On My Way To Dreamland

This wonderful collection of lullabies has been our son's favorite bedtime CD for the past few months. I am a big fan of Reid-Naiman's recordings--always exceptionally produced by Ken Whiteley, Raffi's first producer. Her voice is warm and inviting and Whiteley's arrangements and acoustic instrument choices (guitar, steel drums, harp, djembe, cello and mandolin, just to name a few) is perfectly suited to each song. There are 19 lullabies in this collection. Some are well known, such as "Lavender's Blue," "Catch a Falling Star" and "Turn Around" but many, though unfamiliar at first, will quickly become favorites. This is part of Reid-Naiman's strength--she is a collector of folk songs and always surprises me with the gems she chooses to share. A very sweet and tender recording.
