“That Baby” CD and DVD

It is no secret that I don’t like much when it comes to music for children. It’s all a bit too cheesey and annoying, although I do occassionally like that crazy guy with the weird hair on Disney channel. That’s for another post though. I’ve found something else that I actually like. "That Baby CD" and "That Baby DVD" are pretty cool.

By taking acoustic versions of songs made popular by Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell and even 10,000 Maniacs, "That Baby CD" is entertainment that both kids and parents can get used to having on replay. My personal favorite is "Brass in Pocket" previously made awesome by The Pretenders. Even though this version is a bit toned down with an acoustic feel, a Pretenders fan can almost hear the gritty voice and excitement of the original, even if only in your head.

The DVD made my girls get up and dance and unlike many kid videos, this one kept their attention and made them want to move! The video for "Brass in Pocket" was adorable and fun for all of us, although my daughters are convinced they can bust a move just as well as the featured kids. Are there any casting calls for future DVD’s I should know about?

If you’d like to hear samples of the songs, you can go the website here and take a listen. The CD can be purchased for $14.95; the DVD is $24.95. Or, you can buy the two in a bundle for $34.90. The suggested age for these products is 0-5, but my seven year old thought it was pretty great too. Considering I’m a-hem years old, a disliker of most music for children, and I liked it? Well, you probably want to go and check it out. Also, lucky readers of this review need only enter the coupon code "MotherTalk" when purchasing to receive 20% off!
