Music reviews of 40 Winks (Rpkg)

Music Review: Not really for children
Rating: 2 Stars

Jessica Harper has a rich, clear voice. She avoids that saccharine, cute quality that is so often foisted off on children. The songs she sings are a combination of soft jazz and folk. The lyrics are clever and intelligent.

However, Harper's music, in my professional experience, will impress the adult who buys it more than the child whom it is supposed to be for. Harper's music doesn't have the energy that appeals to children, and her subject matter doesn't connect with children. Her tapes and CDs don't get checked out of our library.

A parent who has an exceptional child might coach the child into enjoying this album, but most children will be much happier with something by artists who have a natural talent for connecting with children. Try something from Peter, Paul, and Mary or Tom Chapin, instead.
