Lullaby Renditions of The Beatles

This CD is so cute!! If you are a beatles fan like me you will love the CD as much as your baby. It's relaxing for when your baby goes to bed as well as for those 2:00 am feedings, it helps to keep you entertained while your trying to keep your eyes pryed open. It's interesting to hear the songs that you know and love being played in lullabye fasion.

Hopefully the songs will get stuck deep in my child's head so she will grow up to appreciate real music instead of the mindless garbage that is being produced today by the recording industry.

My daugther got this for her 2nd birthday. It's definitely one of our favorite bedtime CD's. It's very calming and relaxing...it's a great baby shower gift as well!

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!

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

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?
