Talkin' Broadway -Rob Lester- Peas And Honey
a warm and fuzzy CD
See Talkin Broadway website for entire review: "With tracks titles like "Peppermint Dreams," "Sweet And Low," and "The Sugarplum Tree," you can be assured of a fix for your sweet tooth. This is a children's album that features a child singer as well as some Broadway musicians taking a holiday from the pits of shows like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Rent, Spelling Bee and the kid-friendly Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. "....."Embellishing with music, a few sound effects and more words, they have come up with a warm and fuzzy CD with no apologies for its old-fashioned (let's say "timeless") feel. Enough producers of kiddie fare try to make their product "contemporary" with loud, cheaply done, watered-down rock sounds. It's encouraging to know that some people believe children will respond to poems and interpretations that are cute without being calculated. "...."Jennifer has a very appealing vocal quality, energetic yet soothing, and certainly youthful....has a bit of a little mermaid quality swimming through her voice"....."The music is likably accessible throughout, simple but not simplistic. With a healthy dose of comforting sounds and lullabies, it would make a good bedtime album.....Pleasant dreams!"
