Summary: BUY THIS NOW!
Comment: Parents, prepare to have your lives changed! This is GREAT music that you and your kids will enjoy together. DZAF has created something that goes far beyond music that the kids will beg to hear and grown-ups can stand to play AGAIN in the mini-van. This is music that inspires music-making.
Since we "discovered" DZAF, my four year old spends her days singing, dancing, pretending she "is" Dan Zanes, pretending she's playing with Dan Zanes, and learning to play the piano and ukulele (yes, the DZ Flea edition!). She asked Santa for a harmonica. Just that. Is she learning catchy (ANNOYING) jingles about how to tie her shoes? No. Is she learning anything? Yes. Music is math, art, reading, writing, peace, love and happiness! She is learning that making music is bigger than the song; collaboration to create something good gives children a sense of inclusion, unity, curiosity, and goodwill that they carry with them when the song/dance party is over.
On a barely related note, if you have the chance, see DZAF in concert. The only thing better than hearing the music is experiencing the wild, all-ages folk show in person. Our recent concert experience was so incredible, we're driving from Knoxville to Memphis in March to see the band again!
Our faves from this CD are "Hey, Little Red Bird," "Tennessee Wig Walk," "We Shall Not Be Moved," "Wabash Cannonball," "Jamaica Farewell," "Waltzing Matilda," and "Shining Star." Wow, that's a lot of favorites on one CD! I hope your family will be as inspired by the work of this amazing band as mine has been.

Summary: He has better CD's
Comment: I Love Dan Zanes! The problem is his cd's are great and this one is just not as great.
Catch That Train is a better choice for a get up and dance with your kids cd.

Summary: House Party Never Ends
Comment: Dan Zane is one of the best children's musicians out there today!! His music is a diverse and wonderful mix of songs. Both parent and child will find themselves crooning to the songs over and over again. Zane uses folk, classic rock, funk, cajun, etc. to make an album that will broaden your child's cultural horizon. My dauther and I love this cd. Enjoy!!!
