No Description Available No Track Information Available Media Type: CD Artist: ROCKABYE BABY! Title: LULLABY RENDITIONS OF THE BEATLES Street Release Date: 03/13/2007 Domestic
Genre: CHILDREN'S COLLECTIONS
No one will be able to say for sure whether Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles will successfully "glide your little one across the universe, through an octopus's garden, and send them into a slumberland of strawberry fields," as it says it will on the back on the disc, but one thing it won't do is bonk you over the head with the sub-par production you might expect from a novelty disc. The latest CD in the series that has provided hipster parents with wordless, infant-friendly versions of Led Zeppelin, U2, Metallica, and many others takes a turn for the unapologetically melodic here, having its way with classics from "Here Comes the Sun" to "Hey Jude." The result is, as ever, powder-puffy yet inarguably palatable, whether you're the one swaddled in the crib or the one staring down into it waiting for the sandman to arrive. "Michelle" was a dozy song to begin with; here it's a doorway to a peaceful drift-off that, with any luck, will last long enough get the laundry done. --Tammy La Gorce

| It was a good idea so poorly executed as to be jaw-dropping.
When everyone has access to the Beatles transcription book, this guy wings it...using marimba, music box, and rhodes piano settings only, and poorly.
Of course it puts baby to sleep...better to go into a deep sleep than dooze off listing to this music. It uses the same instruments, the same tempo, the same key thoughout.
I am now dreading the arrival of my Led Zeppelin version. |
| Perfect for baby and parent! | 2010-02-11 | 5 / 5 |
| | These cds are a great addition to our bedtime music library. They're soft and sweet for the baby, but yet music that the parent can enjoy instead of the same old lullaby songs. |

| | All the songs are 100% recognizable, fun to listen to, and my newborn loves it as much as I! |
| Good but not great. Get the "More Beatles" Rockabye Baby CD instead. | 2009-12-21 | 3 / 5 |
| We started playing music in our infant's nursery after our first visit to his daycare, where we noticed them playing music in the crib room to provide white noise for the sleeping babies. The idea of a lullaby-ized version of music we already enjoy listening to appealed to us, so we started out with a couple of the titles in the Rockabye baby series. We've enjoyed them so much that we're now up to ~15 of these, if for no other reason than to provide US with some variety as we rock our child before putting him down for the night. By removing the words and playing the songs at a more or less constant volume, they provide a soothing bedtime experience without the sudden changes in volume and tempo that might otherwise startle or excite a child that you're trying to get (and then keep) asleep.
I was particularly excited to try this disc out when we started buying albums in the series, as I have always been a huge Beatles fan. Although some of the songs on this album are good, the album as a whole just isn't up to par with some of the other CDs in the series. Having said that, all is not lost for Beatles fans looking for lullaby music for their infant - as I alluded to in the title, the "More Lullaby Renditions of the Beatles" album that was released in 2009 is significantly better in my opinion, and is definitely worth getting. That's not to say that you should avoid this CD, only that if I was choosing between the two, I'd start with the other one and seriously consider some of the other titles listed below first.
For parents looking for top CDs we have tried in this series, I would highly recommend the Coldplay (our favorite of the 15 we have), Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, and Beach Boys albums. |
