Hey Phil,
Wow! We only share one top 10 record of 2007. Amazing...I guess that means there was plenty of awesome kids music released this year.
I need to check out some of the music on your list.
PHIL! Wow the timing! I was just thinking today how I wished I knew about some cool kids music everything I got from the library wasn't that great. Thanks for sharing! -Becky
I love your kids music reviews!
By the way, congrats on making it halfway through NaBloPoMo! We're in the home stretch now!
Thanks so much for this list! We are always looking for good kid's music. Have you heard Justin Roberts? He's one of our favorites, along with They Might Be Giants. However, my 3 year old's favorite artist is Shakira! I'm more into the kid's music than she is.
Justin Roberts actually got the top spot in last year's poll -- see here for the results. We love him at our house too.
And TMBG's new kids' record comes out in February (and is terrific); I expect it'll be a popular vote-getter a year from now...
Shakira...not so much for us. :)
That's a great list! Thanks.
Have you heard KINDERJAZZ? You can have a listen at www.cdbaby.com/kinderjazz
We'd love to know what you think. It's music that's not just for kids. Adults love it too.
Regards,
Christobel Llewellyn
