Just as adult authors from Isabel Allende to Clive Barker are writing kids' books these days, rock & roll artists (remember Jerry Garcia and David Grisman's 1993 recording Not for Kids Only?) are reaching out to the younger set. Thank goodness, we say... and scoot over, Barney. Festival Five Records is the children's music label founded by Dan Zanes, former lead singer of the Del Fuegos, where he hopes to capture "the sound of a neighborhood band on the front stoop playing tunes after dinner for a family dance." His third CD release, Night Time! ("a musical cool-down disc for all ages underground"), comes on the heels of Rocket Ship Beach and Family Dance. Here, traditional tunes such as the West Indian sea shanty "Pay Me My Money Down" and the African American folk song "Down by the Riverside" take their place next to folksy, hypnotic Zanes originals, including "Night Owl," "Firefly," and "Linger for Awhile," a song aimed to reflect Brooklyn stoop life. Mandolins, harmonicas, trombones, fiddles, electric guitars (and more!) add to the contagious buoyancy of this eclectic 16-track CD. Our favorite is "Rattlin' Bog," a delightfully nonsensical cumulative song, led by Father Goose and featuring the kids in the Dandelion Chorus. As in his other CDs, Zanes invites friends and family to join the fun, along with heavy-hitters such as Aimee Mann, Lou Reed, and Dar Williams. This irresistible collection, appealing to toddlers and easy on their parents, is packaged in a colorful board book illustrated by Donald Saaf with starry scenes of moonlit music making. An excellent addition to any children's music library. --Karin Snelson

Different from House Party.......2007-05-14

I ordered this CD along with Dan Zanes House Party CD. My daughter loves the fun songs from the House Party CD better than the Night Time CD. I can't get her to listen to the slow songs on this cd although I really enjoy them.

We love this cd.......2007-02-11

This is in our babies room. Each night when we get ready for bed we listen to this cd. It winds her down a little and makes diaper changing a little more easier for us.

children's music.......2006-10-29

This music is mainly for children but some adults will find something to like about it, too. The music is diverse and creative. Children are sure to like it if you play it for them. Of course, it's hard getting children to listen to music if they don't want to, but give it time and I'm sure they will enjoy this collection of songs.

great music!.......2006-08-05

Our 22 mo. old loves this music much more than the kiddy tunes that mom and dad can hardly bear to listen to.

Dan Zanes Nightime is "Happy Music".......2006-07-27

I was introduced to the Dan Zanes Nightime CD while I was visiting my 3 1/2 year old grandson. He listens to it everynight before going to sleep with "Pay Me You Owe Me" being his single favorite song. I fell in love with the CD because each time I play it I can vividly recall the pleasure it gave us both. The choice of songs on the CD gives all ages something to remember and before you know it you will be singing and dancing along with the music.

More than any children's music release this year, Justin Roberts's Way Out makes you want to buy multiple copies and pass them out to friends--if only to prove that children's music can be unaccountably great. Justin's gift for transplanting himself into the psyche of an 8-year-old lifts him head and shoulders above his goofy-voiced peers. However, simply pinning Justin's talent on songwriting alone sells him short--few others (Dan Zanes, Ralph Covert and They Might Be Giants are exceptions) rock their records as hard. Way Out draws us way in, expertly mowing down musical age barriers and delivering us from the mistaken idea that kidstuff doesn't count. -Tammy La Gorce

Loved this!.......2007-01-09

Every time my son asks me to purchase a "new" Justin Roberts CD I find that it;s better than the last we bought! His music is not just for children, but the whole family.

Way Out CD by Justin Roberts.......2007-01-05

I was fortunate to walk past the librarian's desk and discovered a new CD of his. I LOVED it sooo much i had to buy his others immediately. I am so tired of the typical kids songs we have always heard. He is a humorous, talented lyricist sounding similiar to my favorites - Squeeze and the Cure. I was not disappointed - i can't wait for his next CD.

Wow! The best yet!.......2006-04-25

20 minutes after dropping my kids off at school, I'll realize that I'm still listening to Justin Roberts by myself. Truly great 'kids' music' that adults can enjoy, too.

The beat and brass on this one will get you moving.

Love it!!

