Music reviews of You Are My Little Bird
Music Review: The best children's CD out there
Rating: 5 Stars
I bought this CD a year ago and have enjoyed it more than any other children's CD I own. Elizabeth Mitchell has a beautifully simple voice and tonal quality that is extremely easy on the ears. My adult children, and their babies love to listen to her as she is upbeat but also relaxing. Her lyrics depict a love of and understanding of nature and it's creatures in a time when, so often, kids are inside on computers and needing, so badly, the connection to mother earth and her bounty. I bought all three other CD's and would, in a minute, purchase any other music she would record. My little grandchildren love "Little Bird" and in fact, sang it about their new "visitors" when I purchased bird feeders and a bird book for them.
Description of You Are My Little Bird
Your kids will listen and you???ll be singing along. Not your typical CD for kids, this one is a mix of new, classic, & multicultural songs from an amazing mother, father, child trio. You???ll fall in love with the acoustics, harmonies, and lilting melodies. Catchy tunes inspire a new sense of ease & wonder. Mitchell???s little girl accompanies vocals, making it positively charming and even more appealing to young children. You???ll find yourself playing this CD with variations on classics by Bob Marley, Neil Young, and even the Velvet underground, more often than you can guess. Fantastic for a new baby, this CD is one that parents enjoy every bit as much as the kids. It makes a cool and meaningful gift. Elizabeth Mitchell stands consciously and directly in the tradition of children's music. This CD features homespun renditions of songs by Woody Guthrie, Bob Marley, The Velvet Underground, Vashti Bunyan, Gillian Welch, and more. Her lovely voice brings a fresh sound to cherished American folk songs and other melodies from around the world. In a peaceful yet powerful way, this CD reintroduces us to the songs we thought we knew so well. You Are My Little Bird - Elizabeth Mitchell Acoustic Guitar, Unforgettable Songs, Beautiful Voices Voices of Elizabeth Mitchell, Her Husband & Daughter. This CD is 34 Minutes Includes a 28 Page Booklet Includes Songs Such as Little Liza Jane, Three Little Birds, & Buckeye Jim All AgesElizabeth Mitchell is to children's music what a band like True Love is to indie rock: an insider's darling. Which can only mean one thing: any day now, she's going to blow up huge. You Are My Little Bird, Mitchell's third kids' CD and her first on the well-respected Smithsonian Folkways label, hews closely to the folkie-but-never-hokey sensibility she laid out so beautifully on the first two records. Here are 17 short, soft, sweet, homespun-sounding songs, some of them easily recognizable ("Peace Like a River," "Three Little Birds," "Down in the Valley"), some of them inexplicably obscure (Neil Young's "Little Wing," Gillian Welch and David Rawling's "Winter's Come and Gone," Francois Hardy's magical "If You Listen"). Throughout, even on tracks where her young daughter joins in, Mitchell's warm whisper of a voice compels a close listen, not just because the production is so spare you can practically feel her breath on your cheek but because there's something in her phrasing that suggests an old, wise soul. Miraculously, the bird concept never gets clunky; two exotic foreign-language songs--one Korean and one Japanese--help, but the real credit belongs to this all-around superb disc's sole stab at the subversive: Mitchell's stamp on "What Goes On," the Velvet Underground favorite, practically sails off the disc with its sunniness. --Tammy La Gorce
