Album Notes

WINNER PARENTS' CHOICE GOLD AWARD: Part of the appeal of this gently hypnotic album lies in Tallman's soprano: honey smooth with just a hint of vibrato. The rest is due to the selection of material which includes both vocal and instrumental cuts. It would be difficult to name a single well-loved lullaby that has been omitted from this stellar collection. Simple guitar and piano arrangements (occasionally augmented by other acoustic instruments) set off each melody like gold cradling a diamond.

PARENTING MAGAZINE: "This delicate, lilting collection includes lullabies from Mozart and Brahms. Tallman's soprano voice achieves a beautiful bell effect on "Lovely Evening" and blossoms in "All the Pretty Little Horses."

"Lullaby Themes for Sleepy Dreams carves out a new path in the market of music for small children," says Tallman. "The album provides parents with a contemporary way to introduce the beauty and tradition of lullaby.
