Chesney, Underwood, Swift songs designed to induce sleep
Friday, April 4, 2008 – If hit songs by Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney put people to sleep, that's the idea. Only it's not the original artist recordings of "So Small," "Teardrops on My Guitar" and "Don't Blink" that are being released - it's the lullaby versions on "Hushabye Baby Lullaby Renditions of Country Music Favorites Volume 1."
The songs on the CD, out April 22, will be soft instrumentals. Barnyard scenes and cartoon characters highlight the CD jacket.
the track listing is:
1. Making Memories of Us (Keith Urban)
2. Don't Blink (Kenny Chesney)
3. My Wish (Rascal Flatts)
4. Teardrops on My Guitar (Taylor Swift)
5. Boondocks (Little Big Town)
6. You'll Always Be My Baby (Sara Evans)
7. Every Mile a Memory (Dierks Bentley)
8. Famous in a Small Town (Miranda Lambert)
9. So Small (Carrie Underwood)
10. Baby Girl (Sugarland)
Following the first four compilation volumes of Hushabye Baby lullabies being released April 22, individual CDs featuring baby-friendly instrumental versions of songs made famous by George Strait, Alan Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Vince Gill and other
country acts will also soon hit the market.
This is part of a continued series of songs for the babies out there - Radiohead and U2 received similar treatment.

After all, she's of diva-quality voice, petite, non-controversial unless you call singing songs that empower women controversial. Adkins, on the other hand, has not been afraid to speak his mind with a kick butt attitude.... »»»
Concert Review: Eilen Jewell wears her musical hats well –
Eilen Jewell wears a lot of musical hats. The Idaho native, who now lives in Boston, fronts the Eilen (ee-lin) Jewell Band, a pretty much traditional country band. She's a member the Sacred Shakers, an octet doing gospel country with a country beat. And she has yet another project, Butcher Holler, covering Loretta Lynn songs.... »»»
