Background

Produced by Jewel and recorded at the singer's home studio in Stephenville, Texas, Lullaby contains ten self-penned songs as well as covers of popular nursery rhymes and lullabies.[2] Jewel stated:

"This isn't just a 'kids' album, it's really a mood album—perfect to relax to at the end of a long day. It will soothe and lull children, but was also written and sung for adults to enjoy and unwind with."[2]

gollark: That might work, actually. Tux1 does not appear to change views much.
gollark: Tux1 would need containment to provide one side of a humor differential, yes.
