Synopsis

Amazon.com

Elizabeth Mitchell goes with what she knows on You Are My Flower. Here a selection of sturdy, old-fashioned songs are delivered with a clear, clipped voice accompanied by a single guitar. The result is an album most parents would make for their own kids if they possessed Mitchell?s talent. Mitchell delivers unsullied renditions of songs from the oeuvres of Woody Guthrie, Elizabeth Cotten, and the Carter Family, and tosses in a version of "Jingle Bells" that would be welcome in June. Pop the CD in and a lovely, simple, peaceful vibe swells inside. --Tammy La Gorce

CD Reviews

Good... but short

Charlotte's Dad | New York NY | 04/19/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"This is a sweet sounding disk, and my 2yo daughter loves it. Everything is pretty much on the slow tip, which makes it a good pre-bedtime listen.

Just two caveats: The bit in the middle ("Rock & Roll) with kids blowing on kazoos and singing gets irritating very fast. And this CD is only 24 minutes long, which is a fine length for a child, but pretty skimpy for a full-priced CD. The whole thing would fit on one side of an LP!"

Great music for kids and their parents

T. Leach | Mid-West | 11/02/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is among the tops in the "Music For All Ages" genre. It feels to me like the intended audience is for children (i.e., there is no hidden irony in the lyrics or performances that says, "I know this sounds like a kiddie album, but we grown-ups know that I'm really singing about Woodstock man!"), but the easy sound and sugary innocence in this album makes it irresistable to any music lover at any age. Just simple songs delivered sweetly and simply. Clean acoustic recordings with minimal production. I think that my kids are burned out on this one; I'm not."

Not my favorite

J. Harris | Charlottesville, VA | 04/07/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I have all of Elizabeth Mitchell's CD's and this one is my least favorite. There are a couple of cute songs on there, but we hardly ever listen to it, b/c my son absolutely loves her other CD's better (Little Bird & You are my Sunshine). If you're deciding which one to get, I'd go with the two above that I mentioned!"
