Rockabye Baby’s newest arrival translates Def Leppard’s classic fist-pumping anthems and power ballads into thumb-sucking comfort tunes for your little rocker. The lullab-ized tracks span the hit-churning peak of Def Leppard’s three-and-a-half decades including the classic ballad “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak” and iconic anthems “Photograph” and “Pour Some Sugar On Me.” Lullaby Renditions of Def Leppard comes as the band prepares a two-month summer tour supporting their live album, Mirrorball.

“I am very flattered to have our songs covered in such a unique way,” wrote lead singer Joe Elliott for a special liner note for the album. “To think that our music will inspire children like my own is a good feeling! With this album, we can truly Rock People of All Ages!”
