Customer Reviews for You Are My Sunshine Artist: Elizabeth Mitchell
You Are My Sunshine: Elizabeth Mitchell
Date - June 4, 2008
"I've talked before about Elizabeth Mitchell's first CD for kids, You Are My Flower. It's a great little CD. If there were any drawbacks to the CD, it was that it was too short (less than 25 minutes) and perhaps too "folk-y" for some tastes.
One her second CD, You Are My Sunshine, Mitchell says, "Hey, you, Mr. Daddy-Guy, I hear ya. I'm gonna make it longer and mix it up for you."
Uh, OK, she doesn't really say that. Or, at least, not that I'm aware of.
But her new CD is both longer and more diverse. And why wouldn't you want a longer CD when it includes great renditions of kids' songs traditional and un-? The alphabet song done in dub-reggae style. A Bo Diddley blues (sort of). Mitchell ups the young parent hipness quotient by covering both Sesame Street ("Ladybug Picnic") and Schoolhouse Rock ("3 Is The Magic Number"). And the covers of some traditional songs with religious backgrounds -- "So Glad I'm Here" and "Jubilee" -- make me happy every time I hear them. The first half of the CD is fairly varied in tempo; the second half is much more "folk" -- very mellow.
The CD is probably best for kids under age 6, but it's truly one of those albums you may find yourself putting on even when your kids aren't around. If you at all liked her first CD, you will like this one. If you've never heard Mitchell, I'd recommend this CD somewhat over the first one. If you hated her first CD, then I just don't know what to do with you. You probably shouldn't continue reading my reviews. Highly recommended."

"Really well done classics and new songs. I got it for the ladybug song, but my son's favorite is the car song. I look forward to getting more of Elizabeth Mitchell."

You are my sunshine
Date - May 7, 2008
"This is the best cd. I bought it because I sang the sunshine song to my daughter, but didn't know all of the words. Thought she would appreciate listening to someone with a nicer voice. She loves it! I have collected other cd's by Elizabeth Mictchell. I even listen to them when my daughter in not around."

Sweet songs...

"I purchased this CD mainly for the song, 'You are My Sunshine.' All of the other songs are great too, I would like to get all of her CD's eventually. She has a sweet voice, and it's easy, enjoyable listening for you and baby."

Best CD Ever!!
Date - April 10, 2008
"We LOVE Elizabeth Mitchell! I have recommended this cd to everyone I know! The songs are enjoyable for kids and parents alike. My 3 year daughter wanted to listen to this cd in the car and at bedtime for about 6 straight months when we first bought it and it remains a favorite in her regular music rotation! Most of the songs on this cd will be familiar to grown-ups but with a refreshing new twist. My daughter and I are especially found of the 'You Are My Sunshine' track as I have been singing that song to her since she was born, just like my mother and grandmother used to sing it to me. (pardon my sentimental moment!) It's cool to hear Mitchell's version of 'Three is the Magic Number' since the only other place I'd ever heard it was on the old School House Rock videos! I also liked having 'Here Comes My Baby' on this cd as the only other place I'd heard it was on the Rushmore soundtrack. All of the songs are wonderful and Elizabeth Mitchell's voice is so easy to listen to - buy it for yourself and all the kids in your life! I am so thrilled that The Land of Nod introduced my family to the wonderful talent of Elizabeth Mitchell!"

"I enjoy listening to this CD as much as my kids. My 1 year old claps and smiles along in the car. It's a visit back to childhood for me to listen to Elizabeth Mitchell's sweet rendtion of the old Sesame Street's "Ladybugs Picnic" and School House Rock's "3 is a Magic Number"."

Review 13 for You Are My Sunshine Artist: Elizabeth Mitchell
Nice CD
Date - April 10, 2008
"There are a few favorites and this one is one of them. If you are in the mood for some peaceful time and have to have children's music on, this one would do the trick for you. the songs are nice, her voice is very soothing and while entertaining to my son, doesnt bother me at all. The songs are all time favorites so you can hear it over and over."
