This CD includes 37 fun filled tracks for your little one to sing, clap, and dance along to. Susie Tallman manages to make her beautiful voice upbeat, rhythmic, harmonious, and silly all at the same time, giving each song a uniquely 'Susie' feel! Her updated versions of classics bridges generations of listeners and shows us new ways to enjoy and appreciate the nursery rhymes we grew up with.

Classic Nursery Rhymes is chalk full of diverse and original presentations of nursery rhymes you thought you knew - but you haven't heard them like this! Some rhymes are put to an unexpected beat, like Hickory Dickory Dock presented as a rap, or the beautiful string solos for the violin, mandolin, bass, and guitar in Old King Cole. Other rhymes that are already commonly known as a song are given a new tempo; Baa Baa Black Sheep and Little Nut Tree are slowed a great deal from the traditional versions, making each song into a surprising lullaby. Although the tune and tempo are not changed in the always-popular I'm a Little Teapot, a certain element of charm is added when a toddler sings the first verse alone in an adorable Australian accent. A child is also in charge of The Itsy Bitsy Spider, as a tiny voice directs the singer to sing the song again 'like a marching band', then 'sing it slowly', and finally 'sing it jazzy'. Three Little Kittens and other rhymes are spoken word set to background piano music.

Peter Piper consists of a silly voice trying very hard to make it through the tongue twister. His efforts are sure to bring a smile to your and your little one's lips. Go ahead and try to join in! Your little one may also be inspired or encouraged to say some of the familiar rhymes along with the CD when they hear the tiny voice of a shy toddler reciting Humpty Dumpty, Mary Mary, and Pat-A-Cake . Another fun track to imitate or making into a game is the alliteration in Betty Botter; "So she bought a bit of butter, better than her bitter butter, and she put I tin her batter, and the batter was not bitter." The album also contains a healthy dose of humor little ones will understand and enjoy. For example, when Tallman gets the words wrong in Hey Diddle Diddle and saying the dish runs away with the 'fork', a toddler is heard giggling and corrects her that it is a 'spoon'.

I knew my two-year-old friend Kyle would love this album so I saved it for an afternoon where we had nothing planned so we could spend an hour or so playing, dancing, and singing to the music. My favorite was when Kyle tried to sing along with Skidamarink. There is nothing cuter than a toddler trying to say, "Skidamarink a dinka dink, skidamarink a doo." Kyle's version sounded more like "Skinky dinky doo doo!" Then he would crack up laughing at himself for saying 'doo doo'. Okay, I was cracking up too.

Susie Tallman & Friends present traditional songs with a twist; music that connects generations - bridging the years between grandparent, parent and child with song. "If parents can enjoy lullabies with their children they will share a very special time together," said Tallman. "Children are educated by the music they are brought up with, and these lullabies will teach them about the bond they share with their parents, and about the warmth of the world their parents will share with them."

Rock Me Baby Records carves out a new path in the market of music for small children," says Tallman. "The albums provide parents with a contemporary way to introduce the beauty and tradition of nursery rhymes and lullabies." All the CDs contain original and interesting arrangements of traditional songs. The lullabies are soothing and calming and the nursery rhymes are fun, exciting and unique, with multiple voices and instruments.

Rock Me Baby Records was founded in 1999 by Susie Tallman and has won the Parents' Choice Gold Award for Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum & Gold Awards and the Parents' Choice recommended for Classic Nursery Rhymes, the iParenting & Oppenheim Gold Award for Children's Songs, A Collection of Childhood Favorites and the iParenting Award for Classical Baby. Tallman's CDs have also been recommended in Parenting, Baby Talk, Fit Pregnancy, Child and other National Publications.

Singer Susie Tallman graduated UCLA with a BA in voice performance. She further evolved her voice in France, singing with the Choeur International and the American Chorus in Paris. Upon her return to the states, Tallman honed her classical training at the New England Conservatory Workshop in Boston. She has sung backup for such acts as Ronnie Spector, Darlene Love and Cheap Trick, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, The Rose Bowl, The Los Angeles Forum and Pauley Pavilion as well as in commercials for Taco Bell, The Coca-Cola Reunion Commercial and the movie Beaches. She is a former member of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus.
