Product: Audio CD
Title: Night Song Label: Real World Artist: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Michael Brook Rating: 5/5 Definitely worth buying. The tracks are a mix between the Sufi music (of Pakistan) and modern beats of the West. Appeal to music fans of all ages!

Title: David Phelps Label: Spring Hill (Wea406) Artist: David Phelps Rating: 5/5 David Phelps has the finest voice I've heard in many many years. As stunning as his range is, his ability to create imagery using his voice backed up with emotion is untouchable. The true test of a fine voice is A Capella. I've seen him sing a capella in concert, and there's no doctoring, no support, just an arena and the pipes. This man can hold his own unlike anyone I've ever seen. It's rare to hear a voice enhance the music, rather than the music enhance the vocals. These cords are an instrument all on their own. Good Job big guy! (I'd LOVE to hear him sing Irish Tenor.)

Title: Night Time Label: Festival Five Rec. Artist: Dan Zanes Rating: 5/5 Dan Zanes has few if any equals in his ability to connect with children and other lovers of great music. Having seen him in concert twice, I have witnessed the joy that he and his merry band, chief among them the wonderful Barbara Brousal (with her early Nanci Griffith voice), bring to kids, who seem to feel real freedom when they are listening and dancing to the music. "Night Time" maintains the extremely high level of quality and listenability of "Rocket Ship Beach" and "Family Dance". While less raucous then the prior two albums, "Night Time" adds an extra layer of sweetness, best exemplified by the gentle gem, "Firefly". The use of the celebrity guests is once again appropriate -- no big star turns here. I find it somewhat amusing that Aimee Mann, John Doe, Dar Williams, and Lou Reed, a serious group of singers if ever there were one, are singing on a record aimed at little ears. But, having become familiar with Dan Zanes, I realize that anyone who actually knows him could not resist doing whatever he asked. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon his music and his magic, and I hope that years from now, my two kids will look back on Dan Zanes as one of the reminders of the simple joys of childhood.
