Golden Slumbers: A Father's Lullaby

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
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

Very peaceful.......2007-06-22

I took a very long time deciding which lullaby CD that I wanted to purchase for my baby. I bought this while I was pregnant and it turns out that this CD soothes the whole family. I highly recommend Golden Slumbers: A Father's Lullaby for everyone.

Buy this CD for the great music and the smiling baby on the cover.......2007-06-08

The sleeping baby on daddy's shoulder makes me smile every time I see it. It's worth buying the CD just to get that picture.

These lullabies were created by musicians for their new borns. It's sort of gentle, sweet jazz, easy to listen to while falling asleep. I listen to it every night. I also bought the Beatles Lullaby CD and the Baby Einstein Lullabys. (insomnia) Golden Slumbers is the best of them all.

Great bedtime Music for Kids and Parents.......2007-06-03

I love the CD. It is so soothing and relaxing. I play it every night for my twin daughters during "wind down time." It is really beautiful.

Music CD.......2007-05-13

My son loves it and so do I! There should be more music like this! He loves the music and it's so very soothing. It really helps get my son in the mood for bedtime when I start the CD. Parents should consider making this apart of bedtime rituals!

Superb -- our favorite!.......2007-05-12

This is a great lullabye CD -- terrific tunes done beautifully. It is a great way to get baby to calm down for naps or for the night. We play it virtually every night for our 5 month old. We've bought other lullabye CDs, but this one is the best we've tried. I listen to it myself after baby has gone to sleep!
