The Hero and I are both big music fans. Some of our musical tastes are the same, some are different, but no getting around it, music is a big part of our lives! When we found out we were expecting DB we started looking into all kinds of baby products, and music was one of them! We were hoping to find something that was simple, repetitive, and engaging enough to keep DB entertained and stimulated, but not so repetitive and simple that The Hero and I wanted to stab our ears with sharp objects when those songs are repeated over and over. We were thrilled to find out about Rockabye Baby! music, it was the perfect solution.
They do lullaby covers of popular songs from artists spanning from Kanye West to Nine Inch Nails, AC/DC to Weezer. The songs really do grab DB's attention and keep him entertained, so much so that turning a song on will snap him out of a fussing fit and the minute the song ends he cries until the next one starts. They've been a lifesaver in the car, when DB is crying in the back seat and instead of craning my arm backwards to try and soothe him, I can just flip to one of the albums we have for him and he's soothed while I can keep both hands safely in the front of the vehicle!
Now this isn't the only music DB likes, he's a bit of a Bob Marley fan, and he likes a little Plain White Tee's, Jack Johnson, The Beatles, IZ, and of course, The Hero's guitar playing, but I can now also say that he loves Tool, NIN, Nirvana, and Radiohead, broken down into simpler melodies and missing all those fantastic lyrics. This helps me insure DB will get his musical tastes off on the right foot, makes the music enjoyable and appropriate for him and it stays interesting and sane for me. I think this is a win win situation!
Check out Rockabye Baby! on their website where you can browse all their cover albums and listen to samples of all the songs they offer, or plug them into Pandora and have a listen while finding other artists your little one may enjoy! Happy listening!
