Lullaby: a Beautiful and Soothing Collection of Night Time Songs for Children and Grown Ups

This is a wonderful CD for babies - and parents ! Doctors should prescribe this to soothe babies to sleep.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! What a great collection for children and amazingly grown ups will love listening too. Beautiful arrangements and the chill out style make it unlike any other nursery rhyme CD I've heard before and a lot easier on the ear for us adults who have to listen along. You might even find yourself listening when the kids are already asleep! I will probably be buying this for anyone I know who has a baby now! Very highly recommended.

No-one should expect that someone's solo projects sound exactly like their other projects, if that were the case then what would be the point of going solo, it would be rather boring. But I am disappointed because I can see that there are some really original, heartfelt ideas that she has, but somehow they just sound a bit all over the place and I can't help but feel uncertain the whole time - uncertain where she's trying ...
