Caroline Herring – The Little House Songs

We’ve carried a couple of excellent “children’s” albums before in first two Dan Zanes records (you can see and hear them in the box out on the right) and since then we’ve had a couple of disc aimed at kids and their parents, but none of them have stood up to the sort of repeated listening you’re going to have to go through in the car….

‘The Little House’ is a genuine American classic children’s book by Virginia Lee Burton from 1943, that has stood the test of time and still remains in print and popular today.  The story tells of a classic country house that is encroached upon by urban sprawl and subsequently ‘rescued’ and moved back into the countryside – it’s engaging and sentimental with Burton giving the house a character and personality the reader can relate to.

Caroline’s interpretation of the story adds even more personality to the story and it plays out like a mini-musical with lovely arrangements that touch on folk, bluegrass and country.  It’s all presented with effortless melodies and a sweet edge that makes it stand out from much of the material aimed at children.

‘The Little House Songs’ is a beautiful little album aimed primarily for parents to enjoy with their children, but don’t be surprised to find the melodies running round in your head long after the kids’ have stopped listening!