Rescued from the Wiggles.......2006-03-16

We discovered Justin Roberts music on XM Kids radio one day, and my entire family was hooked. His lyrics are clever and surprising - and has brought my three kids (ages 5, 3, and 1) to both giggles and quiet thoughts while listening. We dance to "Airplane of Food" and "Daycamp" almost daily, and we LOVE the "Humpty Dumpty" song - it's inspired a game where the kids dream up crazy things that Humpty can see while up on the wall.

We're anxiously awaiting his new "Meltdown" CD release on March 21st, and are proud to own all of his albums. We each have our favorite songs - and the kids (and I) fight over which one to listen to next. We've graduated from the Wiggles, and are never EVER looking back!

Great for kids and parents!.......2006-01-15

This is an upbeat, comical CD with great music for kids and parents. Parents, you'll find yourself listening to this music even when the kids aren't around! This will become your favorite kid music to play, I promise!

Album Description

Imagine a modern day Peter, Paul, & Mary, only edgier, and with a quirky sense of humor. Girlyman creates a rich, playful sound that crosses genres and genders. Their harmony-driven style veers from contemporary folk to country rock and pop. Each member switches off songwriting duties, lead vocals, and range of instruments including acoustic guitar, djembe, banjo, baritone guitar, and mandolin. The Village Voice has described this band as "Really Good, Really Unexpected, and Really Different."

Customer Reviews:

Great CD...Even better live show.......2005-10-06

I saw Girlyman with Dar Williams in Raleigh, NC. Great show!! This CD captures their unique harmonies and quirky edge. Great drive time music to beat the traffic jam blues.

An instant favorite!.......2005-03-11

Not sure how I stumbled across Girlyman, but the group is my new favorite. The great lyrics and gorgeous harmonies have won them a prominent spot on my play list! They're coming to Seattle soon! I won't miss the show!

One of my new favorites.......2005-02-23

It's always a thrill to be pleasantly surprised by an opening act you've never heard of. I first heard Girlyman when they opened for the Indigo Girls last fall, and was absolutely floored. "Say Goodbye," "Viola" and "The Shape I Found You In" are favorites, and their cover of "My Sweet Lord" is fun, although a little safe.

They were a fun band to see live. Girlyman possesses excellent stage presence and good-natured wit. I look forward to more great things from them.

Michael Stipe meets the Indigo Girls.......2005-02-20

I first heard this group on the radioio eclectic webstream. The song was "Fall Stories." I noticed over the course of a month or so that every time that the song came on that I paid more attention to it. They have marvelous melodies that you just wished you could hear more of in mainstream music. I found their website and listened to their album. After one listen I ordered the CD and awaited its arrival. I thought they reminded me very much of the early Indigo Girls. Later on I joined their fan club in the hope they might eventually visit somewhere nearby. They are now signed on to the Indigo Girls record label so I hope there is enough marketing power behind them that they get to make a new album. The only weak song on the album is the remake of George Harrison's "My Sweet Lord." It isn't bad, but just not as great as all the other songs.

Girlyman is incredible see them live.......2005-02-14

Girlyman is incredible see them live, the Remember who I am CD is wonderful, if you don't like this CD you have lost all Musical Taste! Love them Rock On!

Great music!.......2005-02-26

Roger Day is one of the best children's entertainers I have seen. I first met him when I was scheduling him to perform at my children's elementary school. He was a big hit and has been returning every year. I also use his cds with my 3 year old preschool class and they love the songs. Almost every day one of them asks to sing "Helicopter Harry" or "If You Jump on the Bed". His songs are great for dancing and the lyrics are fun and unique. Every song contains a surprise or two. Any of his cds will be an instant hit with your kids.

Roger Rocks.......2004-07-05

We have seen Roger perform locally and my 3 year old son loved him. I ended up buying the CDs and his video. only drawback is I end up having to play them over and over and over.... for my son. The songs are fun, easy to sing to and make you want to get up and dance!!!

Fun songs with your Kids.......2002-01-20

My kids (ages 3 to 10) LOVE to sing along and do a silly dance with Roger's songs and imaginative lyrics.

Rhinos and Monsters and Hiccupopotami OH MY!.......2001-11-12

Ready To Fly is a 35 minute musical adventure limited only by your imagination. Fans of Roger Day's first kid's CD, Rock n' Roll Rodeo, will fall in love with the new set of characters including a hiccupping hippo, parachute-wearing girl, and a little boy named Harry who sprouts "helicopter hair" because he doesn't like to take baths.

