Music reviews of Acoustic Dreamland
Music Review: Independent acoustic "folk" singers lull your kid's to sleep
Rating: 4 Stars
This is another of the sonically diverse CD compilations from Putumayo, and the fifth volume in their "Dreamland" series. This time it is a selection of singer-songwriters playing ACOUSTIC instruments - described in the booklet, as "electric instruments were not used". The list of performers will probably be now to many - they record for small independent record labels (and, in the case of Elizabeth Mitchell's version of the Allman Brothers "Blue Sky", may not have been previously released).
The music is there to help put children to sleep but, because these are not primarily "children's artists", they will easily appeal to the parents (though they too might fall asleep with these (mostly) quiet arrangements. There is Mark Erelli's cover of Wilco's "My Darling" and William Fitzsimmon's take on James Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes". I found the latter song a lot grittier than Taylor's version. Fitzsimmon's voice has more of a Tom Waitts quality.
The 11 tracks clock in at just over 30 minutes - but by then the children will be happily asleep. Many of Putumayo's CDs promote a social cause a portion of the sales proceeds goes to a charity. This notation was missing from the notes on this CD so maybe the project has ended. (Hopefully not.)

Description of Acoustic Dreamland
Parents have been singing children to sleep for thousands of years, and every culture has its own special bedtime songs. The singers on this album are from North America, and the music is "acoustic," which means electric instruments were not used. In this booklet, you'll find the lyrics to the first song, "Dreamland," written by American singer-songwriter Mary Chapin Carpenter. It tells a lovely story about going to bed, entering the land of dreams and the adventures you experience there. You and your parents can read or sing the words together. Happy travels to the land of dreams!Children's Music CDs
