Lisa Loeb - Lullaby Girl $8.99 download
Pull up the covers and relax with Lisa Loeb and a world-class quartet led by keyboardist Larry Goldings. An Amazon Originals release, Lullaby Girl offers fresh and dreamy arrangements of classic songs from a variety of genres. Lisa’s distinctive voice adds intimacy and expression to these familiar melodies. Hushed and meditative, the recording was co-produced with Lisa's longtime collaborator Rich Jacques and Goldings, who is known for his work with James Taylor, John Mayer, as well as many top jazz artists. World-renowned songwriter and guitarist Adam Levy (who tours and records with Norah Jones and Tracy Chapman) also performs. The album was originally planned as a traditional lullaby record for children. As they began the recording process, Lisa, Larry and Rich found a uniquely different path, and it became clear that this would be a record for everyone. “I’m so excited for everyone to hear this collection of classics recorded with an amazing group of musicians. I feel like we’ve come up with a new take on classics that people will really enjoy. We live in a time where everything happens so quickly, but with this album, you’ll be able to slow it all down and relax!" shares Lisa.
Indeed, Lullaby Girl is an album for insomniacs. Lisa's performance reminds us of why songs like “Be My Baby,” “All the Pretty Little Horses,” “Dream a Little Dream,” "What the World Needs Now Is Love" and “Oooh Child” remain classics. Lisa’s original songs “Close Your Eyes” and "Lullaby Girl" flows right in with the pristine arrangements of tunes like Brian Wilson’s “In My Room” and Annie's“Tomorrow.”
Lullaby Girl is the perfect companion to Lisa's other award-winning family music releases Nursery Rhyme Parade! and Feel What U Feel.
Jack Forman (of SiriusXM and Recess Monkey fame) Solo album "Songs from the Monkey House" $8.99 download
Jack Forman is the GRAMMY-nominated host of "Live From the Monkey House" on SiriusXM's Kids Place Live, and a member of the acclaimed Seattle family band Recess Monkey.
This collection of twelve songs is his first solo musical endeavor, stitching together hilarious ideas from phone calls with kids with the same high energy excitement for kids that Jack brings to the air coast to coast each afternoon.
Brady Rymer - "Revvin' Up the Reindeer" (a holiday album) $9.49 download
Following eight albums and three Grammy nominations in the Children's genre, Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could introduce Revvin' Up the Reindeer, a holiday album for the whole family. 13 original tunes celebrate the loving, festive jumble of the season: caroling harmonies, brass and bells inflect the band's roots-y, feel-good sound, recalling beloved Christmas standards yet distinctively fresh and new. The title track is a 50's rock 'n' roll romp, imagining Santa with a souped-up sleigh; lyrical accordion embellishes the Klezmer-inspired ''Rainbow Candles''; the hopeful sing-a-long ''Christmas Wishes'' radiates with a lush, Motown treatment, and the band rings out the old and swings in the new in raucous, Dixieland jazz fashion with ''Baby New Year.'' Whispers of holiday standards weave cleverly throughout, conjuring up the magic of the holiday season. Whether you've been naughty or nice, Revvin' Up the Reindeer will be your new Holiday Jam!
Little Miss Ann & Amy D - Keep On $9.49 download and Little Miss Ann Follow Me $8.99 download.
Little Miss Ann (a.k.a. Ann Torralba), a first-generation Filipina-American is proud to be part of the Chicago Kindie music scene and an instructor at the esteemed Old Town School of Folk Music. She is a former Chicago Public School teacher. This is her fourth album. Little Miss Ann has been called one of the 'most influential kids musicians in Chicago' and 'one of the best local kindie acts' by Time Out Chicago. Little Miss Ann is the founder of the Windy Kindie Chicago Cooperative and co-creator of the Chicago Kindie Sampler. She has guest DJ'ed on the Hilltown Families Variety Show, written about all things Kindie for various websites, produced a popular Nodcast Podcast for the Land of Nod, and contributed a song to Keep Hoping Machine Running - Songs of Woody Guthrie. Ann lives in Chicago with her husband, daughter, and dog.
Little Miss Ann has enjoyed national acclaim and a fervent following for her upbeat, down-to-earth and interactive folksy music. Her fifth album of hopeful and happy songs, Keep On, is the result of a collaboration with children's music newcomer Amy D. Both connected through their dedication to children along with being first generation Filipina American musicians based in Chicago. Keep On ranges in musical styles: Grownups and their offspring both will appreciate the 50's doo-wop sounding song, ''L.O.V.E.,'' the Andrew Bird-meets-Liz Phair ode to Chicago ''The 606,'' as well as re-imagined traditional favorites like the Johnny Cash-esque ''Where Is Thumbkin?'' and a spirited Calypso song that originated in Jamaica called ''Hill and Gully Rider.'' There's even a springy-swingy rendition of ''Tiptoe Through the Tulips,'' blending sweet harmonies, mandolin, and a toy piano.