Parents and teachers will delight in the lyrics and music as much as their children and will recognize some familiar artists singing background vocals (the Indigo Girls and Nanci Griffith). It's definately not your average kid's record...no syrup-y sweet sounds here...this record ROCKS!--kids and their parents can listen to it over and over again on the way to school, the grocery store, or on a rainy Saturday and not grow tired of it.

I always finish listening with a smile on my face--I feel like a 31 year old kid!

Album Description

This is music for kids with a rock `n' roll heart. Brady Rymer's Parent's Choice Recommended, iParenting Media Hot Product Award, and NAPPA Honors Award-winning "I Found It!" is a hip descendant of the happy, sing-along spirit of Motown, the party atmosphere of the E Street Band and Bruce Springsteen, and the warmth and heart of Bob Marley. Says Rymer, formerly of the RCA roots rock band From Good Homes, "I wanted this CD to be a soulful, funky, feel-good party for kids and their raised-on-radio parents, to show folks just how much fun they can have listening to good, happy music with people they love!" The songs encourage children to creatively explore new and familiar aspects of the world around them, and celebrate small but momentous achievements in a child's world. The infectious "Drawing on the Sidewalk" invites kids to show the world all that's in their hearts by using their imagination; "I Found It!" turns the loss of a loved toy into a celebration of! finding it; "Bathtub Soup" creates a deliciously silly meal from the stuff children bring to bathtime.

Customer Reviews:

One of our favorites.......2006-06-21

My 6 and 8 year old, love this CD. He's also great in concert if you get a chance to see him.

Ok, not great.......2005-09-16

After reading all the reviews, I was expecting to love this CD. But the music starts to all sound the same. It's Brady's version of Bob Dylan-ish music with kid-like beats and words - but much of it is boring. It's not terrible, and my daughter gets a kick out of some of the words, but all in all, I suggest her other music CDs and I wouldn't recommend someone buy this one.

Children's music that is fun for all ages.......2005-02-15

WOW! Brady's latest album is his best. The tunes are growing up (as are our kids). They are still young and fun, and yet "cool" enough to keep our 6 and 8 year old boys' attention.
I especially enjoy the title track "I Found It'.

Your kids will love it and so will you!.......2005-01-06

This is one of those situation where a few years from now, you'll say, "I knew him when..." because there is no better kids music out there. The tunes are great and the lyrics capture the sweetness, silliness, and innocence of youth. Brady has 2 kids of his own and is well aware that kids' music is listened to by both kids AND parents. If your kids are like most, not only do they not mind repetition, they relish it, so it is a huge bonus that this music is so great to listen to. I really like this album, with Look at My Belly a close second, while my son's favorite is Fall Leaves. Buy 'em all and you won't be sorry.

so glad I FOUND IT!.......2004-12-30

This is the children's album we've been looking for. "I Found It" is a pretty apt title. The kids adore Brady's tunes and-- incredibly-- so do we. Nothing against Raffi or baby belugas, but a lot of music aimed at kids is pretty hard to take. Some of Brady's stuff, on the other hand, stands up to the best of adult rock. If your own idea of great music is Neal Young or Dave Mathews, you are in for a treat. We stumbled upon this, then went and bought the other albums by Brady. All are wonderful.

"Oh, the bats (squeak, squeak) sing a squeaky song, and they sing (squeak, squeak) nearly all night long, catching bugs (squeak, squeak) till the break of dawn, then the bats (squeak, squeak) fly away." In Sue Schnitzer's musical world, Halloween is infinitely more fun than scary. A creaking-door sound introduces this folksy, downright perky CD of original or newly arranged children's songs such as "Your Bones" ("your thigh bone's connected to your knee bone," etc.) and a hauntingly beautiful version of "Ghost of John," with deep, mournful cello and flute. First graders from Crest View Elementary School in Boulder sing, scream, or giggle along with these festive songs about pumpkins, skeletons, bats, witches, monsters, and ghosts. Sue Schnitzer sings and plays guitar, but a bass, fiddle, keyboard, harmonica, flute, drums, and a cello join in as well. Pleasantly eerie tunes like "All Skin and Bones" are punctuated by long "ooooohs" and plenty of repetition that make it fun for kids to sing along even without knowing all the lyrics. The CD ends with a minute's worth of very silly Halloween riddles such as "Why did Dracula have no friends? Because he's a pain in the neck." (Maniacal giggles follow.) A few more Halloween jokes speckle the liner notes, along with some ideas for Halloween crafts. Young ghouls and boys will certainly revel in this wonderfully eclectic trick-or-treat bag of Halloween songs. Boo! (Ages 4 to 7) --Karin Snelson

