Summary: Rockin' Out, Baby Style
Comment: This series of CDs is absolutely wonderful. I've had a number of baby showers to go to recently, and I always give a couple of these because, as gifts, they are different. They are a consistent hit! I know new moms need lots of diapers and onsies, but something like this, suited to the parents' musical tastes is always appreciated. And I even have a couple that I like to listen to (and I have no kids). They are wonderfully done and soothing, and you'll never get tired of hearing the same "old school" lullaby tunes!

Summary: Just average lullaby cd
Comment: Nice change for parents from the usual lullaby cd's, but not a top pick for putting baby to bed.

Summary: Lullabies across the Universe
Comment: At first,"Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles" sounds like a cheesy concept album. In its own campy way, it works. The Beatles, in their psychedelic period, wrote kid-friendly songs like "Here comes the sun","Strawberry fields","Yellow Submarine" and the cosmic lullaby/meditation "Across the universe." Thankfully,these songs are on the album, albeit in the form of mellotron and glockenspiel.
The Beatles kids' version is superior to the other compilations highlighting Metallica and Nirvana, simply because of the nature of the Fab Four's material. True, it's dumbed-down and slowed-down,but better than having to explain Kurt Cobain's life to the young 'uns or telling them the lyrics to Metallic'a "Anesthesia: Pulling Teeth."
There are some odd omissions,such as "Lucy in the sky with diamonds","Octopus' Garden","Mr. Kite" and "Penny Lane." More kid-friendly songs from the Liverpool quartet. Luckily,they omit "Sexy Sadie","Why don't we do it in the road?" and "Eleanor Rigby."
Still,this is a somewhat New Agey,dumbed-down version of the Beatles. Why not introduce kids to the originals instead? I grew up listening to the Beatles... so why not cross Abbey Road?

Summary: Phenomenal- a lullaby you can enjoy too!!!
Comment: I love this one and the Pink Floyd one- its basically some of the best and most melodic songs on a xyhlaphone but it is beautiful to listen to and you find yourself naturally singing along to your baby- mine loves the both of them. We also have the Zeppelin one, but I think it works best with bands that wrote beautiful songs/melodies. Absolute recommendation for lullaby music- I can't stand most of the other stuff and i don't think my baby can either.

Summary: Shipped quickly!
Comment: A friend of mine and his wife had a baby just days after Christmas, and this was the perfect gift. They shipped it quickly, and now their baby has something that he loves to fall asleep to!

Editorial Reviews:

Golden slumbers await your little pride and joy at the end of lullaby road. The Beatles are the most famous songwriters of the twentieth century. Their songs are known by people of all ages here, there, and everywhere. The dreamy quality of their later work provides the blueprint for these beautiful lullaby interpretations. It will glide your little one out across the universe, through an octopus's garden, and lay them down in a slumberland of strawberry fields.
