Family Time (by Children's Music)

FAMILY TIME is the Grammy-winning, kid-oriented album from Ziggy Marley -- son of Bob, arguably the most famous reggae artist ever. Ziggy has long created his own music, sharing his dad's flair for reggae yet leaving out many of the drug references that were contained in his father's songs. In his new album, Ziggy takes the clean content to the max, gearing all of the songs toward young children. With lots of fun, action-oriented lyrics that are bound to keep kids interested and occupied for the duration of the CD (for example:  "Ziggy says wiggle your nose … Ziggy says wiggle your toes"), Family Time is an overall great choice for young kids.

With kids wanting their favorite albums played on endless repeat, any music that's equally appealing to parents is a particular plus. Family Time is one of those albums: though the lyrics are squarely in kids' camp, the reggae-infused tones sound like something you'd hear on any adult contemporary station. The respectable roster of guest artists -- Jack Johnson, Paul Simon, and Willie Nelson, to name a few -- adds to the adult appeal.
