Search - Jamie Barnett :: I Love to Ride My Bike

One of Child Magazine's "best kid's CDs of the year." Parents Choice Gold Award Winner Great for the car. Great for the home. Great for the classroom. The earthworms have gone underground/The ladybugs don't make a sound./I've got one on my hand and she's not afraid/I'll just sing to her while I sit here in the shade. The first track on guitarist Jamie Barnett's album, "In the Shade," an evocative celebration of late summer, sets the tone for this open-hearted and beautifully crafted observance of childhood's memory-making simple pleasures. "Two Frogs" is a guitar-strumming ode to friendship, while in "Nursery Medley," Barnett weaves familiar nursery rhymes into an exquisite musical tapestry. He uses "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" as inspiration for a delightful "Walk in the Woods," and "Jack and the Beanstalk" becomes "Magic Beans," a lovely tale of a little boy's journey toward independence ("I'll tell my mother what I see/I'll show my mother/Just how brave a boy can be." ) Barnett's deeply felt vocals are further enhanced by the earnest sweetness of child singers who chime in throughout.
