Music reviews of Smithsonian Folkways Children's Music Collection
Music Review: Proves that even children's songs can be outdated...
Rating: 3 Stars
This is one of the least successful efforts by the normally superb Smithsonian producers who comb the archives of Folkways Records to re-issue performancs from the 1940's through the '70's in new combinations. It is uneven, and the international world culture tracks on here, at least to me, clashed with the American traditional songs. Part of the problem here is that children today grow up way too fast, and most kids older than five would be bored by this collection. I know six-year-old girls who are already enamored of "Hanna Montana" and who have already seen the DVD of "Rent" and "Phantom of the Opera" and who have memorized "High School Musical." Woody Guthrie's "Riding in my Car" or Pete Seeger's "I had a Rooster" just won't cut it with today's pre-pre-pre teen crowd. Now in fairness, I do think half of the tracks on here would hold the interest of kids under age five, at least for a few listens. Most of these recordings, however, belong to an era in which television was non-existent or primitive, and somebody in every house played either guitar, banjo or piano and sang for family entertainment. It was in some ways, a better culture, with stay-at-home moms and more active kids, and in some ways, worse (racism, sexism, smoking, poverty, and such.) I hate to believe this, but unless you have an adult who can sing these songs live for kids, I don't see any point in buying this for today's hip toddlers.
