Abigail Lapell - Lullabies

Abigail Lapell’s Lullabies is a haunting collection of traditional songs from around the world, performed on classical guitar and vocals. Recorded by Michael Timmins (of Cowboy Junkies), the project includes songs in English, French, Hebrew, Spanish, Yiddish, German, Japanese and Welsh. Alternately sweet and foreboding, this body of work illuminates some of the darker themes beneath the surface of many beloved folk tunes. At the same time, with familiar and comforting imagery – the night sky, a parent’s warm embrace – these songs offer safe passage between waking and dreaming, across the border between the earthly and the numinous.
