Editorial Reviews
The Times Picayune, October 2, 2001
McCormick's voice is stamped on every cut, establishing that it was high time he stepped out on his own.

Product Description

Song-by-Song:

1. "Take Me Home with You" (Jim McCormick)

"Kim Carson heard me playing it in its infancy a couple of years ago and asked if she could get a copy of it. Little did I know it would become one of the standout tracks on her 1998 record Tonkabilly."

2. "Dream Farm" (Jim McCormick)

"Another gift, so to speak. The song seemed to have been written already when I started to transcribe what was in my head. I'd let go of a great girl who I knew was going to make somebody real happy one day. It just wasn't my time. Bill and Skeet snuck in one weekend and laid down the background harmonies."

3. "Angels that Never Went Back" (Jim McCormick)

"Dennis Johnson is a superb contemporary American poet and novelist. I had read his books of poetry over the years and checked one of his novels, called Angels, out of the library to read. Never did. But the book sat on my coffee table for weeks, and its cover inspired me to write a song about a couple of old friends and myself."

A Surprise Gem.......2007-04-30

Trying to find new musicals, I recently stumbled on this production of "Just So". I must say, I was really impressed with this show. Every song is catchy and interesting. Few of the songs were really good on their own, without the context of the musical, but altogether, the show as a whole was what impressed me. I would really like to see a production of this someday.

Wonderful!!!!.......2007-03-19

My school did this musical and it was AWESOME!!!! I was a Wallaby and Our group sang Leaps & Bounds, Just So, Limpopo River, Wait a Bit, and Just So Finale. It was a really fun musical to be a part of!!! I also suggest "Honk" Our school did that musical too!!!

Just So wonderful!.......2007-03-17

I recently saw a local production of "Just So", performed by middle school students. Loved the show so much, it prompted me to get the CD. The soundtrack and the show tell great stories based on Rudyard Kipling's "Just So Stories" -- such as how the zebra got its stripes, the rhino got baggy skin, and the kangaroo got its bounce. Almost every song is a winner. I have been listening to it repeatedly for weeks straight, and I'm still as anxious to put it on as when I first got it. My kids have asked to hear it again and again, and we have all memorized the songs. "Just So", "Living on this Island", "We Want to Take the Ladies Out", and "The Parsee Cake Walk" are favorites. If you have the opportunity to see the show, it will really bring the soundtrack to life. This one is a keeper!

Some good songs, but doesn't have the wow factor I have come to expect!.......2006-09-09

I had high expectations of this musical, as I am a huge fan of Honk! And I'll admit, there are some pretty catchy numbers. I particularly like Just So and The Limpopo River. Of course, these numbers became reprised throughout the show with even more heightened melodies and fantastic harmonies. But overall, in a musical, I enjoy listening to the one song that just grabs you and leaves you almost breathless. Unfortunately on this level, 'Just So' fails to deliver. 'Wait a Bit' comes close but just when you think the note of notes will be sung, you are left hanging with an anti-climax. 'Leaps and Bounds' is a fun number but I'm not sure these two or three good numbers will be enough to capture audience attention.
If you have heard of Seussical, with the elephant and the bird, then you will alo recognise the amazing similarities with the 'Just So' Elephant and Bird relationship. And guess what, this bird can't fly for a time either!!
A "nice" musical, but not one I would rave about.
