Clubhouse [Remastered] - Dexter Gordon

Advantages: Fun, cheap and features songs from the TV show
Disadvantages: The changed the Original theme tune (confusing for adults)

...This is a fun CD with 18 songs, some original some a new spin on old classics. They are easy to listen to and it does not take long until you find your children and youself singing along. Unlike many disney CD's mickey mouse clubhouse has the actual characters singing the songs. One of my favourites is Goofy singing his own version of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Also, unlike many childrens CD's a lot of the songs on the CD are featured in the television show. A lot of the songs are a different spin on the original which helped to extend my daughters vocabulary. Overall a fun CD, at a good price, under £4 in most places and a good substuite if you want to cut down on the TV.... Read review

Well what can i say, if you haven't heard this late great legend play then i do recommend buying this cd. I can honestly say that he was one of the best bagpipers in the world, and it was a huge shock when he passed away. His playing in this cd is phenomenal, from the traditional march, straspheys and reels, to his own unique compositions, one of which is the title name of this album. Track listing 2/4 Marches - The marches are Glengarry Highland Gathering, Bonnie Ann, and Renfrewshire Militia. Gordon plays these 2/4's with great fingering technique. The '98 Jig - The Trip to Moreda, Jig o' Beer, The '98 Jig The Belly Dancer - This track... Read review

Disadvantages: None

...Barenaked Ladies got its start in 1988, when childhood friends Steven Page (vocals/guitar) and Ed Robertson (guitar) discovered they enjoyed singing together at summer camp. The idea for the band name (which the two were forced to defend repeatedly in the group's early years) came to them during a giggling fit at a Bob Dylan concert. After several months spent performing as opening act for a traveling comedy troupe, the duo recruited high school classmates (and brothers) Jim Creeggan (bass) and Andrew Creeggan (keyboards), and the foursome recorded a demo tape, titled Barenaked Lunch. A performance at the annual Buskers Festival in Waterloo, Ontario, led to an encounter with like-minded drummer Tyler Stewart, and the group was complete. Gordon, the band's first album proved a smash in Canada, but failed to generate much excitement... Read review
