39 Moonshadow.
40 *The first time I heard these songs was on the soundtrack for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I'm sure there are other versions of these songs by more talented artists, but these are the versions I have stored in iTunes.
41 A lot of Boards of Canada's music borders on the trippy/disturbing, especially from their first two albums, but some of the songs on The Campfire Headphase are very relaxing and peaceful. I recommend tracks 3, 4, and 15. Plus, it's just an awesome album which you should listen to anyway. Nick Drake's Pink Moon. Every song is a classic in my opinion, and it's a very peaceful album.

49 Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass, Ballads of the Green Berets by Sgt. Barry Sadler, and The Best of Jim Reeves.
50 The Curious George soundtrack (mostly by Jack Johnson) has some fairly mellow songs
51 Soothing Sounds for Baby.
52 American Lullaby which is a collection of folk songs (country and bluegrass) or folksie lullabies. Our favorites are Hobo's lullaby and Cowgirl's lullaby. Other than that we use a lot of Bach and other german or italian baroque in low volume, such as Goldberg variations (I mean there were meant to be lullabies, right?) etc. Also you maybe able to find a lot of different ethnic lullabies, particularly if your kid is in contact with other cultures.

54 "I See the Moon" everytime she puts our little one down. It's a great album -- I listen to the playtime songs in my car even when I don't have the kid. I also recommend "Cady's Lullaby," "Little Cowboy's Lullaby," and "Do Nothing At All" as winners.
