Tons of Kids Music Posted Today!

NEVER BEFORE have we presented this much new material in one sitting. Get a big deep breath and DIG IN!!: 

Marla Lewis has been singing all her life (including an appearance on a national radio talent show at age 3!), started piano lessons at age 5 and wrote her first song at age 12. With such a rich musical childhood, it’s no wonder that she’s so heavily invested in music for children. She’s brought us FIVE songs this time from her first two albums, and you’re going to love them. Check out Jackson Avenue, Mighty Jackie The Strikeout Queen, My Room’s A Mess, Sambas Swaying in the Trees and We All Laugh in the Same Language.

M. Ryan Taylor has a little gift for children who observe Halloween with four fun, spooky tunes from his album Thirteen For Halloween. Check out Five Little Pumpkins, Skin and Bones, Unlikely Company and Welcome Said The Spider. 

Chuck Brown & The Chuckleberries has just made a major move: They’ve just made their ENTIRE first album available for free download, plus added an additional free never-before-released song. To download those, you’ll need to visit their website. But, to celebrate, they’ve brought us a very cute song to share with you. It’s called Galapagos…and it’s the story of someone who decided to vacation on the remote island…when they were rather better suited to a nearby theme park. Funny stuff…!

Conductor Jack is the kids music persona of Jack Norton, and he’s brought us a couple of delightful bluegrass pieces: Old MacDonald Had A Band and Uncle Noah’s Ark…from his album Toot! Toot! All Aboard.

Didi Pop is a character created by Deborah Poppink, who was a music teacher in Los Angeles for 15 years. From her album, DiDi PoP, she’s brought us 3 great songs to share with you: Feed The Pet, Look At Yourself in the Mirror and Yellow Car. 

Rock Daddy Rock‘s debut album celebrates the everyday life of kids and their funny, gross and wonderful behaviors. Life lessons give each song an educational purpose or (as one mom said) “the chance to ponder behavioral issues without sounding moralistic”. From their first album Silly Short Songs for Silly Short People, they’ve brought us The Lecture, When You Grow Up and Your Room’s A Mess.

We decided to try something a little different this time. We were approached by the folks at Melodies About Me. They create personalized CDs for kids…you know, they kind where you get your child’s name sung as part of every song on the album. Unlike a lot of the customized stuff we’ve heard in the past, we enjoyed some of these songs a lot, like Dooby Dooby and especially Purple Sock Blues…and they liked the idea of giving away a couple of their songs. So you can take the poor-man’s route and just SING your child’s name every time the recorded name on the CD comes up…or you can visit their site and order your own customized CD. Fun!

Next up, Stephen DiRaffaele rolls in with 3 energetic tunes from his album, I Like Being A Kid: I Like Being a Kid, Candy Apples and Let’s Get Funky.

The Blankies is a cartoon band with songs for Pre-K and Kindergarden ages and their parents (or teachers) that like more sophisticated sounding children’s music. Four different singers and an eclectic variety of music styles keep the albums from being redundant. They’ve offered us 3 songs for download: Be Nice, Five Senses and Robot.

Kat Vellos has created Musiplication…dedicated to helping children who struggle with certain types of learning by employing other familiar tools, such as rhythm and music. She’s brought 2 songs: 5 on 5 and Double Dutch.

Here’s the story of Tot-a-Doodle-Do: co-producer Heidi Niehart had an idea for a television show that would incorporate follow-along activities for children and their parents. She approached her friend Penny L. Cohen, Speech & Language Pathologist who has worked with children for many years to see if she would be interested in co-producing the program. The two set out to develop a show that would entertain and educate toddlers and pre-schoolers. They’ve brought us two songs: Animals Everywhere and Transportation.

Maria Alley has created a music program for young children called Do Re Me and Maria. She’s brought us a song about ice cream called Calypso Chill.

Great music becomes at least part of the reason to move with Dancercise Kids. Check out their song Wonder.

As always, you’ll find ALL the songs referenced above on your ultimate source for free, legal music for children: FreeKidsMusic.com
