Martha Stewart Baby: Sleepytime

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Equating Martha Stewart with hip is enough to give any parent pause. Are "good things" on the order of ribbon-festooned lampshades what cool has come to? Yes and no. Sleepytime may not crash through the cool barrier entirely--its liner notes leap right over the music, choosing, instead to instruct how to frame hand-knit booties--but it comes admirably close. Sending preciousness scampering to the opposite side of the street on this 14-track disc are the artists: Keb' Mo', Lucinda Williams, Billy Bragg, and Alison Krauss represent, in more hushed tones than usual, what makes modern music worth listening to. The Barenaked Ladies loosen the tongues from their cheeks for "Close to You," Linda Ronstadt works out the bedtime kinks on a cover of Lennon and McCartney's "Goodnight," and Bobby McFerrin lulls listeners along unintelligibly on "Common Threads." Songs by Tuck and Patti, Jenny Bruce, and Nickel Creek swoop in softly, grab us by the mushy parental core, and encircle us with an intoxicating calm. With Sleepytime Martha Stewart proves, in a typically tasteful package streaked with uncharacteristic cool, that she hasn't lost the scent of success. --Tammy La Gorce

The Best.......2007-02-13

This is the best lullaby album you could ever buy! Every mom and dad I give this to says they can't get enough of it. I have listened to this cd with both of my kids (4 & 1) and I still love it everytime I hear it.
It is a must have for any new baby!

Love this album!.......2006-11-10

I absolutely love this album. It is such a sweet group of lullabies. It is the only cd that my daughter sleeps with... and when I try to switch it she has a lot of trouble getting calm. This is actually the second copy of this album I've bought. Now we keep one in the car too!

This is a special CD..........2006-08-02

Baby Mine alone makes this CD worth it!!! It really is a unique and special collection of music. I've used songs in movies, they are great for road trips, or just to listen around the house. You won't regret the $10 it costs to have songs that will bring back so many wonderful memories!

Great CD for Day Care .......2006-05-24

I work in a day care--infant room actually (the Peek-a-Boos!) and this is a great CD. Our babies fall asleep to it & we all (the teachers) enjoy listening to it as it loops twice or three times during nape time (12pm-2pm).

Best Baby C.D. EVER. No kidding!.......2006-05-23

I have bought this c.d. THREE TIMES because I either wear it down, or lose it. I have to re-buy it because it is just LOVELY. Every song is a treat. As a parent I adore even more than my son. This is my favorite baby c.d. of all time...and it is one of my personal favorites! You will not regret buying this c.d. It is really wonderful.
