Getting it Together and Other Nursery Songs

On his first Folkways Records release, vocal coach and Sesame Street songwriter Edgar Kendricks presents a collection of children’s songs accompanied by piano. Each song contains a lesson, such as counting, the alphabet, and anatomy. Kendrick’s performance style, a seamless blend of gospel music and traditional nursery rhymes, gives the record a subdued air, perfect for lulling children off to sleep.
