I suppose it's a good sign, as a reviewer, that a bedtime songs album would begin putting you to sleep as you give it a listen. Released alongside a Sunday School collection of songs, the Veggie Tales crew have also put together a collection of tender lullabies entitled Junior's Bedtime Songs, sung by the little asparagus himself. The project opens with Junior begging his mother to stay up a little longer, which she lets him do, but with the agreement that he would sing bedtime songs while in bed. "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" is the sweet opener that sets the album's mood, a beautifully arranged project to comfort a child before setting sail off to dreamland.
Junior's voice hasn't sounded cuter than on this project. Among the 15 songs, the styles and vocals tend to vary a little. "A Bushel and a Peck" is a short, more upbeat tune, while "(They Long to Be) Close To You" is a soft ballad featuring Junior's mother's vocals accompanied by a children's choir set to a piano and harmonica backdrop. "Are You Sleeping?" is a cute traditional tune where Junior leads a children's choir in a repetitive chorus that has been updated VeggieTales style.
Junior's Bedtime Songs is an excellent collection of soothing tunes for your child to enjoy before bedtime. A cure for restless nights and a great way to set your mind on the things of Heaven before a night's rest. Hey, I think I'll go try this out myself. Night, folks!
