notes

R.C. Cole and Deena Cole are a husband and wife song writing team based in Nashville. R.C. has been writing songs and playing in bands most of his life. Deena began working with kids in her teens. When the two married and started a family, the kid's songs came naturally.

"After the kids went to bed, we would write songs instead of watching TV. The result was this collection of little songs written for our kids," says Deena.

These "little" songs however, ended up getting them some big jobs writing for Sesame Workshop and The Jim Henson Co.

They have written songs for the hit shows Bear In The Big Blue House and Book Of Pooh on the Disney Channel. Their songs have been included on the Chicken Soup For Little Souls CD, by the authors of the well known book series, as well as
Bear In The Big Blue House CDs, videos and live performances.

They are also on the Playhouse Disney 2 CD and have been busy preparing the Cole Family Album for release. "These are the songs that started it all. They're like our babies," says Deena.

"We're very lucky to have so many talented friends here in Nashville to help bring these songs to life in the studio," said R.C.

The Cole Kids, Robbie and Melody have also contributed to the project. The song "Have You Ever Wondered" was co-written by Melody when she was only seven. Both Melody and Robbie, along with some of their friends, sing backup vocals on some of the tracks. But most importantly, both kids served as the inspiration for
The Cole Family Album

    I love this CD! I'm a parent as well as a young children's music and movement educator. The music is fresh, lively and has such wonderful lyrics. I can't stop singing It Takes All Kinds - what a wonderful message to give our world!

  • My 6 month old twins LOVE it, and so do I!

    I ordered this CD after reading a review about it in our local paper and I'm glad I did. The songs are fun and catchy...we end up singing them throughout the day. My 6 month old twins just light up when the music comes on or someone starts singing one of the tunes. I highly recommend this CD for anyone with kids and plan on giving it as a gift to my family and friends.

  • loved it

    Love the sound and variety. The calypso sound of Good Feeling will be the start of everyday in my second grade classroom!

  • The Cole Family Album Rocks... And I don't even have kids!

    Finally, a children’s record that I listen to over and over again and never tire of ! And I don’t have any children! When my friends R.C. and Deena played me several of the songs they were planning to record for The Cole Family Album I begged to be a part of it! The music was so catchy that “ It Takes All Kinds” , “ Good Feeling” or “ Me & My Dog” would not leave my head! And being a successful songwriter and performer for almost 20 years myself, I knew a good song when I heard it. The lyrics are fun, entertaining and often poignant without “dumbing down” to the everyday children’s fare we have all grown weary of. R.C. and Deena Cole should be commended for the undeniable quality of this project. I, for one, can’t wait to sing on the next one !

    Finally, a collection of songs that appeal to children of all ages. What the Coles have put together is really much more than just a collection of songs. These songs truly capture the spirit of childhood, the fun of learning, and the importance of family all while entertaining us with clever lyrics and friendly melodies. The messages within the music promote tolerance, optimism, fond memories, and fun. This is one family album that definitely has something to offer everyone. - Lorraina Scholten, Ed.D., MSSW
