by
Laurie Berkner
Victor Vito represented a significant step ahead in instrumental ambition for Laurie Berkner. Her first two albums used very limited production, consisting primarily of simple acoustic guitar and piano parts. Those records seemed to be fairly straightforward recorded versions of the songs Berkner wrote for her preschool music classes. But every ...

Bruce Springsteen
We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions is an unusual Bruce Springsteen album in a number of ways. First, it's the first covers album Springsteen has recorded in his three-decade career, which is a noteworthy event in itself, but that's not the only thing different about We Shall Overcome. Springsteen, a notorious perfectionist who has been known ...

Putumayo Kids Presents: Folk Playground

by
Various Artists
The Putumayo Playground line of records has a sophisticated feel to it in a sense. The music is chosen for kids' enjoyment, but it's rarely dumbed down. It's basic world music, but with a tone and tempo that fits well for kids. The albums are surprisingly suitable for adults as well though, given the breadth of music and content. On Folk ...

With Young People in Mind

more music like this
by
Richard Dyer-Bennet
Ostensibly this might have been geared toward children, but it's actually for the most part traditional English ballads and American folk songs that were pretty typical of Dyer-Bennet's repertoire. Thus it's a folk album that could be appropriate for either kids (not necessarily real young ones) or adults, sung and performed plainly by Dyer-Bennet ...

American Folksongs for Children
(1996)
more music like this
by
Peggy and Mike Seeger
The nearly 100 songs collected on this two-disc set aren't necessarily for children (some of them, like the dark "When the Train Comes Along," have death as a theme, and others, like "What Did You Have for Supper," are floating snippets from large and tragic British ballads), and siblings Peggy and Mike Seeger certainly don't sing them the way Mr. ...

The Essential Doc Watson

by
Doc Watson
It's a measure of how succinct Doc Watson's interpretations of traditional music are that this 26-song collection is one of the few Vanguard double-LP compilations to make it onto CD completely intact, with no songs eliminated, and it still clocks in at under 70 minutes. It's also one of the better sounding of the Welk Music Group's mid-'80s CD ...

Similar to the 2002 "reissue" of Smithsonian Folkways' American Favorite Ballads, Vol. 1, the second volume is not a straight re-release of the 1959 Folkways LP, but it is part of a newer five-disc series incorporating not only Pete Seeger's American Favorite Ballads albums, but also tracks from similar Seeger projects from that era, like his ...

This compilation of Burl Ives' work aimed at the kids' market tends somewhat toward the twee and saccharine, though there are moments of genuine amusement here and there. "The Lollipop Tree" and "The Lavender Cowboy" come immediately to mind (the latter having to do with a luckless gunslinger who had only two hairs on his chest). Steven McDonald ...

This fourth and final volume of recordings Woody Guthrie made for Folkways and other small independent labels is just as remarkable as its predecessors. This time around, the focus is primarily on cowboy/Western music, and Guthrie -- who is accompanied by Cisco Houston on many of the 26 tracks -- proves himself a master of the genre. The program ...

You don't have to be a kid to appreciate this collection of children's folk songs, which are drawn from previously issued CDs on the Red House label.
