And it includes 4 volumes! Pretty crazy to pay more than double for just one more.

It does say that it contains special "advanced piano" for 15 songs.

And although I think $65 is expensive, it's not crazy to pay any amount of money for something Abie related...

On the bright side, people can now make music without going bankrupt.

There are a bunch of new albums out though. Just not necessarily ones you'd like. (Gavriel has a great new album "Introvert" for example)

In an offhand comment the other day, my father said that he likes to listen to Jewish music streams while he works but has found only one that he likes - a Chabad music stream. He didn't say which. (We are litvish in mahus and physically from Riminov.) He said that it seems to be the only one that is "not jivy" and "full of heart," adding, "They play a lot of Avraham Fried."
This is quite profound, coming from a professional like him.

Just to be a grump:

AFAIK Rebbee Alter was NOT the composer of Paroh in Pajamas. He may have been the lyricist, but the tune is a much older tune to the words of Boruch Elokeinu.

As sung by Avraham Fried here (but obviously much older): https://open.spotify.com/track/6v17c6K6Cl8lvs4yQv3EUG?autoplay=true

The cat majority of small children's songs are like that

He is probably referring to headlines such as this one:
