| | Pete Seeger Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Fishes (Little & Big) CD Pete Seeger Discography of CDs
Not so much a children's folk album as it is a folk album with songs suitable for children, BIRDS, BEASTS, BUGS & FISHES--a 28-song compilation originally released in 1955 on two LPs--collects American and European folk songs about the animal kingdom. There're fanciful anthropomorphic narratives like the endlessly bizarre "Frog Went a-Courtin'," songs about the majesty of animals both wild and domesticated such as "I Had a Rooster" and "The Fox," and homespun narratives and dances that use animals as both metaphor and subject. One particular highlight is Seeger's peculiarly joyful version of "I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground." Though not as celebrated as Bascom Lamar Lunsford's rendition, Seeger's take on the traditional tune is as mysteriously moving. By turns humorous and heartbreaking, BIRDS, BEASTS, BUGS & FISHES is a strong collection of folk classics.

Like other Pacific Islands, Indonesia has its contemporary, Western-influenced pop stars as well as its more traditional artists. And on the Indonesian island of Bali, music doesn't get any more traditional than the type of performances that are heard on this CD. Pitamaha: Music From Bali spotlights various gamelen -- traditional Balinese ensembles that emphasize bronze and bamboo instruments. (Gamelan is singular, gamelen is plural.) In gamelan music, string instruments take a back seat to bronze and bamboo instruments (if they're used at all). The man listeners can thank for these recordings is producer David Baker, who recorded the gamelen during a visit to Bali in December 1995 and January 1996. Baker had first discovered gamelan music during a trip to Bali in late 1992/early 1993, and when he returned to the island ...
