Children's Favorites, Vol. 1

Search: This Old Man (Knick-Knack- Patty-Whack)
by: Disney

Release Date May 23, 1990
This, like the other disks in the series, is a wonderful compilation of Americana -- "Folk music" in the pre-1960's sense of the term, meaning songs that parents have taught to their children for generations in America. Most are over a century old, but a few new songs are thrown in for good measure; by and large, the new songs fit well into the collection. The primary singer is occasionally accompanied by a kid's chorus, which keeps the overall sound "clean" and non-irritating to adults, and seems to have helped my 3-year old son pick up the lyrics quickly (he is working on Take Me Out to the Ballgame right now).

Disney's 100 Children's Favourite Songs

Search: This Old Man (Knick-Knack- Patty-Whack)
by: Disney

Release Date September 04, 2001
I did a lot of looking around before deciding to buy this for my son. I was reluctant due to very little information about it. I'm very happy with it and glad I bought it. The singer is terrific, a necessity as he sings in all the songs (sometimes accompanied by some children's singing and various voices and sound effects). The singer is Larry Gross, who sounds just like the host of Mountain Stage of the same name (I was unable, after much searching, to find out if it's the same person). The band is also excellent. I'm not a music critic, but I'm something of a musician, and I know good music when I hear it. Most of the songs are very upbeat and cheerful except where appropriate (slower songs, etc.). Many music genre's are represented with ... Read More:

A great selection of songs that easily encourages a sing-along in the car! Highly recommended for any child (yes, I am guilty of listening even when there are no kids in the car with me).

the songs on here are nice, but average. I thought it would be more filled with character fun.
