As I sift through old posts that I think still have value, one recent one is my annual list of best family music recordings (of those released between November 1, 2009 and October 31, 2010). I am trying to recreate it from old drafts, so I hope this is at least close to how I ranked them in January. To see reviews of many of these albums, click over to the Family Man Recommends section,
1. Randy Kaplan – The Kids Are All Id
2. The Pop Ups – Outside Voices
3. Dean Jones and Various Artists – Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti
4. Charity and the JAMBand – Party Like a Twinkle Star
5. Elizabeth Mitchell – Sunny Day
6. Sugar Free All Stars – Funky Fresh and Sugar Free
7. Justin Roberts – Jungle Gym
8. Renee and Jeremy – C’Mon
9. Debbie and Friends – More Story Songs and SIngalongs
10. Okee Dokee Brothers – Take It Outside
Honorable mentions go out to the new albums by Ani Zola, Recess Monkey, The Flannery Brothers, Ralph’s World, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, Rani Arbo & daisey mayhem, Bill Harley, Keller Williams, Alastair Moock, and The Not-Its.
