Music reviews of Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of U2
Music Review: Cool idea for parents and baby alike
Rating: 4 Stars
I gave this CD to my sister-in-law as part of a rock-n-roll themed baby shower gift. I loved the idea of this product from the minute I laid eyes on the Rollingstones version. I originally came across Rockabye Baby! on the Baby Gap web site, but they only carried the Rollingstones version. So.. as I always do with anything that I can't find on other web sites I just searched for it on Amazon to see what I could find. Sure enough Amazon came through again with an amazing selection of these CD's.
I sampled several versions before choosing the U2 version for my soon-to-be nephew. I actually preferred the Bob Marley one, but chose U2 because I knew it would be well received by my brother who is a huge U2 fan. It was also sentimental for us because my brother, his wife and I had all gone to a U2 concert together a few years back. They listened to the whole CD last weekend and really liked it. Now my sister-in-law wants to get the Metallica version. I just wish I was having a baby so I could buy a few of these CD's for myself.
The only thing I didn't like about the U2 version when I heard the tinkling instrumental renditions of the songs was that the songs were almost unrecognizable. If U2 didn't hold sentimental value for me and my brother, who's son this CD is for, I would have chosen a different version - probably Bob Marley, Rollingstones, or The Beatles because their songs were still very recognizable in the lullaby rendition. Overall, this is a very cool product that will definitely be enjoyed by baby and mom alike! I will absolutely be buying and recommending these CD's to other soon-to-be moms in the future.
Description of Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of U2
Rockabye Baby! transforms timeless rock songs into beautiful instrumental lullabies. The soothing sounds of the glockenspiel, vibraphone, mellotron and other instruments will lull your baby into a sweet slumber. If it's timeless you're looking for, you don't have to look much further than Ireland's legendary heroes U2. Their cascading melodies and soundscapes are a perfect foundation for these heavenly lullabies. Introducing your little one to this unforgettable music is the sweetest thing you can do.If you've been operating under the impression that songs with the word "bloody" in the title can't make for good lullabies, guess again: given the Baby Rock treatment, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" sounds infant-tested, sandman-approved. And, more important, not even the tiniest bit absurd. With their glockenspiels, vibraphones, and mellotrons, the Baby Rock magicians have spun sweetness and a soothing vibe into everything from "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "Stairway to Heaven"; given the unthinkable nature of those undertakings, this one seems almost too easy. "All I Want is You" is a little on the snuggly side to begin with, after all, and so is "The Sweetest Thing." No matter how high the bar is set, what's consistent about this series is its knack for getting eyelids to drooping and rock fans to chuckling: Bono and the Sandman make for strange bedfellows, but entertaining ones. --Tammy La Gorce
