New Wedding Traditions Vol. 1

I purchased this Cd in 2009 before my son got married. The song from mothers to sons brought me to tears. I sang it at the rehearsal dinner and had everyone in tears. We then danced to it at the wedding for the mother/son dance.Somewhere between then and now, I broke the CD. I felt awful but was happy to find it on AmazonWell worth it to get.

This is the best CD I've ever bought for wedding songs. Absolutely love it.

Used for daughter's wedding and hope to use for son's. As described.

New Wedding Traditions Volume I has the one song that I wanted plus many more really good songs. recommend this CD.

Loved it!

I purchased this album for one song (A Song for My Son). While listening to the album I discovered that the rest of the songs were also really beautiful. The album also encloses the words for the songs, so you can sing along as I did while you dance. "A Song for My Son" is the song that my son and I danced to for the mother son dance at his wedding reception. The words were just what I wanted to say to him and it was a very memorable occasion for us. I wish I had had this song for my oldest sons wedding some 10 years ago. I also thought the songs "A Song for My Daughter", songs for the Bride one from the Dad and the one from the Mom, where excellent. I am going to share this album with other family members that enjoyed the song and have children who will marry soon. If there is a wedding in your future this is a great album for many special events during the reception. Enjoy!!!

I've purchased a few wedding CDs, since I am doing research for possibily coming out with my own wedding CD, and I wish I had heard the songs before I purchased this. I am a classicaly-trained musician who plays weddings (I play violin) and I also play in orchestras. Don't get me wrong, the songs are OK, but I agree with a previous reviewer who said that the singer sounds like a bad lounge singer. This music is what you might hear at a wedding at a bar or in a movie like "My Cousin Vinny." Not all great wedding music has to be classical (although much of it is), but you should know what you're getting, and with no sound clips, it might not be obvious to the non-musician. It strikes me as funny that almost every review does not list a name, not even a "fake" name, and they almost all say "A music fan." I think this reviewer is the person/people who made the CD, and they are adding their own positive reviews to these listings. However, there are a couple of negative ones thrown in for good measure, so maybe either I'm wrong, or those bad ones are to offset the real ones so they look "real." Am I being a little parnoid? Perhaps, althought this all seems a little fishy. So, BEWARE! There seems to be a LOT this going on in the occasional music section of Amazon, particularly with wedding music. I guess that at least on Amazon, there's nothing you can do about it-you just have to listen to the clips and use your ears, and for this CD there are none.

I ran across this album on the New Wedding Traditions website when I was trying to find a song that would be good for my mother to walk me down the aisle. I immediately fell in love with "A Song For My Daughter". Amazon sold the album for less money so I bought it from here. "A Song For My Daughter" was everything I expected it to be, it was just beautiful, but I think the male vocalist sounds better than the female. It came with the instrumental version of the song so my vocalist can sing along to the music. The rest of the album is ok, but not as good as I would have expected for [the price]. The lyrics of the songs are all pretty, but I think Mikki sounds a lot like a bad lounge singer. So if you have your own singer, buy it for the instrumentals, they are all wonderful.
