Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of Black Sabbath Review...

Thanks to Rockabye Baby!, we recently had the opportunity to review Lullaby Renditions of Black Sabbath:
About Rockabye Baby!
"Rockabye Baby! is staffed by music lovers from all corners of the world. Headquartered in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Silver Lake, the label was born of the need to make children's music cool--not only for babies but for their parents too. We turned to our record collections for inspiration: punk, metal, classic rock. The resulting albums are revolutionary yet reverential. In other words, the perfect gift for a newborn, new parents, or yourself.Part of the CMH Label Group, a thirty-year-old independent bluegrass and roots-music stronghold that houses a variety of musical styles under its umbrella, including metal, rap, punk, and string quartet tributes, Rockabye Baby! is the latest addition to a diverse musical family. Says label Vice President Lisa Roth, "First and foremost, we're fans, so we take care to make every album musically interesting enough to satisfy adult listeners. Believe me, making an album that's gentle enough for sleeping babies but won't bore Mom and Dad is trickier than it sounds." Producer/arrangers would agree! The job's not easy, but it's immensely gratifying to hear from pleased parents that Rockabye Baby! is now a treasured piece of their family history.
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. Guitars and drums are traded for soothing mellotrons, vibraphones and bells, and the volume is turned down from an eleven to a two. Rockabye Baby! is the perfect way to share the music you love with the littlest rocker in your life."

What we thought: This was our first introduction to the Rockabye Baby! series of lullaby renditions and simply put...it rocked!! The funniest part was I didn't even know I knew that many Black Sabbath songs until I listened to this CD. It was really neat to hear the original rockin' tunes, but done in such a way that they would be soothing to a baby. Though, I must say when A was tiny, the only music that would calm her down and put her to sleep was hip-hop, but I think most babies would find Lullaby Renditions of Black Sabbath calming and sleep-provoking:) We have been listening to it before rest time and the kiddos love it. I would definitely recommend this CD to Black Sabbath-loving parents who would like to share their love of these classics with their little ones. ABCD Diaries gives Rockabye Baby!
