Rockabye Baby!

I've never really been a big fan of the traditional baby lullabye. If any, I prefer the instumental variety without vocals. And yes, I do think the lullabies are as much for us as they are for the baby! I can not even count the number of midnight feedings or times of simply holding or rocking my babe to sleep in her room (which is why my enormous cup of coffee is a given this very morning!). So after listening to many "so-so" cds, I discovered Rockabye Baby!! Woo hoo! I was pretty excited (smile).

As quoted by Rockabye Baby! "the label was born of the need to make children's music cool-not only for babies but for their parents, too. We turned to our record collections for inspiration: punk, metal, classic rock. The resulting albums are revolutionary yet reverential. In other words, the perfect gift for a newborn, new parents, or yourself."

Rockabye Baby! offers a large collection of albums, ranging from Bob Marley to Metallica! I personally didn't know where to start; I wanted them all!! After purchasing a mix of songs from iTunes, I also picked up Rockabye's lullaby renditions of U2, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones at a local Chapters store. Pretty sure I'll be back for more!
