I've played it for my own enjoyment when the girls were nowhere near.” - Lou Diamond Phillips, Film Actor

Great CD!! Parents & kids can enjoy!!!.......2007-01-10

My son heard one of Justin's songs on a kids network. I searched for the CD and I'm so glad I tracked it down. ALL of the songs on this CD are catchy and singable - without driving parents crazy if they have to listen to it over and over.

Not just for kids.......2006-06-06

This quirky and smart CD is one that my kids love and is never tiresome to me. I often listen to this CD even when my kids are not around. It is just that good. His puts on a great live show.

We LOVE Justin Roberts.......2005-08-06

My daughter, age 2.5 sings every song on this CD. Little Raindrop being our favorite...along with Everything else starts with E. .... no wait we love the WHOLE thing!! You will too!

Great CD you and your family will enjoy.......2005-07-13

I have been working backwards through the JR catalog and this second title I own by this artist. Great Big Sun is catchy, humorous, intelligent, soulful (yes I said soulful describing a children's album) and positive. The title track (Great Big Sun) sets a high bar and the tone followed by refreshingly creative new spins on counting ('If you got 1'), the alphabet ('Everything else starts with e' and 'a,b,c,d,e'), and childhood ('Apple tree'). The themes are relevant to life, no matter what age. The only negatives compared to 'Way Out' are the run time is a little short at 31:56 and 'Do You Wanna Go' does not fit in with the other songs in speed or tempo. However, this is music you and your family will enjoy..."Aint gonna let no wolf run my life"...

first songs my kids clapped for.......2005-01-11

My boys get so excited when we play this CD. Fortunately, it is very easy for adults to listen to as well. There are a couple tracks on this CD - everytime we here them my 18 month old applauds.

Best "Sing Sing Sing" ever.......2007-03-09

This soundtrack has the single best version of Benny Goodman's "Sing Sing Sing" I've ever heard -- as well done as the original, and, with the benefit of modern recording equipment, much easier to listen to. That song alone was worth the price of the album for me.

Swing me!.......2006-11-10

Of course, 'Sing Sing Sing' is a classic, and it is well played. My other favorite is 'Bei Mir Bis Du Schoen', for sentimental reasons, but it is well sung and makes a great dance. The other tracks are typical soundtrack music to me. They sound fine, but I really got the CD just for the two songs mentioned.

Swing, Swing, Swing..........2006-04-11

SWING KIDS is a fine but obscure movie about young nonconformists in prewar Nazi Germany who rebel against their authoritarian society by indulging in Swing music and dance clubs. Derided by the Nazis as "decadent", "Black" and "Jewish," Swing was banned, and it's adherents were forcibly conscripted, arrested, tortured, and sent to concentration camps. In SWING KIDS, the irresistible pressures of conformity ratchet apart the relationship between three best friends. Sad, yet ultimately defiant, SWING KIDS is a fascinating look at ordinary day-to-day life in National Socialist Germany.

Fortunately, "sad" is not a word that can be applied to the soundtrack, which is rife with Swing classics from Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Count Basie, and others. Some of the records are wonderfully archaic scratchy originals. Others are new orchestrations done for the film.

The downside to this CD is James Horner's film orchestrations which are mostly not Swing, and manage to interrupt the party just as it settles into its groove. It's unfair to complain: After all, this is a movie soundtrack, the guy who wrote the original music for the movie should be on it, and when he's in Swing, he's got that Thing. But having to listen to a cheery little minor key string piece titled "Arvid Beaten" in between "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" and "Jumping At The Woodside" is really disconcerting. Like the soundtrack to YELLOW SUBMARINE, the film orchestrations should have been gathered together on the "B" side (a good argument to bring back the 33.3 record). For myself, I just hit the "Track Forward" button.

Fortunately, the Swing more than outweighs Horner's minor musical distractions. This should have been a five star recording, and could have been a three star recording. I'm giving it four stars. The Swing is splendid.

