Jewel Lullaby
Celeb parent status: Jewel, Mom to son, Kase

Parents are raving about the amazing songs on this CD.
Find it: Available in CD version (Amazon.com, $13) with individual song downloads available for the tracks that you can’t resist having on your own iPod too.

My Precious Little One
Celeb parent status:Rick Springfield, Dad to a son, who is now in his late 20s
You’ll love it for: You heard us. A lullaby album from none other than “Jessie’s Girl” rocker of the ’80s, Rick Springfield. Rick has toned things down a bit for the younger crowd in this lullaby CD, which was actually released not that long ago, in 2009. While it’s likely that you were just a babe yourself when Rick was a superstar, this celeb lullaby album is a must.
Find it: Available to stream or buy on allmusic.com, which also utilizes iTunes.
