Editorial Reviews

Mark F. Kohn, Parents Magazine, September 1992

"wondrous recording of eventide folk songs, old and new...if her voice doesn't relax a child, nothing will." --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Product Description

Winner of the "Parents' Choice Gold Seal Award and an American Library Association Notable Children's Recording, Stardreamer is a perfect gift for expectant and new parents. From the opening song "Waltzing with Bears" to the creaking rocking chair that closes the album, Stardreamer is a beautiful song cycle that will calm a child and delight parents. Priscilla Herdman's gorgeous vocals along with the impeccable acoustic instrumental arrangements have made Stardreamer a perennial favorite since its original release in 1988. This newly remastered classic is now available on the singer's own independent label. This is a gentle going-to-bed recording that holds up after countless listenings. Over 100,000 families with peacefully sleeping children can't be wrong. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best gift you could give your family or new parents!, April 6, 2002
By 
Jacqueline A. Noel (Hardwick, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Star Dreamer: Nightsongs & Lullabies (Audio CD)
This was given to me by my sister upon the birth of my first child, and I never dreamed how signifant a gift it would become. It has lived through eleven years and three of my children, and is and always will be everyone's favorite. The sound of Ms. Herdman's voice immediately brings soothing and comfort to our household at night, no matter how hectic the day has been. Sometimes when I hear her songs, I don't know whether to smile or cry, as they bring up such wonderful memories of rocking my children to sleep.

It has become my staple gift to new parents, and I offer confidently, knowing that they, too, will soon be in love with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lullabies that are not just for children, November 18, 2000
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Star Dreamer: Nightsongs & Lullabies (Audio CD)
This is the CD that made me a dyed-in-the-wool Priscilla Herdman fan. Her voice is amazing -- clear, soothing and simply beautiful. And so are these songs. This CD is a complete, flowing musical experience--Priscilla calls herself a "song finder," and this is a testament to her extraordinary abilities not only as a vocalist but also as a selector of just the right tunes in just the right order. I don't have children or grandchildren: This album is just for me!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Magic CD, February 11, 2005
A friend sent this as a baby gift and it's one of the best items we received. When nothing else calms our now-18-month-old, this CD does the trick.

The songs are uncomplicated and lovely, quiet yet full. Unlike other children's CDs we've heard, Herdman's voice and music are not cloying or sacchrine. While I wouldn't list "folk" among my favorite types of music, I find this CD charming and quite classic.

I'm wary about buying "kid music" b/c it seems so manufactured and false. If you feel the same way, please sample some of these songs and hear that this CD is really an extraordinary choice for you and your child.
