Songs I Heard: Harry Connick Jr.
"We really have Meg Ryan and the diner scene to thank for this. Jazz musician and erstwhile Broadway star Harry Connick, Jr. got his big break when he was asked to record the soundtrack to the movie “When Harry Met Sally.” The soundtrack was good, but the massive success of the movie was what pushed Connick into the national consciousness. More than ten years later, Connick repaid the favor -- sort of -- with his 2001 album Songs I Heard, on which he reworked Broadway and film showtunes. It's not a traditional kids' album, but when said tunes come from beloved sources such as “Mary Poppins,” “The Sound of Music,” and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, there's clearly a kids' music theme to the album. The best tracks are those where Connick lets loose his band and really swings. The opening cut, "Supercalifragilisticexpiadlidocious," is well, that word, on which Connick, Jr., backed by a New Orleans brass band (Connick's voice is smooth as always). Other uptempo tracks such as "The Lonely Goatherd" and Dixieland stylings on "Spoonful of Sugar" also benefit from Connick's big band and his traditional jazz arrangements. They're definitely a new, jazzier version of the original, but they're not so different from the original that kids won't enjoy them. Less successful are the slower tracks -- I can't see kids recognizing "Maybe" (from the musical “Annie”) or enjoying the string-backed version here. On the whole, Songs I Heard is a playful album. It's probably too long with some songs too obscure for kids to enjoy the whole thing at one sitting but parents wanting to discover some new show tunes or hear new spins of classics may find this worthwhile and "have what she's having.""

Gotta Love Harry!
"I'm a big Harry Connick fan and when i saw this cd, I knew I had to have it. I not only love Harry Connick Jr. but the songs take me back to my childhood. They're cute and catchy and my little boy likes to shake his bum bum to the music."

Awesome songs for the kid in mom
"I don't know if my baby will love these songs, but I sure do. I heard this CD playing in the store and it took me a while before I realized I was listening to jazzy versions of my favorite songs from the Sound of Music, Annie, Mary Poppins. Some of them are just fun, some of them melt my heart whenever I listen to them."
