Here Comes Brady Rymer

"On a road trip last week we spent about 30 hours in the car. We had books, portable DVD player, the everchanging scenery out the window, and, of course, an iPod loaded with new kids music.



One of the big musical hits of the trip was the new CD from Brady Rymer, called Here Comes Brady Rymer and The Little Band That Could. Rymer has a fresh, feel-good sound that is perfect for drumming along on the steering wheel or the back of the seat. His songs are a joyous mix of pop, country, folk, and straight-ahead rock. If your kids enjoy Ralph's World, they'll love Brady Rymer.



This is another one of those CDs that you could fool your adult friends with by not telling them it's supposed to be for children. The magic of Brady Rymer is that he makes music that appeals to all ages. His songs could rest very comfortably on a playlist with Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, and Jack Johnson.



Catchy choruses abound on tracks like "It Was A Saturday Night," "Your Smile," and our favorite, "Road Trip." Rymer also turns in classy covers of Woody Guthrie's "Bling Blang" and Pete Seeger's "Well May The World Go.""

The Uncle's Secret Angle

"I'll let you in on a secret to being a good uncle, giving Brady's CDs as gifts. You've got to have a lot of respect for parents when they are your best friends, so when it comes to gift-giving isn't it reasonable to give things that the kids like and the parents do, too? Giving Rymer's CDs has always worked out really well for me, the uncle to many. The music is catchy, the idea (and sound) of a rock band for young kids is cool, and it's played on the XM Kid's Stuff channel, too, giving you some idea of its popularity already. I love "Pie", "Jump Up", and "Bling Blang"."
