Francie Kelley's album let's you travel the world. There is music from many different cultures - from the Argentinean tango to the Hawaiian Islands' ukulele, Francie's upbeat and poetic vocals make this album. She carries a note for miles with her clear voice. She has help from Pat Kelley's soothing guitar music and Katie Kelley's fantastic vocals. When I listen to each song I'm transported to another place. It's a journey around the world in one album.
This is a fine album filled with sounds and white rabbits that draw you into a world of predominantly world rhythms enticing the listener to become an amateur explorer of other cultures. The vocals are endearing and the production value, with an absolute nod to cultural instrumentation, is spot on. I must give a nod to the child performance at the beginning of "This Land Is Your Land." The song is seminal as we hand it over to future generations. The overall recording experience is terrific due to production values, vocals and song choice. The musicianship: exemplary. It is very uplifting, loving and accepting of other cultures and their music. This album is in touch with its audience and respectful. In addition, it lasers in on its target audience. I love the World Music component of this album. Five thumbs up if I had five thumbs. Reviewed by John Wood.
This second children's music CD by Francie Kelley showcases her clear and lovely singing voice and a multinational theme binds the joyous songs together with a sense of exploration and wonder. Different tunes draw upon the rhythms and traditions of lands ranging from Jamaican drumming to Irish fiddle playing to Argentinean tango and much more. Jubilantly brimming with enthusiasm of a grand international vacation, it is a child's musical passport to the world.
