Buy the book and the CD! . This is a must-have CD for any parent who likes introducing the simple joys of great music to their kids.  My mom and dad (both in their late sixties) enjoy listening, too, and my child can ask her grandmother about other songs from "back in the day."      Get the book, too!  Nicky's really big personality shines through as he rubs elbows, er-paws, with some jazz heavy-hitters.  Your child will love the photos and will also discover some great new vocabulary words like bop-a-re-bop. The CD and book have proven to be a great gift combo.      Take a listen and enjoy!
POS

There's so much better stuff out there . I saw Barrage last night.  They're not great dancers, and they're not great musicians.  The music is just loud, new age, junk, similar to what I imagine Yanni or John Tesh probably plays

It Doesn't Have Soul. . I bought Usher's 8701 on tape long ago, and I remember liking it. Then a couple of years ago, I bought it again on cd, listened to it, and wondered why I wasted my money.    Maybe it's the fact that I've grown, but this album sounds so un-soulful now. It is just lacking any spirit, sort of like an over-produced record: all studio magic, but no magic from the singer. Even the songs that are SUPPOSED to sound heartfelt, don't. The album sounds dated, not transcendent of time and era like all the albums that become classics. The songs are very forgettable, and I don't see any of them being seen as classics twenty years from now.    Usher has yet to make a masterpiece.    Addendum: I was a little unfair in my rating. The album deserves 3 stars, not 2. Unfortunately, I can't change it.
