notes

"As my kids grew," says Brady, a former jam-rocker with the RCA band From Good Homes, "the thrill of first steps and words, new teeth and blossoming imaginations became fascinating subject matter; there I was, singing to them every day about the events of their lives." These spirited songs came together as Look At My Belly, a multi-award-winning collection celebrating the wonder of childhood. From the title cut to "Words That I Know" and "Here Come My Teeth," Look At My Belly celebrates magical, silly and momentous events in the life of a child.

Look At My Belly is an honored NAPPA (National Parenting Publications Association) Gold award winner; the CD also received an iParenting Media "Best Children's Music Recording" award.

"Rymer captures the exuberance of little kids with these 13 original songs that celebrate a toddler's world. You'll find the perfect tune to accompany any activity, from cleaning up, getting ready for bed, or just hanging out."-Parenting Magazine, October 2003

NAPPA reviewer John Wood says, "Thank goodness for loving parents that express themselves through music or we wouldn't have such fun songs to share!"

ROCKIN' RYMER: Kid pop that a parent can stand is hard to come by. Hats off, then, to Brady Rymer for his two CD's: Good Morning, Gus and Look At My Belly. These are songs that will stick in your head without driving you insane.-- UrbanBaby Daily, September 23, 2003

"Not everyone has the technology to toss Finding Nemo on the minivan's build-in DVD player and fly over miles of highway in blissful silence. For those unfortunate sould, here's a roundup of kids' CD favorites for your summer travels... Look At My Belly: Brady Rymer, a founding member of the band From Good Homes, has put together a kids' album of original songs derived from folk and blues music that appeals to everyone." -- UrbanBaby Daily, July 2, 2004

"His endearing lyrics on fatherhood and his optimistic outlook brought smiles and toe taps from the audience. Rymer allows his listeners to see the world anew, as if through a child's eyes, never underestimating the grandeur of small things."
Lisa Crowley, The Riverhead Independent, Riverhead, NY, 2003

"We were easily won over by songs such as "Words That I Know", "Here Come My Teeth" (even though most of us here are at an age when we're losing them) and "Off To Bed". Need to satisfy the kids but are Disneyfied to death? Try this disc."
TriCity News, Bradley Beach, NJ, 2003

As a member of From Good Homes, Brady Rymer wrote, recorded, and performed with the group for 13 years, releasing a number of albums, including three on RCA records, 'Open Up The Sky,' 'From Good Homes,' and 'Live at Waterloo,' and sharing the stage with Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews Band, Joan Osborne, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Bob Weir's Rat Dog. In 1998 From Good Homes received an achievement award from Billboard Magazine and Irving Plaza for the most consecutive sold-out performances ever at this respected New York City venue.

Brady slipped into writing children's songs in a family sort of way after the birth of his first child, Gus. Rocking the baby to sleep was Dad's job, and soothing Gus with music just came naturally. Almost effortlessly, Brady's first children's recording, the iParenting Award winning 'Good Morning, Gus' was born. An animated video of the song "You Gotta Eat Your Fruits" from this record was commissioned by the Children's Book-of-the-Month Club and included on a Richard Scarry videotape; "You Gotta Eat Your Fruits" was also an honorable mention in the 2000 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. His NAPPA Gold and iParenting Media Award-winning 'Look at My Belly' evolved in a similar way as Brady's children grew, incorporating a mix of folk, country, rock, pop, and the blues into songs celebrating a toddler's world.

  • Totally cool....
    author: Allison

    I have to say that this CD happens to be totally jamming... My daughter loves this music and when she wants to listen to the CD she marches around chanting, Brady! Brady! My parents grew up in the sixties and they love this too! I love the fact that I can rock and roll with my two and half year old!

  • An absolute must-have!
    author: Marisa

    After buying two traditional children's CDs (with kids singing classic children's songs), and wincing every time we listened to them, I searched for something my daughter and I could both enjoy. I found Brady, and I'm never going back! My daughter (14 mos) loves it--she pulls up her shirt and pats her belly as soon as she hears the intro to "Look at My Belly." I find myself with the songs in my head even a week after listening to the CD. I can't wait until my daughter is older and can sing along!

  • A great sing-along kid's album!
    author: Cinder

    I love this album. Bought it for grandchildren, but I have it and listen to it myself. I especially like Words I Know and I Love You. Kudos especially to the *young artists* on these two songs.

  • This CD has become a ritual...
    author: Magi

    "Look at my Belly" is nothing short of awesome! My son Mike loves the whole thing - Look at my Belly and Words I Know being at the top of the list. We all take part in this evening ritual of dance and song! Buy it!

  • My kids LOVE this CD
    author: Jen

    We have a lot of great children's music, but this CD has vaulted to the top of the list -- sweet lyrics, tuneful music, and a twangy singing voice that adults as well as kids can appreciate. I found myself reaching for it the other day in the car and my kids weren't even with me!

  • great fun for me, my daughter, and her daughter
    author: ann thomas wilkins

    Our little Sofia loves this CD, especially the "belly song"--and she "dances" to it each time it i s on. I love to see her react to music with such joy.

  • Love this CD!!
    author: Moons

    Just fun! I love it as well as my 2+ daughter. We sing along and it never gets annoying like most childrens music. I lost the CD and had to buy a replacement because we enjoy listening so much.

  • Funtastic -- catchy and cool, finally! When does Brady go on tour?
    author: Sally Reiter

    Seriously, I e-mailed Brady right after listening to this CD once and invited him to play in my town. I love all the songs and my husband comes home from work complaining that he say the belly song all day in his head...oh, and the kid likes it too. Mom of one (two if you count hubby)

  • this CD is the BEST!
    author: Janine

    this CD is so much fun. our 5 month old loves when we sing along and dance - he laughs and laughs! and we love listening to it ourselves. it's the kind of music you don't mind singing in the elevator - people without kids won't think you are crazy....

  • Look at my Belly had my mommy and I dancing all day!

    My 11 month old baby, myself and my husband love this CD--especially the big belly song! All the songs are so fitting and they just seem to stick in your head all day long! My baby always starts dancing when she hears it the CD start! Glad I bought it! Thanks!

    author: fran, roger, finula & annabella

    this cd has gotten us peacefully from massachusetts to new jersey. at one point we looked back to see our daughters (ages 2 & 3) playing air guitar in their carseats.

  • can't stop singing these songs!

  • Great CD for both parents and babies
    author: Jennifer S

    These songs are great to sing along with and if they get stuck in your head, they aren't annoying like many other kids CDs. I especially like "Words That I Know".

  • Our favorite children's song writer produces another classic.
    author: Matt R

    Both Look at My Belly and Good Morning Gus are our favorite children cd's which are enjoyed as much by us as our daughter.

  • Won't make parents crazy!
    author: Stephanie Hartman

    ....the only way this cd has made me crazy is that I can't get the title track "Look at My Belly" out of my head and I find myself singing it out loud at random moments! My 8 month old son likes to listen to it while he eats his breakfast.

  • A great CD that can be enjoyed by the entire family!
    author: Ted Kelly

    A great CD that is fun for the whole family. Anyone with a child will truly appreciate this CD.
