A classic and wonderful CD

I was given the tape of the lullabyes when I was a little girl by my mom. And after I had my daughter last year, I was going through some old boxes and found it. It put her to sleep right away, just like it did me. So, when I found that they still made it and in a CD, I had to get it! I am so glad I get to share this with my daughter

Second Generation

My mom bought this as a cassette tape when I was kid and it was our favorite. I've got almost the entire albumn memorized and have been singing it's songs for years. I sang Appalacian Lullabye in music competitions in high school and sang it to the kids I babysat growing up. I even sang these songs to the children in the orphanage I volunteered in, in the Former Soviet Union. Now I'm 26 years old and the mother of a 7 month old and I've been singing and humming these melodies to him since before he was even born. This is a truly unique collection and is now lulling it's second generation to sleep.

This is the BEST CD--my baby loves it!!

Ok I have no affiliation to the makers of this CD. I got it on the recommendation of a friend.

I popped this CD in the player, which was on my dresser, and my 11 month old crawled over to the dresser, stood up and held on to the ledge, and started rocking back and forth! She loves it and now she is 13 months. (We play it in the day during playtime, not at naptime)

This CD is good for several reasons. First, whomever is singing the songs (it's unclear from the packaging) has a rich, sweet voice (kind of like Karen Carpenter's)that doesn't get annoying after you hear the songs over and over (and you will). I have a couple of other CDs that get really annoying by the 3rd time you hear it, but not this one. The first time my husband heard it he said, "Who is singing these songs? Her voice is beautiful; she must be some famous singer."

Secondly, the songs are really catchy.

Third, the whole back part of the CD is the music of each song without the singer--so you can sing the song to your baby yourself. It's a great idea, and what I'm doing is taping myself singing the songs so I can play it in her room.

I recommend this CD.