Dance Dance Dance!.......2005-07-05

Swing Kids is one hellouva cd and one hellouva soundtrack. It represents old swing titles (Swingtime in the rockies, Flat Floot Floogie and Goodnight My Love by Benny Goodman, It Don't Mean A Thing by Billy Banks) few score numbers (Nothing To Report, The Letter, Arvid Beaten, Training For Utopia, Ashes, The Bismarck and Swing Heil composed by James Horner) and few remakes of old swing classics recorded for the movie (Sing Sing Sing, orig. Benny Goodman, Shout and Feel It, orig. by Count Basie, Daphne, orig. by Django Reinhardt, medley Life Goes to a Party/Jumpin' at the Woodside, and fabulous Bei Mir Bist du Schön by Janis Siegel). Sound quality is great and music danceable. I highly recommend this record.

Swing, kids!!!.......2004-05-12

Living in Germany during World War II, but don't necessarily agree with the dictatorship? Well geez, let's rebel by dancing. The Swing Kid movement, as portrayed by this movie, was rather bizarre, considering that they were risking their lives and showing it by dancing the night away. However, the music is light, bouncy and rather catchy, considering many of the tunes on this CD are catchy and jazz standards. One of the downfalls however, is that this engergetic music is paired up with what is often over-dramatic and sullen classical music, to supplement the storyline (you didn't think Hitler would let these rebels have their way, did you?). But when you're in the dancing mood, this soundtrack is definitely well worth it, and if you love jazz music, please do go get this. Just be sure to skip the dreaded, down-tempo classical pieces.

Trout Fishing in America has wide appeal.......2007-04-12

After hearing Trout Fishing in America at a concert in my home town, I decided to buy a CD for my husband and me and one for my 7-year-old granddaughter. When we got together, we played (her) "Big Trouble" and (our) "My Best Day". I don't know who enjoyed it more--the children, the parents, or the grandparents. My granddaughter was soon singing along with "When I Was a Dinosaur" and other favorites on the CD which is not surprising when you consider how many times she listened to it during the weekend. Ezra Idlet and Keith Grimwood are wonderful musicians, clever song-writers, and just all-around great entertainers. Here's to many more years of their audience-pleasing CD's and personal appearances.

Big Trouble is great.......2006-08-09

My favorite is still Family Party, but that's probably because I've had it for years--I bought it even before my son was born. We enjoy Big Trouble, we just have to listen to it more often to really get to know the songs. We especially like the title song--that poor kid, in such big trouble because the monsters have wrecked his house!

Great, Upbeat Music for the whole Family!.......2006-07-02

I used to work at a toy store and believe me we had to play some really bad music, but when this cd was on, the time just flew by. Now I listen to this music with my son. It is really upbeat and is something I would recommend when you need to pass the time like when you're in the car or cleaning up. The songs are creative, not the same old sing alongs you get on all the other kids' music cds.

this is so funny!.......2006-03-10

I HAVE THREE CHILDREN WHEN I PUT THIS CD ON WE LAUGH AND IT'S EVEN FUN FOR ADULTS! I THREW HER OUT THE WINDOW! MY SON WHO WE GOT THIS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY LOVED HEARING THIS ON HIS SCHOOL BUS!HE TOLD ME THAT HE WANTED THIS FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.WELL THANK GOODNESS AMAZON HAD IT AND FOR CHEAP! I NEVER KNEW THAT ORDERING COULD BE SO FUN AND FAST!

The Reason I rarely buy stupid popular character kids music.......2006-01-07

Popular fad kids music willl never be able to compare to the perfection that is Trout fishing in America. Fresh, funny, lively addictive music the whole family will want to listen to together.
I was introduced to Trout fisning in America long before I had kids. My husband had 2 CDs fromhis college days.
Every single son on this tape is memerable. YOu will find yourself singing, or trying to sing along in the case of Proper Cup of Coffee!
There are way too many laugh out loud lyrics, the music is contagious and makes you want to move.
Lastly Lullaby is actually a sweet beautiful piece.
NOt only are they fun songs but these 2 men have great voices!

