ROCKABYE BABY BRINGS THE ETERNAL SONGS OF THE KING TO THE NURSERY
Lullaby Renditions of Elvis Presley Takes His Music To New Generations with 8/8 Release
(Los Angeles) The music and spirit of Elvis Presley live on 33 years after his passing. Now the songs of the original rock 'n' roll superstar will gently rock the cradle when Rockabye Baby issues a collection of some of his best known and most cherished melodies as baby-friendly lullabies on August 8.
New parents who are "All Shook Up" when their little ones get fussy at bedtime now have a solution that works like a charm to soothe their cherub rockers. When baby's cries say "Love Me Tender," these 13 instrumental lullaby renditions do just that with a soft blanket of sounds such as glockenspiel, vibraphone, Mellotron, harps and bells. The Rockabye Baby bear mascot on the album cover beckons parents and their wee loved ones to "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear," with music the whole family can enjoy. "Suspicious Minds" may wonder if the lullabies can possibly work naptime magic on their little devils. "That's All Right (Mama)," baby is in good musical hands with Lullaby Renditions of Elvis Presley, as attested to by the media raves, praise from parenting organizations, celebrity endorsements, and appreciation from everyday moms and dads that the revolutionary line of children’s music has already earned. This collection of Presley tunes for "Little Sister" or little brother is as cool as a pair of "Blue Suede Shoes" and as lovable as a loyal "Hound Dog."
"A rock 'n' roll lullaby series wouldn't be legit without a tribute to Elvis," says Rockabye Baby vice president Lisa Roth. "He's one of the greatest rock icons of all time; he's the King! One of the most difficult parts of the production process was narrowing down the track list. His catalog of familiar and loved songs is endless. Elvis was an extraordinary artist and performer whose legacy is still relevant today. We worked on this production with the care and reverence befitting a king, and we think you 'Can't Help Falling in Love!'"
Over the last four years, Rockabye Baby has become the baby shower gift of choice for music lovers. The label’s recent compilation CD Baby's Favorite Rock Songs, sold exclusively through Starbucks, jumped onto the Billboard charts to become a Top 5 "Kids Albums" hit. The Rockabye Baby catalog already boasts lullaby CDs featuring the songs of The Beatles, Queen, Bob Marley, U2, Led Zeppelin, Coldplay, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, Green Day, The Ramones, Metallica, Radiohead, AC/DC, The Cure, and many more. Its most recent albums ranged from baby-friendly versions of Black Sabbath to Kanye West, and the series will continue to provide lullabies for all tastes with upcoming releases featuring the songs of Bon Jovi and Pearl Jam.
