Why We Rated This on for Ages 2 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    As in many folk songs, rotten behavior is tunefully related - and so is its punishment. "The Miller's Will" describes the fate of a greedy miller; in "When First Unto This Country," a horse thief is thrown in jail.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    No violence, other than (friendly) dueling guitar and mandolin.
  • Sex:

    There are no sexual references.
  • Language:

    These folk classics have no objectionable language.
  • Consumerism:

    There are no references to brand names in these folk songs.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    In "Hot Corn, Cold Corn," the corn refers to corn whiskey, but the drinking references are subtle.
