house party
dan zanes & friends
special guests: philip
glass, deborah harry, david
jones, angelique kidjo, bob weir
house party is the most far-reaching
and sonically diverse of the dan zanes and friends cds. it's
the sound of a musical winter gathering that just wouldn't end.
friends kept dropping in and with them come songs, instruments,
and a readiness to hang around. this hour long cd, our fourth,
is filled to the brim with dance songs, sing along songs, funny
songs, emotional songs, and others that may be stuck in your
head for days at a time (as they were in mine). about the cd >>

night time!
dan zanes & friends
special guests: aimee mann, lou reed, rubi theater
group, dar williams
"night time!" is a celebration of
the
mysterious hours between
dusk
and dawn. this isn't what you would call a lullaby record (note the exclamation
point) but when the dance party is over and it's cool down time, this mostly
acoustic cd of handmade songs for the all-ages underground will fill the air
with lyrical, organic, sounds and songs. released: 2002

parades and panoramas
dan zanes
americans used to make
a lot more music than they do these days. i have good news! we
could easily be doing it
again. parades
and panoramas is my way of showing how much fun old songs can
be to learn, sing and play. i chose my favorite tunes from carl
sandburg's classic 1927 folk song collection entitled "the american
songbag" and learned them with my friends. about the cd >>

sea music
dan zanes
sea music is an emotional and
spirited acoustic collection of fourteen traditional maritime
songs performed by dan zanes
and
festival five folk. it was chosen by rolling stone magazine as
the "hot maritime sounds" of 2003 (well over a hundred
years after the golden days of the sea shantey). although this
isn't a dan zanes and friends family music cd, these timeless
songs have been in heavy rotation with many of the families that
i've given them to lately. this is the first traditional folk
release from festival five records. about the cd >>

widdecombe fair
david jones & bill shute
when people ask me what's at
the top of my family music list, iI always say "widdecombe
fair." this
is one of the cds that gave me a real sense of how broad and
exciting the
scope
of all-ages music could be. this cd by david jones and bill shute
is a rich and soulful collection of eighteen ballads, work songs,
and sea shanties from the british isles and north america. when
it was first released in 1993 it won a parents choice gold award
and was recommended by booklist and the school library journal.
festival five records is excited to be reissuing widdecombe fair
fully remastered and repackaged with lyrics and rare andy warhol
artwork. about the cd >>
