We’ve all heard of classical music as lullabyes and even some rock music retooled as sleepytime fare but country hits as instrumental lullabyes? Heck yeah! If you’re a country music mama (or dada) and even if you’re not, we’re bettin’ the farm you and you’re little one will appreciate the dreamy lullabyes  found on the Hushabye Baby collection of CD’s. Each one is packed with totally relaxing versions of songs from country’s biggest stars. Now, I can assure you I’ve never once considered putting my ‘lil guy to bed with Johnny Cash’s  Ring of Fire or Folsom Prison Blues but the Hushabye versions are downright hummable and soothing! Best of all, there are six artists to choose from and every CD is housed in 100% recycled packaging. Move over, Mozart—there’s a new sheriff in town named Hushabye Baby!

So goes my favorite jazz tune, Rock-a-bye Rainforest, from the newly released CD, Music for a Green Planet. Produced by Hayes Greenfield, composer, vocalist, saxophonist, and acclaimed New York City jazz artist, Music for a Green Planet takes traditional children’s tunes, jazzes them up, and incorporates green messages into the lyrics. Perfect for green-minded parents and their children, this CD is sure to inspire little ones to love the Earth, while parents will appreciate the (non-annoying!) adaptation of well-known children’s melodies.
