David Grover There's A Light In You Songs There's A Light In You Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Great for sharing with kids and families
This sampler is a perfect collection of songs for families and kids aged 0-8 - particularly well-suited to evening car rides home where you want something more interesting than a lullaby, but nothing too rowdy either. As with all of David's music, there's not a false note in the bunch - nothing cutesy or phony fun, so that the adult family members are just as engaged as the youngest - just honest, thoughtful, terrific value-driven music which speaks to the heart, gives children the chance to groove, and parents the chance to introduce topics raising from self-esteem ("Light up the World", "Be Yourself") to the environment ("The Garden Song", "One World") with optimism and humor. Without being too gender-stereotypical, based upon our preschool experiences, girls will glow with the princessy "Light up the World", and boys will happily stomp "Midnight March of the Dinosaurs". We've given this for birthday party presents for the past four years, and have only received rave reviews in return.

Part of the World Playground series on the new sublabel Putumayo Kids, Caribbean Playground takes a nice little romp through the Caribbean, making stops at most of the major islands and including a bit from elsewhere. The course of the album bounces around from location to location, but since this is a kids' album, it keeps a light sound. To summarize, this is much more Bob Marley than Peter Tosh. Taj Mahal starts the journey with his Hula Blues ...

"...rich, dexterous voice and pleasing folk-pop melodicism." --Scott Alarik, The Boston Globe"The wait was long and arduous, but hopefully this album is what its title says." - Matthew S. Robinson, Soundcheck Magazine "This is someone to watch out for in the Boston music scene." - Madalyn Sklar, GoGirlsMusic Melissa Morris has spent a life following her belief in music. The Shape of Things to Come, Morris's debut album, is full of the influences and experiences she has been collecting since her childhood in Texas. Some of her earliest musical memories include her father playing original cast recordings of musicals and standards by legends like Frank Sinatra and George Gershwin. From there, Morris's collection of musical influences expanded to include such artists as the Bruce Springsteen, the Police and Peter Gabriel. "I remember listening to 'Nebraska' or 'Synchronicity' and feeling so close to the stories that I could imagine myself in them, and then turning around and listening to 'Security' and being equally transformed by the power of the world instruments and rhythms in all of the songs." Morris originally chose music therapy as an outlet for her musical skills: "I wanted a career that allowed me to combine music with my desire to help those in need." Morris eventually found music therapy too demanding a career to allow her to focus on her own performing career. She decided to leave the profession in 1997 to concentrate on music solely as an artist. Fortunately, one of her therapy jobs was in Boston, where Morris was exposed to such talent as Peter Mulvey, Jennifer Kimball, Joe Panzetta, Chris Trapper (of the Pushstars), and Ellis Paul. "If I hadn't spent time in Boston as a music therapist, I wouldn't have had the fortune of discovering such masters of lyrics and musical line, nor would I have been able to see them perform live. That was the ultimate catalyst for starting to write and play music again." Morris returned to Texas for two years to start honing her lyric and guitar skills before she returned to Boston in 1999, this time as an artist. She worked her way through local open mic nights and played the subways, eventually assembling the cast for Shape of Things to Come -- some of the brightest talent in a burgeoning Boston acoustic scene. "The CD became a sort of family project for me and I believe for everyone involved, especially the other musicians. The open mic scene is a unique animal in Boston; most people are there to actually hear you and to encourage you." Morris's arrival in the arena of acoustic music couldn't be better timed. "I think I'm lucky to be contributing to the Boston music scene at a time when women artists continue to gain credibility not only as competent players and singers, but also as intelligent writers." Released in mid-December 1999, Shape of Things to Come is a rich, ...
