A Child’s Celebration of Lullaby Reviews
A Child’s Celebration of Lullaby
The selections on this gentle, embracing collection are made with integrity. The artists who perform are as varied as Lena Horne, Raffi and Jerry Garcia; what they have in common are sweet melodies and vocals. Horne sings her unforgettable rendition of Gershwin’s “Summertime”; the late Grateful Dead icon, with notable musician David Grisman, turns in an unexpectedly moving “Shenandoah Lullaby”; “Brahm’s Lullaby” is tenderly rendered by Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville. Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s hushed rhythms are heard in “Be Still My Child”; Taj Mahal’s “Little Brown Dog” is nothing short of breathtaking and Harry Nilssen’s “Blanket for a Sail” is magical. Even Maria Muldaur’s quirky “Melancholy Baby” and Kathie Lee Gifford’s sentimental “Cody’s Song” snuggle into this company nicely. A 1998 Parents’ Choice� Gold Award. Reviewed by Lynne Heffley, Parents’ Choice� 1998
This product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com’s standard return policy will apply.A soothing collection of traditional and contemporary lullabies from luminaries such as Linda Ronstadt and Aaron Neville, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Lena Horn, A Child’s Celebration of Lullaby is a sweet treat for both parent and child. Standouts include “Light Up the World” by Joanne Shenandoah and “Lullaby,” gloriously performed by Brian Wilson and Van Dyke Parks. The key word here is gentle–all the songs bleed one into the other in similar quietude and drifting lilt (which for sleepytime is a positive thing). Not as stimulating or culturally diverse as other collections, Lullaby is nonetheless a stalwart naptime companion and a blessing for cranky parents. –Paige La Grone

Lullaby Renditions of Metallica Reviews
Lullaby Renditions of Metallica
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, melltoron and other instruments will lull your baby into a sweet slumber.
On this album, they’ll enjoy Metallica’s biggest anthems without the pesky earplugs you didn’t bother to wear growing up. We’ve turned down the volume from an eleven to a two, and made the bed ourselves. Say your prayers little one. Tonight the sandman will be gently rocking you to sleep with these essential masterpieces of rock ‘n’ roll.It’s a funny thing with Rockabye Baby’s Lullaby Renditions of Metallica–the disc is both all about the music and it’s not. Consider it: on the one hand, here is a righteous, fully recognizable assortment of vintage Metallica tunes, including “Master of Puppets,” “Enter Sandman,” and “Nothing Else Matters.” On the other, what’s to stop a suburban massage parlor from passing it off as another generic, therapeutically new-age soundtrack to release tension by? Not a lot. The point being that this is a strangely versatile disc, but one no Metallica-loving new parent should be without. Starting, appropriately enough, at “One,” producer and performer Michael Armstrong reduces Kirk Hammett’s once rib-crushing riffs to xylophone and toy piano; “Fade to Black” becomes powder-puff pink, “(Anesthesia) Pulling Teeth” becomes more like “(Band-Aid) Kissing a Boo-Boo.” Somewhat miraculously, what once was suitable listening for leather-wearers only becomes music to fasten Pampers by. Enjoyably. Upping the gift-appeal factor is Metallica’s inarguably cool liner notes: scissors, string, tape, and a hole punch turns them into a heavy-metal mobile to hang over baby’s bed. –Tammy La Gorce
