Music reviews of American Folk Songs For Children

Music Review: Our heritage
Rating: 5 Stars

This is an important CD to own as it preserves many of the songs from our folk heritage that have been almost forgotten, and many of them are impossible to find recorded elsewhere. Yes, some of the lyrics are a little raw, but they reflect life as it was around the turn of the last century when most of these songs were written.

I like the Seegers' voices. They are not professional singers, but I think that their voices have an earthy, natural sound and suit the material. The kids love the songs too and I have adapted some of them to use with my preschool music classes.

They also have a CD called "Animal Folk Songs for Children" which my kids love.

Description of American Folk Songs For Children

At nearly 100 songs and two CDs, I can think of no better source for getting a child hooked on folk music, or, at the very least, keeping him or her entertained over the longest of rainy spells. Mike and Peggy Seeger draw on a huge array of songs about games, animals, dances, fantasies, nature, and travels. Presented as sing-a-longs for children 10 and under, these songs include the playful "Jimmy Crack Corn," "Froggie Went a Courtin'," "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain," "Ducks in the Millpond," and songs of slightly more serious themes such as "I Got a Letter This Morning," "Goodbye, Old Paint," and "Do, Do Pity My Case." --Roy Francis Kasten
