This review is from: Piglet's Big Movie (Audio CD)
I saw this movie with my 3 year old daughter & the music caught my attention right away. I bought the CD and absolutely love it. And my daughter loves it too! Carly Simon's songs are wonderful- as another review noted-these songs could stand alone on the radio (with different lyrics). The instrumental songs are a pleasure to listen to as well. Can't recommend it enough (and I have always felt kind of neutral about Carly Simon in the past).

This review is from: Piglet's Big Movie (Audio CD)
I was a die-hard Carly Simon fan in the late 70's and early 80's. Being in high school at the time, however, I soon succumbed to peer pressure to listen to more "hip" music. I also caved in to my desire to keep up with my family members who were into progressive jazz (a good thing). So Carly got shelved. It wasn't until I saw "Piglet's Big Movie" with my 3 year-old son this weekend that I remembered (and actually realized, since I was so young back then) how talented Carly Simon really is and how original her music is. Her arrangement of "Winnie The Pooh" (aka: "Deep In The Hundred Acre Wood") is inspired. She's changed the key and used jazz chords and picking. I'm dying to get a copy of the sheet music. "Mother's Intuition" is original, moving, and musically exciting. "Sing Ho" will forever live in my house, as my son and I march around singining, much as we do with "Heigh Ho" from Snow White. "With a Few Good Friends" is universally relevant and very sweet. All in all,...Read more

Carly in top form and having fun!,

This review is from: Piglet's Big Movie (Audio CD)
Carly Simon is an artist able to explore the depths of adult emotions in her music, and for that we love her. But Carly also knows that childhood and its innocence are worth celebrating, and does so with grace and a delicious sense of fun in this cd. Kids will love the beat, they will be singing along to "With a Few Good Friends" before their first listen is over, and adults won't cringe when the kids want to hear it over and over, since the music has adult appeal as well. If it's been a while since you've contemplated Carly's music, check out Piglet. And then check out her other work, such as the recent Anthology, which gives the listener a spectacular overview of her career thus far. I don't have kids - but Piglet's been in my cd player constantly since I bought it a week ago.