Album Description

The main instrument is YOU when you sing and bang along with Billy Jonas' new "family/young audience" cd "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" (His'adult/general audience' cd's are listed separately). Billy Jonas' fans will make music in all new ways as they enjoy this award-winning (2002 Parent's Choice Gold Star) collection of 13 interactive songs. Like a virtual song leader at a lively campfire, "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" encourages everyone to use their own voices and any handy item to "sing, dance, snap, tap, clap their hands and join the band!" As with all of Billy's music, the main instrument for "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" is the audience: call-and-response lyrics, open-ended questions, and quiet instructions that inspire movement and imaginative thought. Nearly every song on "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" was inspired by and developed in performances with live audiences. "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" features an amazing amalgam of musical styles, sure to pique the interest of everyone in the family. Each piece employs a mix of traditional instruments and lively "Industrial Re-percussion" (homemade instruments fashioned from found and recyclable objects). Children's voices provide just the right backdrop for singing along. "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" engages listeners on many levels -physically, musically and intellectually. The songs simultaneously invite the listener to dance, do hand motions (learned in concert, or from Billy's video "Bangin' & Sangin'!" or made up by you!), sing the lyrics, answer musical riddles, or bang on a drum or box top. The combination of music, rhythm, and participatory lyrics creates an irresistible oscillation in the mind and body. Billy's unusual outlook on life comes to the forefront on each song, where listeners can get involved in the increasingly hilarious self-exploratory answers to the question "What Kind of Cat Are You?!" "Aliens in My Lungs" makes a convincing case for the extraterrestrial experience of anyone invaded by a bad cold. The slurpy deliciousness of "Watermelon" is completely conveyed by Billy's juicy sound effects. When "Old St. Helen" explodes, people find "pieces of the mountain" in their noses, and feel the "rumble" as they become one with the mountain. A new rendition of the happy classic hit "Lean on Me" will be the perfect sing-along to share among friends, as they "stomp, clap, stomp stomp clap" along with hundreds of people making the catchy beat. Most of the songs are energetic, but the imaginative story-song "Nine-Foot Dragon" encourages quiet listening. At the end of the recording, Billy invites everyone to make a joyful noise with friends and family - using whatever instruments are handy - whether it be "a bucket or a garbage can." "These are powerful tools for concouraging creativity and creating connectedness among people," as Billy says.

Definitely a step up.......2007-07-03

referring to the review above...DOESNT SOUND LIKE REEL BIG FISH!!?!?!??! OH NOES!

anyways...this album is definitely my favorite Big D album, and has, to me at least, revitalized ska for me, since there are so few good new ska bands out these days, since streetlight isnt gonna come out with their new album in at least 239084923974 years.

definitely slower in some areas, and a little less punk and more reggae and dub. but theres still certain song that are straight up punk/ska, like noise complaint.

the songwriting is really great, and overall its just a good album

Best Big D album to date!.......2007-06-18

You don't have to be from Boston to appreciate this cd. Big D has matured both musically and lyrically on "Strictly Rude". I love it more each time I listen to it. "Steady Riot", "Noise Complaint", "Snakebite", "Strictly Rude", and "She Knows Her Way" are real stand-outs.This cd is a must for Summer 2007, esp. if you love ska and reggae. Play it at your house party or backyard BBQ. Big D are even better live -they outshine all the other bands with whom they play and are really fun to watch- without question. Check them out on the upcoming Warped tour.

Big D brings it!.......2007-04-24

This solid 3rd-wave ska record cements Big D in the Boston music pantheon (as if they weren't already somewhat revered). Bringing elements of their punk roots, dope ska and classic reggae and dub, "Strictly Rude" is a solid party album not to be missed. From angst and politcal railings of tunes like "Snakebite" and "Raw Revolution" to fun party jumpers like "Noise Complaint" and "Shining On," the band has grown musically, the song writing just gets better and better, and the instrumentation and horn arrangements are flawless.

Must have for fans of ska!

Doesn't sound enough like Reel Big Fish or Hepcat.

Produced well and executed wonderfully.......2007-03-21

A surprisingly well rounded effort by Big D. With some of their louder material appearing on recent EP's and splits, this record is a bit tame, but brilliant. Some of the best songwriting the band has ever done.

This cd is ok.......2007-01-10

I don't see how it is really sleepy time music, it never lulled my baby to sleep. But it is really pretty to listen to or to have as just background music when trying to calm your child when starting your night routine.

