David Lee Roth’s sister is in the music business, too. Lisa Roth developed ‘Rockabye Baby,‘ a music line that turns rock songs into lullabyesВ (more).В
The series includes collections made from the songs of artists like AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, The Beatles and many others.
Rockabye Baby’s goal is to make children’s music cool – not only for babies for their parents, too.
“First and foremost, we’re fans,” says Roth. “So we take care to make every album musically interesting enough to satisfy adult listeners. Believe me, making an album that’s gentle enough for sleeping babies but won’t bore Mom and Dad is trickier than it sounds.”
“When I knew I’d really hit something right was when I saw an interview of Kirk Hammett of Metallica talking about playing it for his child, and he said that it works.”
While brother David has remained interested in the series, Lisa has been a little gun-shy about working the family name…but that may change…soon.
“We’re going to be doing a Van Halen cd at the beginning of next year…2011,” says Lisa. “I put it off. I didn’t want the pressure.”
