Music reviews of Sea Music
Music Review: Children's music that parents can love.
Rating: 5 Stars
Dan Zanes is fantastic. He produces and creates music that children love and parents too. So many childrens' recordings begin to wear on an adult after the many, many playings that children like to hear. Zanes' music is of such a high calibre that parents will find themselves wanting to hear the songs again also.
Description of Sea Music
On Sea Music, former Del Fuegos frontman turned kid's music songster Dan Zanes performs a set of old sea shanties in a rough-hewn but charming manner. He takes songs that have been worn smooth from constant use, artfully scuffs them up, and restores them to their former "ragged but right" glory. His performance of "Shenandoah," for example, features some fine Leadbelly-style 12-string guitar picking and an anguished vocal that almost erases the memory of the polite, formal choral arrangements that usually smother the song. And his "Sloop John B" sails along on jaunty banjos and mandolins rather than the slick harmonies of the Beach Boys' version. These shanties were originally created by sailors as work songs, and consequently they have choruses that are perfect for singing along. Zanes is joined on many tracks by an enthusiastic chorus of kids who are obviously having a wonderful time belting out the sometimes salty lyrics. As with all of Zanes's recordings for children, adults are likely to find themselves listening to this wonderful music even when the kids aren't underfoot. --Michael John SimmonsGeneral CDs
