If “rock-lullaby” sounds like an oxymoron, think again. Brash Music and Tree Top Records, companies that partnered to create and produce “Cradle Rock” (http://www.cradlerockstore.com), announced that Michael Jackson’s “Thriller,” greatest hits from Johnny Cash and chart topping singles from Kenny Chesney would be the first three albums in a lullaby series, now in stores. Soothing sounds from instruments such as the vibraphone, glockenspiel and mellotron are used to create lullabies based on
famous, iconic artists and albums in the country, rock and pop
genres. “The ‘Cradle Rock’ lullabies are unlike any other available today, and feature artists and albums that appeal to music fans across a wide variety of genres. Each project is produced with child and parent in mind, so
the melodic structure and tempo of each song stays true to the original.
Additional Cradle Rock albums in development include U2’s “The Joshua Sleep
Tree,” Black Eyed Peas’ “Sleep-pea Hits” as well as lullaby albums inspired by
Nickelback, Carrie Underwood and The Eagles to name a few.Dating back to ancient cultures, science demonstrates the importance of lullabies in the development of children. “Babies are actually born with a basic sense of timing, rhythm and tone which is why soothing lullabies help
speed up the process of falling asleep” say the producers of the series. The
albums are for true and dedicated music fans who want to share popular music
with their children. “Cradle Rock” albums, will be available at www.cradlerockstore.com, through all
digital distribution services like iTunes for $9.99, and at music retail outlets
across the United States for $11.98. For more information about Cradle Rock,
