This is a real sleeper of an album, literally. Smooth-jazz musicians--including Peter White, Dave Koz, Norman Brown, David Benoit, and others--play music here to put babies to sleep. Fans of New Age music, specifically what came out of the Pacific Northwest in the '80s, may find many of these 14 tracks reminiscent of that period. Long-time listeners of smooth-jazz radio may be reminded of the kind of ethereal, spacey music that was played in the early days of the format. Many of the songs are as obvious as Brian Culbertson's somnambulating "Brahms' Lullaby" and Koz's "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," but some are inspired choices with creative arrangements and strong performances. Koz and his brother Jeff shine on the Beatles' title tune and the other Lennon/McCartney chestnut, "Blackbird." Brown's take on James Taylor's "You Can Close Your Eyes" is also moving, while not straying from the stillness of the concept. Perhaps the standout track is the superb performance of vocalist John Stoddart on Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely." --Mark Ruffin

 Best lullaby CD September 5, 2008
I bought this CD five years ago, and I just fell in love with it. We have been playing this CD almost every night -- origionally for our first born, who's five years old now; and now for our younger one. This is THE CD I brought to the labor room during the birth of both kids. Both times, the OBGYN and nurses have commended that they love this CD too. I have to admit that this is the only CD that we have listened to the most and still not get tired of it.
Parents Love It! September 5, 2008
I have purchased this as a gift on several occassions and have recevied nothing but positive feedback from the parents. They love it!
Great album! July 31, 2008
This album was given as a pre-birth gift and my wife listened to it while she was in labor. John Stoddart's rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" brought her to tears. I thought it was the labor pains but she said it was the song!
The baby is now almost two and she LOVES this CD. She has learned the first bars from Brahms' Lullaby and hums them all the time. She perks up every time we start the CD, that's her cue to go to bed.
Great CD, well worth the price.
 not something children will appreciate June 14, 2008

Maybe it is a good album for these newage or jazz fans, but it is not a good album for children. This album is rather bland, and have a quality of strong resonance. It makes the sound unclear and dark, and hard to listen to.
Beautiful! June 11, 2008
I got this CD when I was pregnant. I listened to it each afternoon while I took a nap. When my baby was born, I continued to play it for him at nap and sleeptime. Both my husband and i laughed because we could hear it playing over the monitor and it would put us happily and peacefully asleep! We still love it 16 months later and play it every day.
