"My son is 1 1/2 years old and has loved "Jack's Big Music Show" from the time he was a few months old. The bright colors and wonderful songs have enchanted him. I have also enjoyed this show as it is not as sickeningly sweet as other shows (think Barney).
I LOVE this soundtrack. That being said, I believe it is missing something. There are 3 songs by Laurie Berkner. I like her as much as the next artist and she seems to be on every episode of "Jack's Big Music Show" but I was hoping they would have put songs that were unavailable elsewhere. "The Bongo Bird" song by Jamia, "I'm So Glad" by Jerry Lawson and the Talk of the Town and any of the songs perfomed by Cathy Richardson for example. I wanted more Schwartzman Quartet and more songs performed by Jack, Mary and Mel.
I was glad they put "The Me Dance" and "I like it that way" as I was not able to find those anywhere else.
All in all it is a great soundtrack, which is why I rated it a 5. If, however you are a diehard fan, you may miss a little something here and there. Nick Jr. Please release a "Jack's Big Music Show Season 1 Volume 2"!!! Thanks!

"It was just okay for me, Dawg;-) They can fit all the songs from JBMS, why skip the cute song by Cathy Richardson played during the Marching Band show? Drip Drop Drip...Listen it's in the airrrr....Such a sweet melody. Also "Twinkle Twinkle" by the Schwartzmann Quartet. Deep Down in My Heart by the dude who sings Number 1, and that cool song that goes "I'm so glad I have a face, cause I'm a member of the human race", etc. They need to step up to the plate here."
Could of been more but not bad

"There are tons of more songs they could of put on this cd. Most kids that love the show probably already have the Laurie Berkner CDs so that's a bit of overkill. My biggest disappointment was not one Cathy Richardson song was on it and she's the one my son loves the most. Still he does enjoy it."
Overall Very Good but.....

"I gotta say that overall this CD is great; My two and a half year old loves to jam to the music. I do agree with the above reviewer on the song selection. There are so many great artists that appear on the show I don't quite understand why the CD doesn't have more of a variety - and why the need for so many Laurie Berkner songs. Don't get me wrong - they are good songs but it would have been nice to show some others the love - like Jerry Lawson. I still give it 5 stars because it's a good cd and the kid likes it and I can stand listening to it. Props to Nick Jr for broadcasting a kid show that has music the whole family can appreciate."
Love this CD!

"My 1 1/2 year old loves this CD, and so do I! We turn it on as soon as he wakes up in the morning, and everyone in the family can sing all the words. The songs are bouncy and cheerful, and there's a good variety from the show. We highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys Jack's Big Music Show."
