Daddies Sing GoodNight: A Fathers' Collection of Sleepytime Songs

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Inspired by 1992's 'Til Their Eyes Shine: The Lullaby Album, an all-female collection of sleepy-time songs for children, Daddies Sing Good Night proves that men are no less tender in nurturing their wee ones. Or at least that's true of these men--including Jesse Winchester, Doc Watson, Peter Rowan, and the late Townes Van Zandt--who wrote the songs for their own offspring, and, in their day jobs, rank among the finest practitioners of folk, country, and bluegrass. In guiding their young charges to dreamworld, these fathers visit exotic lands, lonesome prairies, and even the wide heavens on the gossamer wings of horses. Parental listeners will likely detour into the recesses of their own hearts, in exploring the special bond and soothing strength of fatherhood. --Alanna Nash

A beloved favorite in our household for 3 children (and their parents).......2006-12-14

We've listened to this music through the course of three babies and now three young children, who still select it as one of their favorites for nighttime music. Particular favorites are Tim and Mollie O'Brien's "Hush While The Little Ones Sleep", Michael Doucet's Cajun chanson to his son Ezra, Peter Rowan's haunting "On The Wings Of Horses", and Leon Redbone's typically old-timey "Russian Lullaby". Doc Watson, Townes Van Zandt and dobro genius Jerry Douglas turn in beautiful performances, too. But all the tracks have their own magic. Highly recommended for those who like roots Americana, folk and bluegrass.

Not What I was expecting.......2006-06-18

I was looking forward to giving this to my husband for his first Fathers Day and was expecting sweet mellow lullabies, I had to take it out of CD player after the 3rd song. We were extremely disappointed in this purchase

Lovely for naptime and mellow-time........2006-05-17

I got this from our local library to test it out with my 15-month-old daughter -- my husband is a country & folk music fan, so I thought I'd get it for his benefit. But, after just two days, I returned it and raced to the store to buy it for MY benefit. The only other lullaby CD I've liked so strongly is Putomayo's "Dreamland." "Daddies Sing Goodnight" is a wonderful mix of music, some cowboy-ish, some bluegrass, some just folksy. "Sweet Baby James" is gorgeous, and "Long Timey Ago" always makes me get a little choked up. I'm surprised that one reviewer says the songs/voices are scary, as that hasn't been our experience -- in fact, we find this a great calming, happy CD for mellow times, not just for naptimes. We're getting to know the songs well enough to sing along, which just adds to the pleasure.

scary songs.......2006-02-25

Based on other reviews I picked this cd for my 6 month old for something different than lullabys. Big mistake. The voices are so low and dark that he is scared of it. I use music in the car to calm him since I can't reach him in the back and this music just gets him more upset. Maybe he'll grow into it- for the price I paid I hope so- there are much less expensive collections he just loves.

Great for young and old.......2005-10-06

My mom bought my husband this CD when I was pregnant with our first. It has comforted us through births, car rides, and bedtimes. A great soothing CD.
