Editorial Reviews

Lullabies for Sleepy Eyes is a diverse 16-song collection offering folk-renditions of lullabies from Welsh, Scottish, Irish, Yiddish, French and Australian traditions, among others. Although the lullabies are aimed for children ages one to five, the familiar, soft melodies work wonderfully for infants as well. With this album, Vocalist Susie Tallman provides a distinct sound much different from other children’s albums; Lullabies for Sleepy Eyes is not tinny and sparkly but warm, clear, and textured gentle music that will link parent and child in the extraordinary way that only a lullaby can.

5.0 out of 5 stars Something different for your lullaby collection..., August 28, 2005

This is a GREAT Cd to add to your lullaby collection - the arrangements & songs are not what you find on your typical lullaby cds, and that is refreshing especially when you have an extensive lullaby collection such as I do! My husband is Irish, and there are several Irish songs on the CD that we love. My baby calms right down when I rock her to this cd - I got it as a gift and think it would be a great gift for other mothers/babies. Susie did an excellent job - highly recommend!! Another one you'd probably like is Susie's "Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams."

I recently came across this CD in a boutique baby shop and immediately decided to buy it because I'm always looking for more lullaby albums. I'm so glad I happened to find this! I've always loved "Suo Gan", so I was absolutely enchanted to hear Susie Tallman's version. I always want to hang out in my daughter's room after she's asleep just to listen to this. The song versions are slightly different from the original arrangements, but are absolutely soothing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mother Yourself and Your Baby, January 29, 2001

I first heard this CD when my daughter was two months old. One day my normally happy baby was inconsolable; you know the scene -- cranky baby, frazzled mother, the loop of tension that feeds on itself. I put the CD on and let the sounds wash over us.

My baby quieted down almost immediately and snuggled into me as I rocked her. She listened to the first few songs attentively. The music mellowed her and she slowly, sweetly drifted off. I took a nap with a little angel in my arms. It was a wonderful bonding experience.

Susie's lovely voice lulls babies to dreamland very peacefully --and calms moms also.

Together we listen to Sleepy Eyes' sweet songs -- these aren't your typical overplayed lullabies -- and now my baby recognizes the tunes, which have become part of our beddy-bye routine.

We received this CD as a gift and I highly recommend it. Buy it for yourself. Buy it for new parents. Buy it for the little one you love.
