COMMENTS & REVIEWS |
We'll be posting some reviews here of our albums from magazines and web sites, plus some comments from folks who have visited our site and sent us a note thru our Contact Us page. "I
am a 39 year old Beaver scout leader from Portsmouth Hampshire,
ENGLAND. I came across your site while looking up things to print
for a group project. I hope you get this mail and send a comment
back as I have been humming about "yellowberry jam" for
a week. My nine and ten year old kids are going to delete it off
the computer if I keep on playing it. I also love "waterslide".
Your music has caused a total division in my family, my husband
aged 43 and I aged 39 like it loads and the kids don't. My ten year
old boy is a metal freak and the 9 year old daughter is a dance
and rave fan. I haven't had this much fun with anything since I
looked after the school tarantula and it got "loose".
I have always liked your style of music, but what puts the tin lid
on it for me is the subject matter. It is great." My
kids this year love that CD...“Yellowberry Jam” by Chuck
Brown. They love to get up and dance to it! "Ohio
pianist and former kids' radio show host Chuck Brown enters the
music scene for children with 13 original songs, accompanied by
guitar, acoustic slide guitar, keyboards and drums. The musical
styles include bluegrass, calypso, Latin, swing jazz, rhythm &
blues, and several varieties of pop. A child's mom puts "Yellowberry
Jam" on everything to help him eat foods he doesn't like much.
A traveler decides he doesn't like the "Galapagos" and
will go elsewhere for his next vacation. The great fun of a "Water
Slide" is extolled in surfer pop style a la the Beach Boys.
When "Tya Tore a Tortilla", mayhem ensues at a Mexican
restaurant. "Inside These Pages" will please librarians
as the song promotes the magic of books. "Most
Children’s music...is pretty bubble gum, where you get so-so
music and mundane lyrics that serve to irritate the parents much
to the delight of the children. Chuck Brown is the exception to
the rule as you can see he made a concerted effort to make a fun,
yet not meaningless album...He simply is one of the best song writers
out there and not enough people know that yet...After the second
song, most will note that there are tons of references to places
and foods which lead to inquisitive questions from kids to the parents,
tempting you to turn off the CD, but I doubt your children will
let you...You have to respect the way that Chuck intricately links
the song order with God, learning and joy! It’s not a simple
thing to write catchy songs, sing, produce, promote and then perform
a children's CD, and anyone involved in the growth of our children
needs our prayers and financial support. Kids are a blessing and
so is Yellowberry Jam." "Your CD has made my kids' world.
They ask for it now...it's so cute! You are the best. My husband
and I just walk thru the day singing "Yellowberry Jam".
This stuff is amazing!" "Chuck Brown has recorded three
CDs of piano-based music, but ventures into new and fun territory
with a group of friends affectionately called The Chuckleberries
on Yellowberry Jam, a collection of catchy and silly songs for kids
that, as he puts it, fills the gap between Barney and Britney." "Chuck
Brown has created this very adventurous album targeted primarily
toward Preschool thru Grade 2 and the quality and sophistication
of the material makes "kids music" much more palatable
to older siblings and parents. Chuck's lyrics don't "talk down"
to kids and challenge their knowledge and imagination. "...an eclectic mix of fun and
informational songs geared toward children in the preschool to second-grade
age category..." |
