Old English Nursery Rhymes [CASSETTE]

Search: Tom He As The Pipers Son
by: Broadside Band

Release Date September 01, 1996
These are the songs that Grandma used to sing - and how she herself would like to have sung them. The songs are beautifully sung with charm, and not condescendingly like songs-to-children.

The instrumental accompaniment is traditional and imaginative, and the whole is a joy from beginning to end.

This recording is also available on CD direct from the Broadside Band, see www.broadsideband.co.uk.

Old English Nursery Rhymes

Search: Tom He As The Pipers Son
from: Saydisc

Release Date September 12, 2005
I bought this CD based on the rave reviews it had received and because there was such a long list of songs. However the style of the music is not quite what i was expecting. I am no music buff but the style of the singing is more Irish folk/light opera music than jolly children's music. The words of some songs are not very clear and hard to sing along to. Also, the music sounds quite samey due to the style of the two singers. If you are a music pro this might be for you but if, like me, you wanted something simple and jolly to entertain your child and sing along to this is not the right CD.
