In the vein of Rockabye Baby, the hipster rock lullaby series that has given our children renditions of songs originally by Nirvana, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Bjork, Bob Marley, The Cure, Green Day, Guns n Roses, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, the Pixies, the Ramones and more, SonaBLAST Records founded by Gill Holland is putting together “Louisville Lullabies: Cradle Rockin’ Sleeper Hits“, a similar series compiling the works of 13 Louisville musical acts.
Artists include: Carter Wood (a recently returned Louisville native who had George Strait record some of her songs while living in Nashville), Love Jones (regrouped for this benefit), Arnett Hollow (who recently performed at Forecastle and WFPK‘s Live Lunch), Lucky Pineapple (on the heels of their sonaBLAST! Release), Harry Pickens (pianist, composer, teacher and organizational consultant), Sandpaper Dolls (amazing a cappella trio), Ron Whitehead (author of 19 books with appearances on more than 20 CD’s), Yardsale (Louisville’s self-proclaimed ‘Second Most Rootin-est, Tootin-est Band‘), Danny Flanigan (performing a song he wrote for his son), Leigh Ann Yost (marketing director at Louisville‘s School of Rock), Justin Lewis (performing ’Dream a Little Dream’) Alistair Shell (Stephen George performing his first released recording) and Heidi Howe (Louisville performer, author and co-producer of the CD).
The album goes on sale on December 6thwhen Comedy Caravan hosts the release party. Sales of the album are going to benefit Home of The Innocents on East Market Street.
