Product Review
coverAn exciting concept is behind this stellar children's recording
give talented children's performing artists a mission to create a new and original song that runs for only sixty seconds. The result is a fabulous recording, entitled Hear & Gone in 60 Seconds, the whole family will enjoy. The album's 29 tracks are short in length but long on fun and talent.

Some of our favorite songs include one about the unconditional love between parent and child, Forever and Ever by Fred Koch; I'm Not Tired performed and written by one of our favorite children's musicians, Ralph Covert of Ralph's World; and the title track, Hear and Gone, that introduces the "fast" nature of each song on the album. Many of the children's recording artists we feature on the Review Corner are featured artists on Hear and Gone in 60 Seconds, including Justin Roberts (who sings the fabulous "More than a Minute" in...a minute), Jessica Harper, and Katherine Dines.

If you are looking for musical diversity, you will certainly find it on this recording that will also serve well as a sampler of talent. Less energetic folk might get a little dizzy, but most will thoroughly enjoy this outstanding concept album.

Dollar Value
The audio CD retails for approximately $15 US. 

 

The Bottom Line

Fantastic little ditties—29 in all—each running sixty seconds are featured on this outstanding recording. Excellent for sampling today's talent in children's performing artists, this recording is also highly inventive and exciting.
