Hits by Jack and Meg White, such as “Seven Nation Army” and “Icky Thump,” have been translated into soothing instrumental tunes by performer and producer Steven Charles Boone in Rockabye Baby’s latest CD, “Lullaby Renditions of the White Stripes.”
The sounds of the duo’s guitar and drums are born again as softer, gentler songs through xylophone, woodblocks, and bells. The CD’s enclosed booklet is a hilarious riff on a typical baby book, inviting a parent to write in their child’s rock star stage name, instrument of choice, rock star move, rock star demand, etc. This CD is a sweet baby shower gift, but we’re keeping ours. We’ve already decided that this album and our family car “are going to be friends.”
“Lullaby Renditions of The White Stripes,” $16.98, www.rockabyebabyemusic.com.
