Personally I love the concept behind the Cradle Rock cds. I’ve seen cds featuring kid-friendly versions of pop tunes, but I’ve never thought of lullabies! I think this is such a great way to bond with your baby. You can play him/her a soft tune to sleep by that’s also catchy and familiar to you. Brilliant!
I happen to be a huge country fan, but I also love oldies, and I like some pop and rock, so it was really neat to get to listen to the lullabies featuring music from Michael Jackson, Kenny Chesney, and Johnny Cash.
First off, I loved the way the music was arranged. The songs were immediately recognizable, yet even the most upbeat of songs were soft and soothing. Upon receiving this collection to review, I was most interested to hear how Michael Jackson’s music was going to be incorporated into lullabies. Growing up, Thriller was my brother’s favorite tape, and “Beat It” was his favorite song. I have to admit that I giggled a bit when I first started listening to the song, but I have to say that the arrangement worked! The song was made into a great lullaby!
Secondly, as I listened to the cds, I came across some songs that I knew extremely well and others that I wasn’t very familiar with. But interestly, I actually enjoyed the unfamilar songs just as much as the ones I knew. I mean, obviously if you purchased a cd of Kenny Chesney lullabies, you must be a big fan and would know all the songs, but what I’m trying to say is that, I think someone could pop in one of these cds, knowing absolutely nothing about the artists, and they would still really enjoy the musical experience.
Overall I think babies and parents alike will enjoy these cds. The musical arrangements are very whimsical, yet soothing, and although I love traditional children’s music, I think parents will definitely welcome the change from the traditional lullabies and kid’s music they may be accustomed to. And with other artists like Carrie Underwood and Nickelback having their music added to the collection, I think everyone should be able to find something they would like to listen to with their baby. I, for one, am very excited that The Eagles are on the list. They’re one of my favorite bands, and I would really love to hear lullaby versions of their hits!
If you have a baby or you’re expecting, and you like any of the Cradle Rock artists, you should definitely check out these cds. And if you know someone who has a baby or is expecting, these cds would make a really great holiday gift!
Disclosure: For this review I recieved copies of the Cradle Rock cds featuring Kenny Chesney, Johnny Cash, and Michael Jackson.
I think I'd most like to hear Johnny Cash b/c I'm a big fan 😀

I got these in the mail over the weekend and they are a lot of fun! As I'd expected, I really enjoy the Michael Jackson songs, but I'm also really liking the Johnny Cash stuff too. Thanks so much
