CD Review - John Brendan Russell, "Family Portrait"
By Alyice Edrich of The Dabbling Mum
"Family Portrait is a clever, upbeat music CD that not only gets the family in dancing around the house but leaves everyone in a good mood. If there was one word to describe this CD, it would be: Heartwarming.
Designed for families with young children, Russell captures the heart and soul of the American family. His old-fashioned storytelling, set to music, offers a wonderful way of instilling family values without sounding preachy.
I really enjoyed Itty Bitty Bed, it reminded me of my favorite jazz man—Louis Armstrong. If you’re looking for something the entire family can enjoy, pick up a copy of Family Portrait today."
