NEW!! These 24 songs are safe and enjoyable for young and old alike. Divided into Sing-Alongs and Sleepy Songs, this CD is perfect for rambunctious times, bedtime and every time in between. It was released in early 2006, just in time for the 200th birthday of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and also includes childhood favorites like Hole in the Bucket, Hush Little Baby, and The Barnyard Song. A booklet of Lyrics and Recollections about these songs is available for purchase.	Some of the earliest songs Jennifer remembers learning; from the English ballad Johnny has gone for a Soldier, to Jennifer's own Pine Mountain Lullaby, to the silly Catalina Magdalena and other songs that Jennifer learned from her father and siblings on the long trips to the beach when she was a child.
Something Olde - the best of Jennifer's first recording, Our Songs, now no longer available - and Something New - two Jennifer Rose originals plus several others Jennifer hadn't recorded before. Selections include Dance of Love, Star of the County Down, and Black Waters
	Beyond the Starlit Skies: Age-old hymns for the new millennium. Twenty-one traditional hymns, including Bound for the Promised Land, Twilight is Stealing, Be Thou My Vision, and Simple Gifts, sensitively accompanied on guitar or dulcimer, or sung a capella.
The best of the Christmas spirit in song, from Appalachian and ancient Celtic carols to classical favorites, this is Jennifer at her best in both her musical worlds. Selections span five languages and include O, Holy Night; The Cherry Tree Carol; The Coventry Carol; The Holly and the Ivy and Silent Night. Get Lyrics	We have retired "Kentucky Home Tonight," Jennifer's first CD release, recorded in 1995. A few are still in stores, but there will not be any more produced. It rests in the archives with the four cassette recordings Jennifer produced in the early 1990's, and is survived by the five recordings you see on this page. The word is that the title song, Jennifer's first composition ever recorded, will be re-released on an all-original CD in the next couple of years. "Shady Grove" and "What'll I do with the Baby-O" are included on the latest release, "Songs of My Childhood." Congratulations to those of you who have a "Kentucky Home Tonight" CDor cassette - it is now a Collector's Item!
