Cradle Rock CDs Review and Giveaway

I remember those days when I was up in the middle of the night, rocking a baby. Desperately trying to get the baby to go to sleep. Lights dimmed, rocking back and forth, and lullabies playing in the background.


Most of those lullabies, I had no clue what they were. Nothing that I knew, not even after countless replayings. Or nothing that really appealed to me.


Enter the Cradle Rock lullabies. Music that takes into consideration not only the child but the parent, too! They are made to appeal to a variety of music lovers' taste, based on familiar songs that we already love as adults. The melodic structure and tempo of each song stays true to the original but each song is now a lullaby.


I was sent Cradle Rock: Country (Kenny Chesney's "No Shoes, No Diaper, Might Be  Problem), Cradle Rock Pop (Michael Jackson's "Thrillaby"), and another Cradle Rock: Country (Johnny Cash's "I Crawl the Line") to review. There are more albums in production, including U2’s “The Joshua Sleep Tree,” Black Eyed Peas’ “Sleep-pea Hits” as well as lullaby albums inspired by Nickelback, Carrie Underwood and The Eagles to name a few.

Being a Kenny Chesney fan, I opened that cd first. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. After all, one of the songs on the cd is "Beer in Mexico." I couldn't imagine singing "I just sit right here and have another beer in Mexico" to my child. Think it, absolutely, but not sing it.


Silly me. There are no words, just a lullaby tune that sounds like the song I know and love. I think these cds make for lullaby music that a parent can actually enjoy while their child is listening to it. And maybe make you smile as you hear the peaceful music in the background but start singing along to yourself, "Cause this is thriller, thriller night!"
