Still the Same Me

Still the Same Me by Sweet Honey in the Rock
Youth CD Bins – Music, General

When looking for music to listen to with my child, I want several things. The songs need to appeal to kids without being tedious for adults, and the music needs to be good, authentic music performed by real musicians. Sweet Honey in the Rock is a long-standing all-women, all-black a capella group better known for their music for adults. This is their third album for children, all of them beautifully done. Still the Same Me features a mix of spirituals, contemporary songs, and traditional African music, all of them hard to sit still for. It also has a recurring theme of improvisation, with regular tracks each encouraging kids to join in on a different style. Like most of their work, Still the Same Me is fun, thought-provoking and just plain fabulous music.
