This album is loaded with fabulous music for your children AND YOU! There is a great rendition of the traditional alphabet song called Alphabet Dub that is still to the traditional tune (making it easy for children to sing along to) but the background instruments as well as some of the sound effects make it an enjoyable song for adults as well. Who knew the alphabet song could be SO COOL!?! (Elizabeth Mitchell.. that's who!)
Some of the well-known songs are splendid versions of You Are My Sunshine, Skip to My Lou, and Froggy Went A Courtin. Shortly before my grandfather passed away from Cancer the hospice nurses would visit with a guitar and sing, among other songs, You Are My Sunshine. Every time I hear that song I think of those precious memories of spending time with him in his bedroom as a child singing that song, not knowing how many more days we would have with him. So it is extra special to me that thanks to this lovely version of the song, my daughter now knows the lyrics to the song and enjoys it as much as I do, only for different reasons.
The full list of songs are as follows (again, ALL are fabulous!! I listen to this album even when by myself): So Glad I'm Here, Skip to My Lou, Ladybug Picnic, Hey Bo Diddley, Crawdad, Alphabet Dub, Car Car, Ooby Dooby, You Are My Sunshine, Goin Down the Road, Black Jack Baby, Jubilee, Here Comes My Baby, 3 is the Magic Number, Froggy Went a Courtin, and Goodnight Irene.
Happy Listening!!!
