Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Raffi seems to be the driving force behind Bright Spaces, a benefit album whose proceeds will be distributed by the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children for homeless kids living in shelters. Out of the 16 tracks here, the ubiquitous children's music superstar contributes four, including one of his most memorable, "All I Really Need." And in an inspired moment, Arlo Guthrie joins his late famous father, Woody, for a father-son duet of "This Land Is Your Land," the other American national anthem. With songs by Sweet Honey in the Rock, the delightful Jessica Harper, John McCutcheon, singer-activist Si Kahn, David Mallett, Cathy Fink and Marcy Marxer, and others, Bright Spaces generates its own special brightness and sheltering warmth. Along with the theme song from Arthur and Friends by Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers, Bright Spaces features a funky and unforgettable call-and-response gospel version of "Old MacDonald" by Jane Sapp's Dream Project. From Sapp's great We've All Got Stories, this cut alone is worth having for kids and adults. --Martin Keller

Elizabeth Mitchell is a smidge less locked into the no-frills folkie formula on You Are My Sunshine than on her debut, You Are My Flower. In fact, if you subtract the A-list collaborators (and, OK, the dulcimers, mandolins, and human beat boxes), Mitchell starts to look a lot lik...

Reviews:

Father and Son Reunion
Priceless: Arlo and Woody Guthrie singing "This is my land" together. Reminded me of how I tried to learn the song as a kid, and now I'm enjoying this remix with my own kids. What a wonderful surprise.

Good travel music
This is a good CD of travel music that does NOT drive my husband nuts. We call it the 'Arthur' CD, as the first song is the Ziggy Marley song that is the credits song for the PBS series ("And I say HEY! What a wonderful kind of day...") I appreciate the mix of artists and 'listen-able' music. PLUS it's for a good cause. A CD that my first grader and 3 yr old both like to listen to. And it doesn't make daddy crazy.

what a nice compilation
Nice selection of songs. A pleasure to listen to. Too bad the CD 2 is not as good as this one (too "folk / country" for my taste...)

Guaranteed to put you in a good mood!!
This is my favorite CD right now; it has been since I bought it more than a month ago. And I'm a grown-up! I love the songs by Ziggy Marley, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Raffi, and (most of all) Cathy and Marcy. All those warm fuzzies *and* your money goes to build safe and enriching play spaces in shelters for homeless families.

Not just for kids
What a great cd to have in your collection. As a preschool teacher this cd is a staple in my classroom. It is also good to have in the van at all times. It is a wonderful collection of songs by some wonderful artist. My favorite song is the version of Old MacDonalds farm. The songs are fun and exciting. Not to mention the proceeds help out children living in homeless shelters. This is a must have for anyone!
