Dream With Me Tonight, Vol. 2: A Father's Lullabies
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
If you, like a lot of music shoppers, have been operating under the assumption that once you've bought one lullaby collection you've bought them all, now is the time to shed your preconceived notions. Dream With Me Tonight Vol. 2: A Father's Lullabies covers all the lullaby basics--in other words, it will reliably cart your kids off to the sandman--but it goes a step further. Lanny Sherwin, a dad with an earnest streak to rival Fred Rogers', not only wrote uniformly cuddly lyrics and music for this volume, he also crafted a message that reaches adult listeners, impressively, with a lower-case "m." The idea, an under-explored one in the genre, is that dads can be tender too; thus Sherwin, via the Richard Marx-like voice of Gene Miller, manages to pull off a song called "My Monkey is Missing" without making a gag out of the trauma of a lost toy or planting his tongue in his cheek. May he strike a chord with fellow bedside-sitting fathers everywhere. --Tammy La Gorce

No family should go without this. Inspirational and healing, it's sure to bring fathers and their families closer together.

A Father's Dream.......2006-10-07
Thank you for making these words and melodies for the male voice. All the lullaby music we could find was either instrumental or female vocals. While I appreciate (and buy) both of those types (see Vol. 1 of Dream with Me Tonight!), I was really moved to see this offering. We listen to it as much as we do Vol. 1 and I find a great satisfaction in knowing that, at some level, my kids are hearing a male voice send messages of musical loving. The vocals are beautiful and a great job was done on production.
Sweetest melody even for me.......2004-09-01
Borrowed one from library, love it, so does my son!
Dream With Me Tonight Volume 2.......2003-10-07
A Fathers Lullabies is a fun addition to Volume 1. Gene Millers vocals bring the Father image to the bed time songs.
Doesn't Get Any Better Than This!.......2003-10-07
My son & I listen to this fabulous CD every night. I alternate between smiles and tears, he goes straight to Zzzzzzzs. This is a CD of love and creativity with music that parents as well as kids can listen to over and over. "My Monkey Is Missing" is one of our favorites.
My advice: buy 2 copies ... one for your child and one for yourself!
