Sleeping With the Fishes

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Taking for their album title a tough, old Mafia expression, this Minneapolis-based ensemble delivers 16 songs with soothing harmonies, gentle instrumentation, and a winning lyrical style. There's no thuggery here, just lots of persuasive singing and playing you won't be able to refuse. Just one listen to the opening lines of "Right Here and Right Now" will tug at the heartstrings as Mary Jane Alm sings softly, "Oh my sweet little boy / Don't grow up so fast / Just give me a little time to make the moment last." If that doesn't hook you, try the imaginative title track, "Sleeping with the Fishes," Michael Johnson's knowing song about little-people insomnia, "I Can't Sleep," or the three traditional tunes, including "Brahms' Lullaby" and "Hush Little Baby." In all, this overlooked 1997 disc is guaranteed to put all babies to sleep (although putting your kid in one of those automatic swings will also help). --Martin Keller

My Most Popular Baby Shower Gift.......2006-07-05

Ever since I discovered this CD, it remains the #1 item I give to my friends and associates at their baby showers, and I never fail to receive gushing notes of thanks once baby arrives and the new parents fall in love with this music. It's not too sing-songy and dopey -- it's music adults will love listening to while trying to put baby down. My daughter is 13 now, and still remembers loving this CD, which we played at bedtime until she was 6 or so. Some of the songs will make you tear up, so be prepared. It's lush, wonderful music that I never tire of hearing, even after all this time.

Soothing and Enjoyable.......2006-01-01

We have tried many, many lullaby CDs for my daughter over the years and this is by far one of the best we have found. My daughter, now 6, just loves it. Not only is it varied and interesting for her, it is long enough to allow her to listen to several songs before falling asleep. We have tried other CDs that we had to restart because they weren't long enough. Also, this is interesting and enjoyable for the adults to listen to through the monitor!

Sleeping with the Fishes.......2003-05-19

I have three children, ranging in age from 5 to 13 months, and all three of them fall asleep to soothing and peaceful music. The orchestral composition combined with the beautiful, soothing lyrics are truly beautiful...one truly feels as if he or she is swimming with the fishes!! I have worn out several copies of this favorite lullaby CD and am purchasing it again not only for myself but also for several of my expectant frinds. It's a real treat...and I found thankfully found it on Amazon!

Wonderful music!.......2003-04-16

This CD is a treasure, both for parents and babies/children. Of all the baby gifts I received when my daughter was born, this one is in the top 10. The songs are sweet and soothing without being saccharine or cloying. The title track is adorable, as is "Right Here, Right Now. I cannot recommend this cd too highly!!!

My little girl loves this cd as do I

Your baby WILL be sleeping with or without fishes!.......2002-10-10

I picked this up in a bargain bin at a music store and it's the best! The songs are sweet and sentimental (for we moms) and sure do the trick to get my boy Carlo to sleep. As a matter of fact, it works so well that I've never heard the end of it!

Enjoyed by all ages!.......2002-07-18

The first time I heard the first song (Right Here, Right Now) was when I was giving the night time bottle to my grandson and rocking him to sleep in his bedroom. I was amazed at the words of the song. It made me reminised of the years when my three adult children were growing up. I asked my husband to listen to it and he said, "Nah, I can't understand the words. The only singer I can understand is Frank Sinatra!!". BUT, when I finally got him to listen to it, a few days afterwards, he was playing the song over and over, writing down the words to the song "Right Here, Right Now". By the way, we have two cute grandchildren! I bought two CDs of Sleeping with the Fishes, one for a baby gift and one for us, the grandparents!

After having 3 kids, I was due some pampering. This CD made all those midnight nursings the best part of taking care of our infant.
