Canyon Lullaby is a Grammy nominated album released by Paul Winter in 1997. The album is the first Paul Winter album made up entirely of solo saxophone improvisations. It was also the first surround sound album to be recorded in the wilderness.

In 1985, Paul Winter recorded Canyon in a naturally reverberant side canyon of the Grand Canyon which he nicknamed "Bach's Canyon". The album featured the Paul Winter Consort. In 1996, he returned to the canyon to create an album of solo saxophone improvisations. The album was a musical representation of a period of 24 hours in the canyon. To help create this feeling, Winter played at all different times during the day and night.
