Rush are the subject of the latest Rockabye Baby album of lullaby cover versions, to be released on January 29.
The 12-track record – masterminded by Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth’s sister Lisa – includes calmed-down versions of The Spirit Of Radio, Tom Sawyer, Red Barchetta, Closer To The Heart and more.
The Hall of Famers’ trademark sound has been reinterpreted with Mellotron, vibraphone and bells, and producers say they’ve turned the volume down from eleven to two.
They ask: “Do you have a modern day warrior putting up a fight at bedtime? Looking for a reliable way to put baby to sleep and not some fly by night sandman? Try Rockabye Baby’s tender lullaby versions of Rush’s hard rock hits. This magic music will bring your baby closer to the heart of slumberland.”
Roth admits the album is more for adults than babies, but hopes both will get something out of the soothing music.
