With each new Dan Zanes and Friends release, many fans worry that his homespun magic will eventually hit the right note with the masses. Zanes' music, as offbeat as it is organic, is so special to forward-thinking young families that plenty have batted around half-baked plans to attach a password to it. Anybody else can sell out, the thinking goes, but please, please not him. Catch That Train, then, is bound to meet with a lot of hand-wringing. For one thing, it's the first Zanes and Friends release since the crazy-haired, asparagus-stalk thin artist started appearing in videos on the Playhouse Disney channel. For another, Starbucks has stepped in to lend a promotional hand. Those are ominous indicators indeed, but if the largely on-track Catch That Train proves anything, it's that Zanes isn't lock-stepping it with the boardroom goons just yet. Once again, the high-profile collaborators (The Blind Boys of Alabama, Nick Cave, Natalie Merchant) could cause a childless hipster to heed the all-aboard call, but also as on previous discs, it's the usual suspects who supply some of the strongest tracks: Barbara Brousal on "Mariposa Ole," Father Goose on "Choo Choo Ch'Boogie," and the Rubi Theater Company on "Walkin' the Dog." True, "Let's Shake" seems suspiciously TV-ready; skip it and pretend it never happened. Then keep your fingers crossed that, once this train leaves the station, Zanes--plainspoken hero to so many--won't trade it in for a stretch limo. --Tammy La Gorce More from Dan Zanes

Written on December 28, 2007 Summary: Catchy and fun Great songs with different edge than you get with other children's CD's. SOme of the songs are quite long, so with short attention span child, often have to fast forward.  Written on December 18, 2007 Summary: Do not hesitate; BUY IT NOW! Parents, prepare to have your lives changed! This is GREAT music that you and your kids will enjoy together. DZAF has created something that goes far beyond music that the kids will beg to hear and grown-ups can stand to play AGAIN in the mini-van. This is music that inspires music-making. Since we "discovered" DZAF, my four year old spends her days singing, dancing, pretending she "is" Dan Zanes, pretending she's playing with Dan Zanes, and learning to play the piano and ukulele (yes, the DZ Flea edition!). She asked Santa for a harmonica. Just that. Is she learning catchy (ANNOYING) jingles about how to tie her shoes? No. Is she learning anything? Yes. Music is math, art, reading, writing, peace, love and happiness! She is learning that making music is bigger than the song; collaboration to create something good gives children a sense of inclusion, unity, curiosity, and goodwill that they carry with them when the song/dance party is over. On a barely related note, if you have the chance, see DZAF in concert. The only thing better than hearing the music is experiencing the wild, all-ages folk show in person. Our recent concert experience was so incredible, we're driving 376 miles in March to see the band again! Our faves from this CD are "Walkin' the Dog," "While the Music is Playing," "Wander in the Summer Wind," and "Catch That Train." I hope your family will be as inspired by the work of this amazing band as mine has been. Written on November 24, 2007 Summary: Top Notch! We LOVE all of Dan Zanes music in our house. This is music geared for children, but it's not just for children. I love that Dan Zanes has recorded old classics such as "I Love You a Bushel and a Peck" along with spirituals and new works. The songs are intelligently kid-ified, not baby-fied. I can't wait until he comes to our town!! Written on September 27, 2007 Summary: Catch That Melody! If you have children and basic cable, then you have probably heard Dan Zanes whether you realize it or not. "Catch That Train" is an infinitely catchy and quite uplifting little number. If you are in a bad mood, download this baby and sit back for awhile. You'll feel better soon... Trust me. It's one of those rare songs that you don't mind getting stuck in your head. On a side note, this is the very first song I have downloaded from Amazon's new MP3 service. I installed the Amazon MP3 Downloader program, clicked on a couple buttons and bam! The song was waiting in iTunes for me. Couldn't be easier... Written on July 28, 2007 Summary: Wonderful CD My daughter loves watching Dan Zane, so we decided to buy the cd. It was a great price and we are all enjoying it. |
