Catchy, fun, enjoyable for all ages. Good variety, good lyrics
author: sherry wells
A variety of tunes with catchy lyrics. Songs made me smile and music was fun. Although I bought it for my grandson, the adults all loved it. I have listened to Dan Zane, the Bergner Band, etc. and find this equally, if not more, enjoyable.

This CD is heartwarming, entertaining, nostalgic and brilliant!
author: Angela Tomaselli
This CD is wonderful because it speaks to the child as well as the adult. Most CD's for children are trite, condescending, thoughtless, and repetitive. A View From the Back of the Car breaks from this traditional mold. The CD is for children, but adults will also find it entertaining and thoughtful. I really appreciated the variation and experimentation with different musical styles which makes the CD fresh and exciting. I was very impressed!

A first class musical joyride for kiddies and grownups alike.
author: Elizabeth Rose
"The View (from the back of the car) - Ditties for Kiddies of All Ages" from artist Stanley Schwartz & Friends is a first class musical joyride along the imagination highway for kiddies and grownups alike. Pop music maven Schwartz, last seen on the Tonight Show playing with Leon Redbone, masters the ditty. His verbal and musical wit embraces each cut. Every tune, from the title cut to the bouncy "Easy As Can Be" is great fun and instantly sing-able. Adults: you have permission to slide out of the responsibilities of the driver's seat, climb into the back and stoke your dreams as you watch the road traveled recede. The song, "Blues Lullabye" is a classic. With an unforgettable melody, it instantly attaches itself to the heart. Influences: Randy Newman, Dr. John, Gershwin, the best of American pop music. This is a wonderful cd. Keep one in your car. Elizabeth Rose Castellow, feature writer, national music magazines.
