Music reviews of This Pretty Planet

Music Review: Teaches importance of taking care of our Earth
Rating: 5 Stars

We originally found/heard Tom Chapin on the kids station of our satelite radio through our TV. We were able to find copies of his CD's at our local library and fell in love w/the songs. This CD is great b/c it teaches our kids the importance of taking care of the Earth. Recycling is an important task we're teaching our children and his cd, This Pretty Planet, does a great job of encouraging them to do just that!

Description of This Pretty Planet

Tom Chapin's music for children has always been conscience-driven. But This Pretty Planet is far and away his most thematically focused work. His musical map is still wide ranging, from the opening brass-band cadence of "Come Blow Your Horn" to the two-step folk pacing of "Two Kinds of Seagulls" and on and on. Chapin's songs here, apropos of the CD's title, all focus on environmental connections and concerns. The title track first appeared on Family Tree, but most of these cuts are newly recorded (or never before recorded). All highlight Chapin's unbeatable knack for involving the hearts and minds of kids. The lyrics turn on tricky phrases that will build kids' vocabularies (and, hence, sense of self) but they also rely on great rhymes, intricate--though never intimidating--musical arrangements, and heaps of humor. Appearances by Judy Collins, Michael Doucet (of Beausoleil), and Dr.?Ruth Westheimer add to Chapin's delightful mix. --Andrew Bartlett
