Twila Paris is very clear about the intent of this release, writing in the CD's liner notes that "this is a lullaby album." You'll find an abundance of sleepy-time melodies and gentle, peaceful harmonies throughout this release. As much as the material is geared toward young minds and hearts, there's also a strong affinity toward mothers as well. Paris weaves her lyrical content around the late-night meditations of many new moms, not to mention the little ones they hold. "My Delight" and "Your Whole Life Long" are especially moving and beautiful ballads. This would be an ideal present for a friend or loved one who's expecting. --Michael Lyttle
