Having boys who are big fans of the Disney film Cars I had to snap this CD up when I saw it. The cover of the CD has a picture of Mater and Lightening McQueen and the title at the top in white lettering and also writing at the bottom saying that this is the sing along version with a song book included. The back of the CD again has a small picture of Mater and Lightening at the side and the track list on a red background to the other side.
1 - Real Gone - The lead vocals on this track are by Laura Lynn. The song has a kind of rock feel and is very lively.
2 - Life is a Highway - The lead vocals on this track are by Neil Donell. The song has a real up tempo feel and always makes me feel good when I hear it.
3 - Find Yourself - Lead vocals are by David Jeremiah. This is one of the slower songs which does have a nice country feel to it.
4 - Behind the Clouds - Lead vocals are by David Jeremiah. This song is definitely a country and western style of song but it does have a great easy listening feel as well.
5 - Our Town - Lead vocals again by Neil Donell. This is another slow song on the CD and has a lovely ballad feel with some great lyrics.
6 - Route 66 - The lead vocals again are by Neil Donell. This track takes us back to the rock and roll style of song. The beat and music is great and has the feel good factor.
7 - Sh-Boom - The lead vocals are by Wade Brown. This song always reminds me of the 1950's American music. It has a great beat and always gets me tapping my feet!
8 - My Heart would know - The lead vocals are by Craig Toungate. The beginning of this song has a Hawaiian feel with the music, but it then moves into a proper country and western song.
All of the 8 song are then repeated but with out the lyrics, these are the sing along versions. The song book is included inside the CD and has the words to all 8 songs. Inside the songbook are also some great pictures showing characters from the film. The print in the song book is quite small so it may be hard for some people and children to read but children ill soon pick the words up if you sing along with them.
MY OPINION
Me and my boys all love this CD. There is a nice wide range of music from rock to Country and Western. We do find we are singing along to the vocal versions of the songs as well as the ones without.
When we first purchased the CD we did find we would skip the non-vocal versions of the songs but now we are getting to know the words we do have great fun trying to sing them.
The songs are all well know ones from the film and will have you remembering the places where they appear.
INFO
The CD was produced by Ted Kryczko and Jeff Sheridan and was made under licence to EMI records Limited in 2006.
I paid a bargain price of £2.99 for my copy from Morrison's so do shop around and make sure you too get a good bargain. I do have to say though that I have not seen this CD for sale in many places.
I do highly recommend this CD to all fans of the film and it is suitable for children and adults of all ages.
