Editorial Reviews

Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams, Winner of the Parents' Choice GOLD award, is a diverse collection of 18 songs designed to lull even the fussiest baby into a peaceful sleep. Aimed for children ages pre-birth to three years old, Lullaby Themes is composed of lilting, folk renditions of traditional and non-traditional lullabies, and features the silken, soprano voice of Susie Tallman accompanied by quiet acoustic guitar and piano. This 18-song collection picks up for the millennium where centuries of lullabies have left off. Parents seeking to bring bedtime songs of the past to their children's ears should look no more. This distinctive collection includes essential favorites like Rock-A-Bye Baby and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, unique versions of Tell Me Why; and Dona Nobis Pacem, the soft African sound of Kumbaya and the classical strains of Mozart's Lullaby. Tallman's gentle voice is wonderfully sleep inducing for children, and her lovely melodies provide for adults a musical haven from the harried world of parenting. Running time 47 minutes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review for Sleepy Dreams, February 20, 2003

I would suggest that everyone buy this CD! This is the most soothing and relaxing CD I have found. The music is just the right mix of vocals and instrumentals to help your children and yourself relax or sleep. Susie's voice is beautiful and the instrumentals are wonderful. When my baby was up at night with colic, it really helped relax him as well as myself. Buy this CD and the Lullabies for Sleepy Eyes and you can't go wrong. I am a musician and I am very picky about music. I would pay three times as much for these beautiful CD's!!!!(GREAT BABY SHOWER GIFT!!!!)

Our 16 month old son has been falling asleep to this CD since we brought him home from the hospital. The first time I heard Susie Tallman's angelic voice, I was brought to tears. The songs are beautiful versions of old classic lullabies and will soothe your baby to sleep in minutes. It was also great to calm our son down if he was fussy. I now buy this CD for friends with new babies because it is a favorite of ours and a must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful songs. beautiful voice, June 23, 1999

Susie Tallman has created a fresh, new rendition of familiar lullabies. Many of these are the traditional songs we all remember from our childhoods but she has recorded them in a style that makes them sound contemporary. I enjoyed her versions much more than typical recordings which sound like they use toy pianos or music boxes for the instrumentation. I also enjoyed her inclusion of less familiar songs like Dona Nobis Pacem and the Armenian Lullaby.
