Rambling Boy

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Charlie Haden

September 23, 2008
Quite a curiosity, this latest album from Jazz bassist Charlie Haden. With his family and friends about him, he draws together various strands of Americana. Jack Black gives a fine belting performance (really, two vocal interludes in an instrumental) of Old Joe Clark. Roseanne Cash gives a creditable performance of Wildwood Flower but, having heard Karen Mal's perfect rendition of this beautiful Folk song, I'm afraid I'm spoiled for any other version. Petra Haden's rendition of The Fields of Athenry is my favorite track. A folk song with lengthy Jazz sections, which suit it very well, it merits classic status.

Ricky Scaggs, Elvis Costello and others are also featured.

The penultimate track is a brief extract from ... Read More:

The Christmas Collection

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Amy Grant

September 30, 2008
It isn't the first snowflake drifting from the heavens or the smell of evergreen which signals the approach of Christmastime for most of us, but the first Amy Grant song we hear playing. Perhaps no artist is more associated with snow and holly and the Holiday Season than Amy Grant. It seems almost everyone has Amy playing in their homes at some point during November and December. This new release is by far the most encompassing collection yet of Amy's wonderful Christmas gifts to fans. There are even a few new songs included here.

Everything about this new collection is perfect. Pretty paper and pretty ribbons adorn the cover with a very pretty Amy, appropriately covered in snowflakes. Elegance and fun blend seamlessly for the perfect ... Read More:

WOW Hits 2009

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Various Artists

October 07, 2008
maybe listening to the latest songs for the past 2 months doesn't give me the right to write critique what's hot but honestly, i feel they coulda had more songs on there. sure, mercyme's God with us and Chris Tomlin's Jesus Messiah, Matthew West's "You're everything" is on it and yes, i like francesca B's 'i'm letting go'... but some of the other songs the make me go "huh?!", maybe i've heard them on the radio and don't know the titles for sure. I'm wondering why they didn't use hillsong's version of 'mighty to save'. that aside, i think there are top songs they coulda used. i wonder who dictates what songs get on this wow. i mean, they coulda added "here i am" by downhere, big daddy weave's 'what life would be like' alright, i may be asking for too much ...

Revelation

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Third Day

July 29, 2008
This cd Revelation by Third Day spoke to my heart. I rocked, I worshipped, I praised God in a way I never have done outside of church before. It was as if these songs were written just for me... and it will feel that way for anyone who hears this cd.

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Various Artists - Soundtrack

December 05, 2000
This soundtrack is nothing short of a cultural revival. If it took a wonderful movie and its soundtrack to bring this music back to the forefront and garner the attention it received and deserves, so be it.

What better way could there be to reintroduce such wonderful music? At the moment I can't think of any.

Like many have said before there's not a bad track. This soundtrack is full of surprises and rich nuances that make it a joy to listen to over and over again.

Even if you haven't seen the movie this soundtrack is worth getting.

The Altar and the Door

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Christian and Gospel
by: Casting Crowns

August 28, 2007
This is an awesome album from the amazing Christian group Casting Crowns. You can't go wrong with this album. Amazing and worth the buy! I think if you like Casting Crowns you'd probably also like my current new favorite artist I found through myspace. I think they'll be as big as Casting Crowns and already starting to see a huge interest in them. See my other reviews for The Warehouse Band

This group was new to me, but I like their sound. The message in the words is a little light, though.
