Review:
Traditional folk songs never go out of style. Songs like “Polly Wolly Doodle, ” “Sail Away, Ladies” and “The Fox” have appealed to children of past generations and will captivate children for generations to come. Filled with remarkable language and colorful stories, they take us back to simpler days. In today’s high-concept techno/media world, there is a risk of these songs disappearing from our consciousness. So whenever a CD comes out that brings these old songs into the spotlight with such musical authenticity as Bought Me A Rooster by Daisy Nell & Capt. Stan, parents should pay attention. This CD features a dozen traditional folk songs featuring Daisy Nell’s genuine and expressive voice accompanied by the sparse sounds of banjo, guitar and Dobro. The fact that these songs have stood the test of time should say something about the magical way they can engage children – especially when presented so lovingly by Daisy Nell & Capt. Stan.
