Red Wellies # 5: 🎸Move Over Brahms There’s a New Lullaby in Town 🎸
As any parent will tell you babies love lullabies, something that may sound “tinkley and plinky” and annoying to them, will soothe a fussy baby and, as was intended, “lull” them to sleep.
But did you know that you don’t have to stick with the traditional lullabies and that there’s an awesome company called “Rockabye Baby” who take rock and pop music that parents love and turn them into cool instrumental lullabies?
Rockabye Baby is based in LA and part of the CMH Label Group, who was founded in 1975 by German native Martin Haerle and renowned guitarist Arthur “Guitar Boogie” Smith. Originally a bluegrass label, before moving into other genres, the Rockabye series was launched in 2006.
As a parent to a 12-week-old, I was thrilled to discover their music and even more thrilled to learn that many of their albums are available for free in Amazon Music for their Prime Customers, because what parent doesn’t belong to Amazon prime, but that’s a post for another day.
With more than 76 releases available; classics like the Beatles, Prince, Michael Jackson and Queen; hard hitters like Metallica and modern-day music of Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars and Justin Timberlake to name but a few, there is a wide range of solutions for your baby’s listening pleasure 🎧
Thankfully and surprisingly they’re enjoyable for an adult too and it’s quite entertaining to try and figure out early on which track it is and even more amusing for baby when you start belting out the lyrics 😂
If all this wasn’t cool enough they also offer organic baby bodysuits at RockabyeBaby.com featuring their lullaby renditions album art. I for one need to get the Metallica onesie for Freyja as Daddy played “Enter the Sandman” to her all the time when I was pregnant [don’t ask] and now she has the lullaby version to listen to.
Available on CD, live streaming or download and even vinyl!! Rockabye Baby albums are a must-have for new parents everywhere.
Happy listening Steemians!

I NEED this.
Shhhhhyeah... for my bbbbbaby and stuff, of course, yeah.
My inner baby, i mean. :)
Seriously you do need it... it's pretty cool to say the least, they do an amazing job of capturing the track and turning it into a lullaby 🎸
I know a few people who would really like something like this! Lol - thanks for sharing. Sadly, we aren't on amazon prime, but we are on netflix. My question is, what parent doesn't have netflix? ;)
Ha! Quite, who doesn't have Netflix these days! See below post from @thediscocat that they're also on Spotify. Check them out if you can, they're a lot of fun!
Good to know! Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for the reminder these exist!
For those that don't have Amazon Prime, these are also available on Spotify!
You are so welcome! I wish that I'd known about them for the other kids lol and thanks for letting us know that they're on Spotify 👍🏻
Of course! We put on the Fleetwood Mac album for the most recent round of naptime and it gets my son's passed out stamp of approval
Nice! We'll have to try that one with Freyja 😊
This is so so adorable, I love it. Especially the part about Metallica and daddy singing. The dont ask part is super cute. Thank you for sharing. Your fellow STEEMengineer, Casandra. xx
Ha! Thank you 😊 Poor kid will no doubt be looking under her bed when she's older lol 🤡
LOL!!
Thanks for the information! I'll have to check it out on my Amazon music
Let me know what you think of them 👍🏻
Love it! I think my favorite is Rocket Man, but there's still time
That's brilliant! So many to choose from 😊
