If you prefer you can see my video review on Youtube here.
Here at Lullaby Link our goal is to help you create a sonic environment that you and your children will thrive in. We are asked to review many CD’s but our promise to you is that you will only hear about the CD’s that we can enthusiastically endorse. Night Night by Michael and Sandy Bashaw gets a very big thumb’s up.
This album is fun as well as entrancing. There is an energy about it that is filled with wonder and comfort. I played this album the other day when I was not feeling well and it was like I was being covered with a warm blanket and held in light.
The Bashaws say, “We never musically condescend to children, but treat their minds and sensibilities with respect.” This comes clear in their hypnotic arrangements. These songs are arranged so that the familiar lullaby melodies magically appear like old friends.
The first song Bath Before Bed combines lively flutes and water sounds that are just delightful. It captures the joy that children find in water. Other songs include harmonica, ukulele, frame drum, guitar and keyboard. Vocals float in and out on layers of sound. I like that the CD begins on a lively note and then moves into a more mellow place by the end where it also ends in water with Ocean’s Promise an original composition by the Bashaw’s sure to float you off to sleep.
I cannot recommend this album highly enough. As part of a pre-bedtime routine, healing music when you need comfort or music for you to relax to after the children are in bed. This album is soulful magic.
The Bashaw’s were generous enough to give me a copy to give away to a lucky follower! Join our Facebook page and leave me a comment to let me know why you need some healing music. Our winner will be drawn at random.
