Laurie Berkner Lullabies

Best-selling, award-winning children’s recording artist and preschool television favorite Laurie Berkner will release her first-ever lullaby album, Laurie Berkner Lullabies .  The album features traditional lullabies (“Hush Little Baby,” “Little Boy Blue”) as well as brand new songs to lull little ones to sleep (“Fireflies,” “All the Planets”).  The album also includes re-worked versions of some of Laurie’s classic originals (“Under A Shady Tree,” “Five Days Old”) – and, of course, the beloved Laurie Berkner bedtime favorites “Moon Moon Moon” and “Goodnight.”

Laurie is joined on Laurie Berkner Lullabies by band mates Susie Lampert (keyboards), Brady Rymer (bass) and Bob Golden (drums, percussion).  The album is enhanced by the voices of children including Laurie’s own daughter, Lucy!

Says Laurie, “I have been getting requests for this album for many years.  I’ve now been a parent since 2004, and I’ve had a chance to feel that amazing experience of singing my own child to sleep.  I’ve written lullabies for her and I’ve sung my favorites from my own childhood to her over the years. To me, making that time feel safe and full of love is so important.  I hope some of these songs create some of those feelings and become as special to other families as they have been for mine.”

A former preschool music teacher by day and indie rocker by night, Laurie Berkner started selling her music over fifteen years ago out of her living room on her own label, Two Tomatoes Records. Laurie currently stars in Sing It, Laurie!, an animated short-form series on the Sprout preschool TV channel, and makes frequent appearances on the network’s “Sunny Side Up Show” and in music videos.

My thoughts:

I was first introduced to Laurie Berkner's music when my daughter was a year old (nine years ago). One of her favorites wash "Under a Shady Tree". And I was so excited to see it on this CD.   I can never tire of listening to Laurie's music.  She has a beautiful yet calming voice.

I have an in  home daycare, and the kids just love this CD.  I have it on while they are playing, and I keep it playing during nap time.  Some of the songs on this CD are great remakes.  I was so happy to see that are so many songs on this CD.  One of the kids favorites is "All The Planets". But they love them all.  

Whether young or old, I think everyone would enjoy listening to this CD.
