The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band CD Review

Laurie Berkner became a favorite of ours when we first saw clips of her songs on Noggin in between shows (and noticed she was featured on Jack’s Big Music Show and the Today Show).  Her songs are great…catchy, sing-songy, fun, light-hearted, along with really creative lyrics! My son would dance to her tunes and get excited when she was singing on T.V.  Recently, I heard she was on the market with her first “Best Of” album, so we had to have it.  Well, it has not disappointed!  There are 20 tracks of total fun! We popped it in the car and have been listening to it for a week now.  I can honestly say even though it is a “kids music CD”, I like it….no kidding! My son (4 years) loves it, and has mastered the lyrics to sing along to at least half the songs, if not more.  My daughter (15 months) really gets into to it too, bopping her head around and singing the tunes in her own words!   Overall, The Best of Laurie Berkner has quickly become a family favorite.  I wrote this The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band CD Review because I think it can be a challenge to find music that is both good for the kiddos and not super annoying to listen to as the adults!  Laurie Berkner finds this balance.  I personally recommend the songs: Rocketship Run, Moon Moon Moon, and BOOTS!  My hubby likes: I’m Gonna Catch You, I’m Not Perfect and Fast and Slow.  The kids love ‘em all! I will admit, I have even noticed myself driving around town this week with this CD still playing, even though I am the only one in the car.  Has to say something, right?

Consider me a groupie, not a negative word to say about this CD!

No t only does Laurie’s website:  www.laurieberkner.com talk about her many charities and other local events and contributions, I also found this statement within a press release from her website talking about Laurie’s environmental stance:  “Laurie’s concern for the environment has prompted her to make the switch to “green” CD packaging using an eco-friendly package made entirely of post-consumer recycled paper, rather than the standard plastic jewel case, and to organic cotton for the band’s t-shirts, totes and other merchandise.”  Sounds like Laurie Berkner is pretty eco-cool to me!
