Artists, of course, are notable, but I'll guarantee their renderings would never sell a record!

September 30, 2008
I love this Cd. Beautifully done Faith bravo :*) I love the feel of it... reminds me of my childhood. I really love "a baby changes everything" very original and yet timeless at the same time. Don't know what to get the person who has everything? Buy them some joy! Joy to the world!

Don't Come Home for Christmas

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Pop
by: Jeff Dunham

November 04, 2008
Jeff Dunham is a constant as an entertainment option in our household and we have seen Jeff with his friends live twice. The CD though, less than entertaining as it shows the difficulty of keeping voices in character and singing. Jingle Bombs is the best on the CD- which everyone can watch somewhere else while the rest of the CD's adult humor doesn't work for kids and even less for adults. I bought as a combo purchase with The Christmas DVD or I wouldn't have gotten it at all.
Again, LOVE Jeff- not the CD.

Daryl Hall & John Oates- Live at the Troubadour

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Pop
starring: Hall & Oates
directed by: Conor McAnally

November 25, 2008
I just picked this up used at my local record store (yes, we have a couple where I live...envy me!) and I'm not sure why I did but boy am I glad!

Its a very "unplugged" sort of treatment..which I favor over electronica anyway...and the songs really are not hidden behind too much production but the band is very very good.

nearly 20 songs are played 2 hours (much better than all the 1 hour half shows on DVD these days) and Halls voice is still very very good..blue eyed soul. The bonus interviews are also a nice touch..

If you are a fan this should be a "buy it now"...if your not, I'm not sure why you are reading but this would be a good DVD to start with and you will find you know more of these songs ... Read More:

Hit Man: David Foster And Friends

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Pop
by: David Foster & Friends

November 11, 2008
I had always been a fan of David Foster's music, and it was a fantastic surprise to see many of his most wonderful songs in one DVD, performed by several of today's top artists. You will not be using the "FF" button on your remote control with this DVD. However talented Charice is (and she is indeed very talented), the highlight of this DVD are Andrea Bocelli's performances. The Italian tenor is in a league of his own, his voice and emotion second to none, and in this set, he sings three songs that highlight his immense qualities: "Amapola", "Because we believe", and an incredible version (maybe the best) of "The Prayer". Only complain is that Peter Cetera's songs are all abbreviated versions. Wonderful DVD to play over and over again, and to give ... Read More:

Tell Tale Signs: the Bootleg Series Vol. 8

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Pop
by: Bob Dylan

October 07, 2008
So now we are up to Volume 8 in the long running Bob Dylan "Bootleg" series, first started in 1991. The "Bootleg" series has focused on 1960s and 1970s recordings, but this release ventures in new territory, as it looks back on (broadly defined) the last 20 years of Bob Dylan.

When listening to "The Bootleg Series, Vol. 8. Tell Tale Signs - Rare and Unreleased 1989 - 2006" (2 CDs, 27 tracks, 138 min.), the first thing that immediately strikes your attention is that unreleased and alternate tracks from 1989's "Oh Mercy" and 1997's "Time Out of Mind" cover about half this release (13 tracks, to be precise), and simply confirm how much on the top of his game Dyland was at those times. The crowning moments for me are the 2 alternate takes ... Read More:

This is my new favorite CD. And not only mine, but people in my office have highjacked it as well. People who's musical tastes are completely different to mine love this CD. Can't wait for the next one.

Safe Trip Home

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Pop
by: Dido

November 18, 2008
Dido burst onto the scene in 1999 with her multi million selling debut "No angel", an electro/pop/dance affair led by the hit "Thank you" famously sampled by Eminem on his #1 hit "Stan".

Her sophomore disc "Life for rent" saw her heading in a more Folk-y acoustic direction which I didn't like as in my opinion, it largely lacked tunes and was too gloomy (I actually returned the CD to the store and took Aretha Franklin's new disc instead).

Third CD "Safe trip home" sees her returning still treading in Feist/Emiliana Torrini territory, but with her edginess back, probably thanks to featured guests like ?uestlove (from Rap group The Roots), Mick Fleetwood, and Brian Eno.

Opening the disc is the groovy and catchy "Don't believe ... Read More:
