Storytime Classics Sing-Along is a young drama queen s (or king s) dream come true. This selection of 12 hits many of them Disney-derived gets served up especially for the starry-eyed. The CD s grown-up from-the-gut voices seem well suited to the soft-favorites radio format and it s not likely to put a spring in its listeners steps. It may however generate a goose bump or two particularly among those with a penchant for the kind of fairy tales that can easily clean a person out of their supply of Kleenex. Standouts include Believe in Yourself from Aladdin (Look at Yourself) You re an Angel from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and A World of Love from Pocohontas but the non-Disney offerings ( Don t Talk to Strangers from Little Red Riding Hood With You I Can from Puff-n-Toot You Can Always Come Home from The Wizard of Oz) also are worthy of special mention. They bring to mind stories that for no good reason aren t as often associated with music. To that end the inclusion of complete lyrics in the liner notes adds to this album s likableness--every story represented by a song on this CD deserves revisiting but it s especially fun to stumble across the ones more apt to slip through a music collection s cracks. --Tammy La Gorce
