Our Favorites
When my little one was just a baby, I don’t think you could count how many times we listened to the built-in soundtrack of the baby swing… even though my son was rarely ever in it! He loved the soothing sound of the music, and at first it was a great fix for a fussy baby. But, after the 900th round of “BINGO,” I was at the point where the sound of crying would have been a welcome change!
I’m not sure if the ROCKABYE BABY CD’s were around when my guy was an infant, but I can tell you… I wish I had had some! The ROCKABYE BABY CD’s were among the other products featured with our crib sets on Ellen’s Mother’s Day show this year. These CD’s are becoming increasingly popular, and you’ve probably seen them popping up on most baby must-have lists out there.
I couldn’t help but be curious and a little skeptical about these CD’s. With covers from bands like AC/DC, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith…I wasn’t so sure how they would pull off the lullaby rock song. However, trust me… these CD’s are definitely not the Wiggles singing rock n’ roll. They are simply the classics- but dreamy versions with soothing bells and instruments in place of drums and guitars. Not only are they soothing for baby…they are totally entertaining to the adult listener. The Beach Boys edition leaves you with a happy go lucky sun-soaked feeling…while the Elvis Presley CD is a total kick! They are the same rock songs you know and love- all made into sweet and beautiful lullabies. The Beatles, Coldplay, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, the Eagles and more…there’s no doubt you’ll find a favorite (or two) to add to your baby’s first music collection. You can visit www.rockabyebabymusic.com to listen to/purchase their CD’s. I have fun just browsing through their songs on their website! My favorite? ROCKABYE BABY: The Beatles.
ROCKABYE BABY also has what they call their “country cousin” companion CD series, HUSHABYE BABY. With artists such as Garth Brooks, Rascal Flats, Taylor Swift, and Carrie Underwood, there are plenty of country favorites to choose from with this collection as well. My favorite on the country side? Hushabye Baby: Johnny Cash. The HUSHABYE BABY website can be found at www.hushabyebabymusic.com.
These CD’s are one of my latest favorite shower gifts to give. I can’t wait to buy some of my own my next time around so my little family can take a break from “Bingo” and be swayed into relaxation with the soothing sound of some rock n’ roll on our playlist!
