"A perfect baby shower gift; a perfect Christmas gift; a great gift for any age group. Falkner's transformation of classical Beatles songs into "A Lullaby Album" is fantastic, enjoyable, delightful, soothing, nostalgic, pleasurable. The lullaby quality of the music is particularly reassuring. After the baby's asleep baby boomers might also want to put on the headphones. As Jason says in the liner notes: "it also sounds good at maximum volume." Whether you find the cd in the Jason Falkner, Beatles, or Children's section, this is a cd worth looking for."
Got two as gifts--keeping both

"I am not a huge Beatles fan. I like them, and have a lot of good memories, but that's not why I love this album. First, I believe it's important to play music to a baby (I'm a couple weeks away from having my first, so I'm no expert--it just makes sense to me). This music is so soothing and entertaining at the same time that I can't believe it. I find the songs running through my head during the day. Obviously I haven't played it for my daughter yet, but my wife and I have gone to sleep to it as we try to bank some rest before the baby comes. You can easily get the feel of this album by listening to the samples, which are representative. Also, this is a cool and different gift. If you know a Beatles fan having a baby, its a must."
Beautiful

"many beatles albums made for the younger set often stink.., but THIS is the good stuff.
the songs are beautifully done, and don't have the nasty remake feel many beatles remake albums do.
perfect for anyone, not just babies"
Best Bedtime CD

"My daughter received this CD as a gift shortly after she arrived in the USA from China. It was given to her by her Aunt because she knows I've been a big Beatles fan all my life. My daughter was 13 months when she arrived and this music was very soothing to her at bed time. She is now three and once a week picks out her own bedtime music for the week. It seems every other week we are going back to this CD. She loves it - I love it, too. This CD is VERY well done."
Excellent for both parent and child

"My husband and are are musicians and huge Beatles fans and we LOVE this CD. The arrangements are breathtakingly beautiful and not "elevatoresque" at all."
