Music Review: Mandy Patinkin Kidults

This is a Kids and Adults CD from Mandy Patinkin with guest Kristin Chenoweth.  The duets are what make this cd special.  Some of the songs are too slow, and at one point Patinkin even makes fun of this "Hurry up, you're killing me here." 
For the highlights: "Soon It's Going to Rain" with Chenoweth is a show stopper.  These two really mesh well together.  They also hit a home run together with the medley which includes "Time in a Bottle."  That song brings back good memories.
I really like the story telling in "Everybody Says Don't" and "The King's New Clothes." 
A very special number is "Cat's in a Cradle."  Patinkin adds voice inflection which really highlights the story of this song.  This is very much the high light and I could listen to this over and over.  Written by Harry and Sandra Chapin.
Patinkin also sings the Stephen Sondheim songs, "Not While I'm Around" which is about protecting children from harm.