Delightful for baby and me.......2004-09-09

This is the most fabulous CD ever created for soothing a baby. Not only does it soothe my little guy to sleep, but it helps me relax as well. I couldn't live without it. We listen to it every night and still aren't tired of it after 18 months. (I can't believe anyone wouldn't enjoy this CD. . .if they don't, they must be listening to it on a tin box during a rain storm.)

I would not buy this CD.......2003-11-03

I bought this CD with the hopes that it would put my children into a sleepy state.I tried it over 11 times with no success.
The music sounds like it was recorded in an echo chamber. I like the CD's I find on the Mozart Effect website.This one does not work.

It just did not work !.......2003-11-03

I would assume that a CD entitled Sleepybaby would put a baby to bed. Well this one kept her up and was not effective. I went to www.themozarteffect.com to complain and found out that there is another CD called Music for babies that really does work.It is by a man named Don Cambell

This tops my list of must-haves!.......2003-05-10

This CD is wonderful. I enjoy it as much as my 1 year old daughter. We've been listening to it for 9 months and it is incredibly peaceful and soothing. From now on, I will be giving it as a baby gift to friends and family.

Peaceful music both you and your baby can play/work to!.......2007-01-10

I love this whole series! They are beautifully done and enhance the mood simply stated as the title! I got this cd after listening to and incorporating "Sleepy Baby" and "Peaceful Baby" into our regular nap and bedtime rituals. The "Cheerful Baby" is a great addition. My now 6month old son gets really calm and at peace when he hears the music and can focus on his play development. They are traditional symphonic melodies without any of the kitchy kid neuances which makes these a must have for enjoyment and brain development! Great for anyone of any age!!!

recommended by mom with an out-of-sync kid.......2006-11-04

Our occupational therapist recommended these Advanced Brain cds for our son with (mild) sensory processing disorder. We play this cd when the little man wakes up in the morning and from napping, and it has made all of the difference. He is happier, and doesn't lose his temper, or melt down quite as easily. I am talking about extremely regular and consistent playing, but it really seems to be working. I don't know how or why it is making him a happier kid, I just know that he is.

Cheerful Baby and The Music for Babies Series.......2003-02-15

Review from Pregnancy Buyer's Guide.

The new Music for Babies series from ABT is something I will recommend to everyone I know!

I was so thrilled to hear well-known classical pieces, traditional folk melodies and nursery rhymes played by classically-trained musicians on "real" acoustic instruments.

The choice of instrumentation is perfect for Baby's ears, and all selections are beautifully-arranged so that you will actually like listenign to them as well.

I can't say enough about this wonderful CD series!

Customer Reviews:

soothing.......2007-02-14

My baby is 8 weeks old and only falls asleep while being held. The first time I played this CD for her, I had to put her down before she was asleep. I heard her fuss a little, then nothing. When I peeked in on her, she was asleep! Obviously she enjoys this soothing music.

Perfect Baby Gift.......2007-01-11

I love this CD. Wonderful for rocking your grandchild to sleep!
Makes a wonderful baby gift, easy to mail.

Relaxing for Mom too!.......2007-01-04

I went on reviews from this site and you didn't steer me wrong! I love this CD and my twins (now 10 mos) seem to like it too! We listen at naptime, and sometimes I pull it out of their room to soothe my frayed mind as well. The arrangements are wonderful. I only wish there were details about each cut.

Beautiful music.......2006-06-03

I really love this. We have used it for three years. The first track is the most beautiful. It was great for relaxing to nurse an infant and we still play it for our toddler as he drifts off. It certainly does not make a child go to sleep, it's just really nice, relaxing classical arrangements that are pleasant for both parent and child.

Good CD! I have tried others.......2005-01-12

I don't get some of the other reviews. If you need to use a CD for a good nap, try the Sleepy Baby CD.
I set this CD in loop mode every night and it is fine.
It's pretty good to use as a background music. Others CDs wake up my son in specific songs. This one is soft but not too quiet like the ones with wave sounds behind the music.
Always use some music at night so your baby won't get used to silence in order to get sleep. Now he can sleep when we have some company. We only need to put some background music like this excellent CD. Try it!
