New CD: My Green Kite
Peter Himmelman’s new CD came out this week and it was well worth the wait. I have always been a fan of his work and especially enjoy his music for kids and families. My full review MY GREEN KITE will appear in the April issue of Chicago Parent magazine. Until then, here is a wonderful review by Stefan Shepherd at his Zooglobble blog that you should read (scroll down to February 19).
And here is a pre-release piece I was happy to write for Peter:
“Peter Himmelman raises the bar for all children’s music artists with My Green Kite – this is children’s music at its best and represents the level of children’s music that our kids should be hearing. Listen carefully and you will hear true musical artistry! In a overly saturated and increasingly promoted market full of kindie rock artists, Peter Himmelman has soared above the crowd with an extraordinary recording that is worthy of everyone’s attention. Kids will squeal with delight and parents will wonder why there is not more great music out there like My Green Kite.”

I promise to post a link to my full review when it is published by Chicago Parent.
Fred, you’ve hit the nail on the head. This is a fantastic CD by an artist who has stood the test of time. Some of these songs actually brought tears to my eyes. That doesn’t happen too often.

This is exactly what I expected to find out after reading the title New CD: My Green Kite. Thanks for informative article