THis is a great collection of catchy Halloween tunes that make young children smile. I have a 2.5 year old and a 4.5 year old. There isn't anything scary about the CD. It is GREAT!!! Infact, at Christmas time, the kids were still asking to play the Halloween CD!!!!

Great Halloween CD for Kids.......2002-10-04

This CD is loads of fun. We can't take it out of our car becasue our daughter always asks for it from the back seat. She enjoys hearing kids singing along and the sound effects. We (parents) like the music and the fact that it doesn't sound like a "kiddy" CD.

My girls saw him at a festival (4 year olds) and LOVED him. We purchased the DVD and CDs. We also met him personally and he is terrific. He should be on Noggin and other children channels!

ALSO, I like the music too!

Fun for everyone!.......2003-05-13

Before Roger Day's children's music career really took off, he wrote contemporary songs and toured the college circuit. It was here I first heard him and fell in love with his music. This CD is full of fun catchy tunes that children and adults will enjoy. I've been to many of his children's concerts and its amazing how the kdis know all the words to his songs; how they stand up and dance and sing along! For the moms and dads who like Roger's lucid voice and easy going song writing style, check out his earlier contemporary cd's from his website.

Definitely Music to Code By.......2007-07-17

I've always felt like, the best music is the kind that truly moves me without saying a single word. Music that gets me toe-tapping and head-nodding almost reflexively. Lifegiving is one such album.

The entire album sounds like it tells a story. One of my favorite tracks is the upbeat "Fire Tamer", which totally sounds like a slightly futuristic new-agey James Bond movie theme song, LOL!

My other favorite track is the breathtaking "Between the Sun and the Moon"... The woodwinds (or violin) in it are just marvelous. As a software developer I don't want to be distracted by words, or too much chanting... just give me some smooth crystal melodies to complement my "Flow" (all you other software developers know what I am talking about). Lifegiving is really music by which you can code and get work done.

Now for the not-so-great (my reasons for giving it 4 stars instead of 5). After several days of listening, I found that too many of the tracks used the same set of instruments at same timbre and pitch. A little overuse of the piano. There weren't (to me) enough "exotic" instruments. And also, there weren't enough tracks that made me go "wow".

Ok I'll tell the truth: I rarely give 5 stars :) This is simply a great album and would make a good addition to any New Age collection. I especially recommend it to people who are still new to the genre.

A New Wave of New Age.......2007-06-09

The hauntingly beautiful music of Australis caught my ear over and over on the various outlets. So, I purchased the CD and found a great new array of what seems to be a New Wave of New Age music. Similar to Amethystium or perhaps Ryan Farish but holding their own. I really enjoy this CD alot and would recommend it to all who are currently turned on by this fascinating new wave of new age. P.S. This is great driving or traveling music!

Jackpot!.......2007-02-23

I received an e-mail one day featuring Australis' latest CD. I have never heard of the artist; therefore, I decided to listen to it on Amazon. Much to my suprise, and after listening to 5 songs, I was convinced that Australis has alot to offer. The music is very relaxing, and very charistmatic.

The magnificent debut of 'Australis'.......2006-02-04

I am a big fan of New Age music and the genre in a big way and I am always looking to listen to new artists from this genre. I came across 'Australis' in a music search and decided to take a punt and purchased this album. I didn't know what to expect so having listened to this album 3 times already. I can say I am pleasantly surprised. This album was released midway through 2005 and the album is New Age with a ambient feel to it. Another great thing about this album is the artwork that shows the care and feeling that went into the production of this beautiful set of work. The front cover is of a butterfly on sanded back paper. The insides of the album on the left hand side is a Mayan symbol (mayan calender).

