Could live without her, but wouldn't want to.

Sell the ranch if you must, but get this cd, and all of the others by Connie Kaldor. "Small Cafe" is available in the U.S.. From Canada, you can get "Gentle of Heart", "Out of the Blue", "Wood River", "Moonlight Grocery", "Love is a Truck". She is in a league of her own.

thank god it's on CD because we've worn out two cassettes

This is my son's (now 6 years old) all-time favorite lullaby music and mine too. He will be so happy I've found it again. (It is no longer available where I purchased the first two tapes.) Beautiful meaningful songs to hum or sing along with, even if your voice is poor, your baby won't mind. I bought the first copy sound unheard when he was an infant and was pleasantly surprised. He was not pleased when the first tape broke, nor the second for that matter, and has repeatedly asked me to buy another. French and English combinations make repeated listening less tiresome to the adult.

A lullaby collection that YOU will love too..

Soothing at any time when you or baby needs to relax. The songs are varied and complex enough to satisfy music lovers, whether they be folkies or classical music lovers. The only thing I didn't like is the sound "wah-wah" of a baby at the beginning of the first song! Who needs it ?! But the rest is pure enjoyment. Baby goes to sleep by the second or third song and I often listen to many more of the songs before tiptoeing out of the room...It is my favorite, with Linda Ronstadt's lullaby CD coming in second place.

A wonderful CD of lullabies!

I ordered this CD without listening to it first - I liked the title, and I wanted the French lullabies. There's one single song that I would rate as just "OK, the others are all excellent! This is the best set of lullabies in my library as of yet. Connie Kaldor has a deep, rich voice, Carmen Campagne has a stringier voice reminiscent of Occitain folk singers (which I suppose she is), and very suitable to her arrangements. Most important of all, my son likes them, and his struggle against sleep is shorter when I play them. As the liner notes say, lullabies work!
