The most ambitious Nursery Rhymes Album ever recorded! Standard children's music tends to sound nasty and cheap - the Nursery Rhymes Collection is different. This double album was recorded by 33 top class musicians and contains 70 full length tracks in the highest audio quality. An eclectic and stimulating mix of Nursery Rhymes and Children’s Songs performed by real musicians on real vintage instruments in many interesting styles. A timeless collection for children to sing, dance, learn and sleep to whilst opening their eyes, ears, hearts and minds to the sounds of real music performances. 70 full length tracks creating an enjoyable and stress free listening experience for both the children and their parents alike!
One of my earliest childhood memories was listening to a reel-to-reel tape of nursery rhymes on my father’s stereo system; I knew every tune and lyric inside out and I am positive that it inspired my own musical abilities from which I have had so much personal enjoyment. Some 35 years later when purchasing Nursery Rhymes for my own son I found the choice to be less than desirable with the recordings sounding cheap, tinny, lifeless and unreal. I noticed both my own son and my young niece responded far more when hearing normal pop music, especially enjoying the feels and attack of the tracks and dancing to the drums. Having performed in live bands myself I decided to record my own versions with real musicians and real instruments rather than the tame sounding computer generated fake instruments and over-perfect vocals of the music I had bought. I wanted the reality of real music with the attitude and feel of a true human performance to educate my own son and to inspire any musical love or even abilities he may have hidden deep within. To that end I enlisted the help of my musical partner and band-mate Mike Wilbury, plus many other very talented musician friends, who used to performing ‘serious music’ of their own strangely jumped at the chance to work on a project of this nature. Letting their hair down for a bit of fun they brought their own characters to the songs, helping mould and shape this album into the many wonderful styles contained within. Each track highlights the highest quality of studio recording and a mass of beautiful high quality instruments all playing a little part in creating something very special. The results have far exceeded my initial hopes and I truly believe a product that will be enjoyed by everyone’s children at any age has been born. I also know that the adult will enjoy these recordings just as much as the child; perhaps spotting some of the influences hidden within, because let’s face it; we also have to listen to it over and over again in the house or in the car! So why not listen to something of some integrity that won’t drive us mad and with any luck your own children will pick up on the enjoyment we had in creating it and just maybe... some talented musicians of the future may look back on this album with fond memories of their own.
