Ziggy Marley – Family Time

Congratulations to our winners: #3 – Kristie, #15 – Ann, #36 – Jessica, #44 – Donna and #39 – Renee

I’m so stoked about this post/giveaway.  We got our hands on the brand new (to be released Tuesday, May 5th) Ziggy Marley album, “Family Time“.

I can’t stop listening to it.  It’s definitely a “family” album that’s geared toward kids but if you can imagine, it’s totally enjoyable for adults too.  Come on, it’s Ziggy Marley.

Ziggy Marley is bringing music to the LITTLE people!  He is releasing his first children’s album and has invited some family and pretty cool friends to join him on it.  Jack Johnson, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell and Jamie Lee Curtis are only a few of the artists featured on the CD Family Time, in stores May 5th.  In addition to some well known classics like “This Train” and “Hold Him Joe” Ziggy has written many original songs on this release which are endearing tributes to his family with many sage words of wisdom for kids.

There are eleven music tracks on this album with guest appearances by none other than Jack Johnson, Elizabeth Mitchell, Willie Nelson, Paul Simon, etc.  There are two story tracks on the album, narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis.  It’s a perfect album for sunny Spring and Summer days.  You’ll be bopping from the minute you listen.  One of my favorite tracks on the album is “Wings Of An Eagle”.  Elizabeth Mitchell does guest vocals on this song and Dan Littleton plays guitar.  It’s amazing!

We’re giving away FIVE copies of Ziggy’s new album, Family Time!  I’m so happy about this because I want everyone to hear and enjoy this album like we do.

TO ENTER:

The parents here at ParentSphere are big music fans so to enter this contest, we want to know what you’ve been listening to lately.  Doesn’t matter what genre, tell us!  We love to hear it.  We’ve been listening to a lot of, well, everything really.  We’re indie/punk music fans so one of our new favorites has been The Gaslight Anthem and like I said, I’ve been playing this new Ziggy album quite a bit.  The preschooler (and the baby in utero) have really been digging it right along with us.

Leave your entry comment on this post no later than Friday, May 22nd by midnight PST and we’ll pick FIVE winners at random.

*Please note: this giveaway is open to residents of the continental U.S.

While you’re waiting to hear if you’re one of our five winners, check out Ziggy’s video for “Family Time”:

    I’ve been listening to the music tracks on Baby Lentil’s papasan starlight swing! (It plays in my head long after the swinging has stopped) Also, my iTunes American Idol downloads. Otherwise, not too much. But this CD sounds like something we would play over and over

    Lately, I’ve been driving around with the Dan Auerbach CD in the car. I put it down before, but then it started calling me again. Other than that, been listening to Gipsie Kings, some new Raekwon, and old of course, The Black Keys.

    Since I just returned from my son’s wedding in Aruba where salsa, reggae, and the Caribbean beat is the norm, this is pretty much what I listen to all the time now. Have always loved Bob Marley and now so happy that his son Ziggy is carrying on his legacy. My little granddaughters love reggae music and have ever since they were babies! They would love this cd!

    My 2-year-old has been dictating the music lately, so we’ve been listening to Dennis Buck sing The Wheels on the Bus, Six Little Ducks, and If You’re Happy And You Know It. Also, we go to a library storytime where they have all the kids shake beanbags to a song called Bean Bag Rock so I managed to find that CD (by a group called Kimbo) so that we can play it at home too. I would love a little Ziggy Marley and I think she really would too! Thanks!

    Miley Cyrus–I blame my niece for downloading “The Climb” into my iTunes playlist
    Dolly Parton–for some reason my husband bought me Backwoods Barbie from Cracker Barrel the other day…she sings a pretty good version of Fine Young Cannibals “You Drive Me Crazy”!!!
    Sharon, Lois,and Bram’s ABC CD–my daughter picked this up from the library–it goes away in three weeks, thank goodness.
