I got this CD as a gift when I was pregnant and thought it was pretty goofy. In fact, I don't particularly care for the zylophone music on the CD, it gets a bit annoying without the lyrics. But now that it has hushed my little one up on all of 10 occassions without fail, I'm a big fan of it! If she's crying in the car, I just pop in the Rockabye Baby CD and she automatically hushes up! No other sound has this profound an effect on her. It's almost eerie how automatic her hushing is upon hearing the music. I highly recommend this CD for anyone with a new infant.

We started playing music in our infant's nursery after our first visit to his daycare, where we noticed them playing music in the crib room to provide white noise for the sleeping babies. The idea of a lullaby-ized version of music we already enjoy listening to appealed to us, so we started out with a couple of the titles in the Rockabye baby series. We've enjoyed them so much that we're now up to ~15 of these, if for no other reason than to provide US with some variety as we rock our child before putting him down for the night. By removing the words and playing the songs at a more or less constant volume, they provide a soothing bedtime experience without the sudden changes in volume and tempo that might otherwise startle or excite a child that you're trying to get (and then keep) asleep.

This is probably my second favorite album to listen to when putting our son to bed, and I often find myself having trouble not singing along to the tunes while I'm rocking him to sleep. I would highly recommend it to any parent who enjoys the Beach Boys or is looking for a great CD of bedtime tunes for their child.

For parents looking for other top CDs we have tried in this series, I would highly recommend the Coldplay (our favorite of the 15 we have), More Beatles (much better than the first one), Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Guns N' Roses, and Queen albums.

I have the Coldplay, Radiohead,and Beach Boys Rockabye CD's and the Beach Boys is my favorite one. It sounds the most like the Beach Boys songs, and my son will have a good idea of how the songs go.

We also have the RockABye Baby-The Cure! Highly recommend. I've givien it as a gift to excited expecting Mommys. It's Unique and my son falls asleep with it every night. I ment to give it 5 Stars but when I went back to edit, after saving, I couldn't change it.