The music is performed and composed by a lone artist who goes by the name 'Australis'. There are 10 tracks to this album and everyone of the songs is well worth the listen. New Age fans will fall in love with the sensuous and ambient rhythms of this album and each song is a enigma unto itself. The first song is the album namesake 'Lifegiving' - that sets the tone and style of the rest of the album release. The best 2 songs of the album are 'Turning Point' that opens with a bravado of piano skill and 'The Sound of Hope' which brings together a soothing and hopeful sound with flutes, synths and keyboards.

But as I have said, all the songs are well worth a listen and the final song 'Sacred Earth' is a fine ending to what I hope to be Australis' first of several albums. This artist has the brilliant touches of Enigma's Michael Cretu and the flair of Era's Eric Levi. I look forward to more musical masterpieces from 'Australis'.

A genius in New Age Music.......2005-07-16

The first time I heard the song "Between the sun and the moon" I fell in love with it. Australis is a genius in new age music. All of his songs are great to listen to. The songs seem to have a very different yet extremely good beat and melody. You can almost feel your head nodding! I thank God I stumbled upon this album where its so rare to find excellent new age music knowing how easy it is to be carried when people listen exclusively to the most popular new age musicians and discard the rest.

Album Description

How in the world did so much voice, so much talent, so much energy, and sensuality fit into one tiny albeit beautiful body? Answer. Cindy Alexander. Nominated for Best Female Artist and winner of "Outstanding Songwriter" by the Los Angeles Music Awards, Cindy writes songs that people sing along with, and lyrics that they quote to their friends. Cindy's critically acclaimed debut CD "See Red," nominated for L.A. Music Awards 1999 Indie Pop Album of the Year, has 11 tracks - an organic blend of folk, pop and rock with both electric and acoustic elements. "See Red" was produced by Dave Darling (Boxing Gandhis/ Meredith Brooks/ Brian Setzer). She gets compared to Sheryl Crow, Shawn Colvin, Alanis, and Tori Amos, but Cindy is still uniquely Cindy-esque. Her quirky lyrics, multi-faceted mega voice and amazing charisma have made her one of the most popular acts in Los Angeles.

Enchanting voice, creative lyrics, great album.......2006-09-20

I own all of Cindy Alexander's cds and she is amazing! Her songs can make me laugh (Sick of myself) or cry (Time falling down), they evoke so much emotion. Suprising that such a powerful voice can come from such a petite person. This first album is definitely worth owning- a mixture of softer ballads and upbeat songs with unusual lyrics.

A very good singer who writes creative lyrics. She seems to capture the thoughts and feelings that many of us have felt at one time or another.

SMASH IS A MASTERPIECE.......2004-11-19

I don't know how Cindy was able to not name this CD MASTERPIECE. The first song on this cd sets the tone for the entire record. This is a masterpiece. I had only had See Red, was not even aware she had another one and found this when I was surfing the net, through one of those sites that say, "If you like this, check out...." up popped Smash, even more addictive than the first if that is possible. It's the kind of collection that makes you want to go in order each time you hear it and each time you hear new things about it you hadn't noticed before and fall in love with.

Believe the hype!.......2004-09-09

Finally--I've found a kindred spirit! How is it possible that Cindy crawled inside my head, dug through all the cobwebs, swept off the dust, and found an actual name for my pseudo-manic depressive condition? I'm happy to report that this fabulous artist has done just that, AND she gave me a new theme song. That's a lot for one artist to do; she has to be exhausted! Overall, Cindy is a terrific singer/songwriter and vocalist. She has an amazingly versatile voice, and her witty lyrics astound me each time I pop SEE RED in my CD player. (In my mind, Cindy seems like a brilliant cross between humorist Dorothy Parker and Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls. She writes songs that are quirky, hysterical, intelligent, and, at the same time, edgy and poignant.) I ordered SEE RED from another venue (and I hang my head in shame every moment I think of it) a few weeks ago and, after listening to the songs, immediately ordered SMASH at CDBaby.com. I can't wait for SMASH to arrive because I'm on the verge of wearing my copy of SEE RED out! Cindy, you are fantabulous and splendiferous. Keep on rockin', indiegrrl!

3 Cheers for Pnut!.......2004-07-01

See Red is my favorite CD right now. Cindy Alexander is ten times more talented than the majority of the pop divas on the radio. I listen to every song on this CD rather than skipping a few like I do on most records. I highly recommend listening to this beautiful voice.
