Ladysmith Black Mambazo,
Danny Glover
Children unfamiliar with Ladysmith Black Mambazo's a cappella harmonies (from Gift of the Tortoise and their other fabulous CDs) are in for a sonic treat with this adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's How the Leopard Got His Spots. This Rabbit Ears production details the friendship of a leopard and a character simply called the Ethiopian. From the yellow wash of Africa's plains to the animal's necessary migration to forest land, the tale follows the confusion and ensuing acclimatisation of being relocated from one's homeland. Specifically, as the tale goes, the leopards' coat changes to provide camouflage in the "blotchy" forest, which explains the origin of thei...

Mark Isham,
Glenn Close
From the celebrated Rabbit Ears series comes an enchanting morality play from well-loved classicist Hans Christian Anderson: The Emperor and the Nightingale. In far away China, a small bird's rapturous singing enchants an emperor. Preferring a bejeweled mechanical bird over the nightingale's rather plain appearance, the ruler forsakes the source of the entrancing songs for many years, until, on his deathbed, he learns the true value of the of the nightingale's melody. Several lesser characters--such as the young kitchen maid--play pivotal roles in this eventual truth. Accompanied by the richly dissonant tones of the traditional Asian music, Glenn Close is a marvelo...

Ry Cooder
The over-the-top comedic style of Robin Williams lends this Rabbit Ears tale high energy and hilarity. Williams, a master of many voices, twists and twangs through the wild, wild West as the legendary Pecos Bill, who, raised by coyotes, becomes the quintessential cowboy on his mustang, Widow Maker. The larger-than-life Bill befriends and amazes the other riders on the range, organizes the first-ever cattle drive, and rides a cyclone across the West, creating the Great Salt Lake in the process. Ry Cooder, who had a hand in scoring Paris, Texas and pulling together the classic Cuban Buena Vista Social Club extravaganza, provides a fun Western soundtrack. Kids...

B.B. King,
Denzel Washington
Against a driving blues back beat provided by BB King, Denzel Washington tells the story of legendary African-American worker John Henry. As the story goes, Henry is born with a hammer in his hand and begins to talk at a mere two hours old--and asks for enormous amounts of soul food, no less! Rising out of the cotton fields of the southeast as a strapping young man, Henry strikes out to see the world around him, stumbling upon his destiny: the railroad. John Henry, with "arms big as oak stumps" and a chest "big as a barrel", joins the multiracial crew, singing and hammering his way into American lore. Washington, his voice rising and falling in the pleasing vernacular of ...

Herbie Hancock,
Whoopi Goldberg
In this delightfully told tale, a young boy sets out to prove himself worthy of his village's respect and alms; after all, he is a chief's son. Yet this proof is not to come easily, and it is only after befriending a snake, an ant, and an alligator that the boy is saved from the perils of a boiling stewpot--in which he was to go as an intended ingredient! From the fine Rabbit Ears collection comes this African folk tale, as told by veteran yarn spinner Whoopi Goldberg. Goldberg varies her voice with each character, growing loud and soft, reeling the listener in as the plot unfolds. Jazzman Herbie Hancock, whose "Rockit" was an early-'80s megahit on MTV, provides a stimula...
