    New dad Nick Lachey to release a lullaby album

    NEW YORK (AP) — First-time dad Nick Lachey knows all about rocking a baby to sleep. Now he wants to help other kids get their rest.

    His new album, "A Father's Lullaby," will be released in a few weeks. It features 12 songs, including classics like "You Are My Sunshine" and "Brahms Lullaby." The album also features four original tracks that Lachey co-wrote, inspired by his own baby.

    The 39-year-old singer and his wife, TV personality Vanessa Lachey, welcomed their son, Camden, last September.

    "A Father's Lullaby" will be available on iTunes and Amazon on March 13. It will be in stores in April.

    Lachey will release a new album, "2.0," in May with his group, 98 Degrees.
