Music reviews of Catch That Train!
Music Review: Another classic CD from Dan Zanes and Friends!
Rating: 5 Stars
Okay, I admit we're one of those families that worries about the outcome of Dan Zanes and Friends catching on with the masses, as written about in the editorial review above. It's not that I don't wish him the utmost success. I think everyone around the world should definitely "Catch That Train" (pun intended) with Dan Zanes and Friends (what a great party that would be!). I don't even worry that commercial success will change his organic, homespun magic; it's too much a part of him. I do worry that we'll have to catch the live concert at the Hartford Civic Center instead of the wonderful and intimate performance we saw in Woodstock, CT. If you have a chance to see Dan Zanes and Friends in concert, go!! Their immense talent shines through on every CD, but to see them in person is a treat you won't long forget. Mr. Zanes even kindly and graciously waited after the show to meet and sign autographs for a very long line of fans. I do hope that he'll continue to play the smaller venues once the inevitable masses show up.
But on to this new CD... we love it as much as we love all his other CD titles (and we have them all, including the DVD titled All Around the Kitchen). As with every CD, Dan Zanes generously shares the musical spotlight with a wonderful array of musicians, creating a rich tapestry from different cultures, styles and sounds. The result is another CD that is ageless, timeless and makes you happy every time you listen to it. Tracks like "Welcome Table" with The Blind Boys of Alabama, "Mariposa Ole" with the lovely Barbara Brousal, "Country Life" with Donald Saaf and "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie" with Father Goose are just a few of the highlights. Every track is a winner in our book. I dare you not to sing along or get up and dance! I dare you not to listen and smile from the heart!
The editorial review says to pretend that the track "Let's Shake" never happened but while it may not be a song you'd expect to hear on a Dan Zanes' CD, we still like it. I'm a homeschooling mom of two sweet boys ages 5 and 2. This summer we have 27 friends and neighborhood children joining us on a weekly basis for circle dancing, musical movement and old-fashioned, outdoor games. Rest assured we'll be grooving to "Let's Shake", along with other Dan Zanes' songs.
My only disappointment (and this has nothing to do with the CD) is that my husband downloaded it from iTunes and so we didn't get the booklet with the colorful and whimsical illustrations by Donald Saaf. My boys enjoy looking through the accompanying booklets as much as they do listening to the music. So now I'll have to purchase the CD again, only this time with the booklet.
If this is your first Dan Zanes' CD, you surely won't be disappointed. But don't stop there. Every CD from Dan Zanes and Friends is wonderful in a very special sense. Whether Dan Zanes is collaborating with his talented friends, singing an original song or putting his homespun and unique stamp on a classic, you'll be glad you caught the train. But be forwarned -it's a ride you won't want to end!
