A PARENTS' CHOICE RECOMMENDED, NAPPA HONORS, AND iPARENTING MEDIA AWARD-WINNER, "I FOUND IT." is "a down-home downright delectable collection of rock 'n' roll songs" (John Wood, NAPPA), a soulful, funky, feel-good party for kids and their families.

notes

This is music for kids with a rock 'n' roll heart. Brady Rymer's multi-award winning "I Found It!" is a hip descendant of the happy, sing-along spirit of Motown, the party atmosphere of the E Street Band and Bruce Springsteen, and the warmth and heart of Bob Marley. Says Rymer, formerly of the RCA roots rock band From Good Homes, "I wanted this CD to be a soulful, funky, feel-good party for kids and their raised-on-radio parents, to show folks just how much fun they can have listening to good, happy music with people they love!" The songs encourage children to creatively explore new and familiar aspects of the world around them, and celebrate small but momentous achievements in a child's world. The infectious "Drawing on the Sidewalk" invites kids to show the world all that's in their hearts by using their imagination; "I Found It!" turns the loss of a loved toy into a celebration of finding it; "Bathtub Soup" creates a deliciously silly meal from the stuff children bring to bathtime. "I Found It!" has been honored with a Parents' Choice 2004 Recommended Award, a NAPPA (National Parenting Publications Association) 2004 Honors Award, a Publishers Weekly 2004 "Listen Up!" Award, and an iParenting Media "Hot Product 2004" Award.

"Rymer rocks out with an infectious sense of delight on his third collection for kids. In the tradition of experienced rock/pop musicians taking a new direction into children's music (usually inspired by parenthood), Rymer doesn't disappoint older fans (who may know him from the band From Good Homes) or new aficionados. His guitar-driven blend of alt-folk and rock has a light mood and sophistication that in a surprising way makes a perfect complement to lyrics like "I'm a little raindrop/falling down, down, down... and I sound like this/dibble dibble dibble dibble dibble dop." The minutiae of kid-dom inspire such dance-inducing numbers as "Bathtub Soup" and "Drawing on the Sidewalk." All in all, an excellent crossover selection for toe-tapping with the whole family. Children's book fans will recognize CD sleeve art by Dan Yaccarino. All Ages. - PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY LISTEN UP! AWARD, STARRED REVIEW, November 2004

"A down-home downright delectable collection of rock 'n' roll songs!"-John Wood, NAPPA 2004

"Brady Rymer has a delightful touch with lyrics, creating songs filled with heart and gentle fun."--Lynne Heffley, PARENTS' CHOICE FOUNDATION

"Rymer captures the exuberance of little kids... 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

"Thank goodness for loving parents that express themselves through music or we wouldn't have such fun songs to share!"-John Wood, NAPPA 2003

"ROCKIN' RYMER: Kid pop that a parent can stand is hard to come by. Hats off, then, to Brady Rymer. These are songs that will stick in your head without driving you insane."-URBANBABY DAILY

"Youth music stops kidding around! Kids are ready to rock. Supersweet musicians like Raffi used to dominate the market, but a new generation of performers is bringing a more sophisticated, rock-tinged style to the genre. Brady Rymer came to the kiddie arena after 13 years as the bassist for the popular jam band From Good Homes."-NEW YORK DAILY NEWS, August 2004

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.

As Brady's kids grew up, his songs grew up with them. His new album 'I Found It!' began to emerge when his children, Gus and Daisy broke into his collection of classic rock LPs, coming up with questions like, "Daddy, does this one rock? Is this one jammin'?" While the kids played their favorites over and over, Brady was at work on his own songs. So it's no wonder those rockin', jammin' sounds the kids love bring a bracing edge to the new CD. Driven by the beat, accented by precision back-up singers you can almost see swaying, the songs on 'I FOUND IT!' are a delight to parents who share Rymer's personal hit parade - and that's everyone who, like Brady himself, was raised on radio.

    author: Kathy O'Connell

    Terrific CD! Earns its exclamation point for enthusiasm and excitement that will hit a home run with younger kids. As young ones grow away from Barney and Sesame Street, Brady Rymer is a great pathfinder toward musical independence.

    author: steven

  • Car Tunes!
    author: BabyTalk Magazine, June/July 2005

    The right music can make a long car ride seem shorter. We've discovered a CD that not only our babies but our husbands actually like. I Found It! was created by a father who melds bouncy baby ditties and rock 'n' roll.

  • Rock Of All Ages: I Found It!
    author: New York Post, April 9, 2005

    From one of the former members of the rootsy rock band From Good Homes comes good tunes with '60's soul touches. Brady Rymer writes cheerful songs about the joys of childhood-- from retrieving lost Barbie dolls and race cars to "Drawing on the Sidewalk" and "Eatin' Animal Crackers," with a few mentions of Gibson Guitars and "rockin' with a rolling pin" thrown in. Those flourishes only add to the fun, without speaking down to children or parents, who may find themselves singing along.

  • Gets the whole family groovin'!
    author: New York Daily News, June 3, 2005

    Brady Rymer draws on his folk, country, pop and blues roots in songs for pint-size fans and their parents. Rymer and his Little Band That Could gets the whole family groovin'.

  • man-of-the-moment for the preschool set!
    author: Susan Avery, New York Magazine, June 3, 2005

    Brady Rymer is the man-of-the-moment for the preschool set, who sings along to his Motown-style tunes.

  • Kindermusik's Jerry Garcia!
    author: AOL CityGuide, May 2005

    If Dan Zanes is kindermusik's Bob Dylan, Brady Rymer may be its Jerry Garcia, drawing on his love of old-school folk, country, pop and blues to create "jamming" sing-alongs for the under 10 set. His infectious rave-ups are all the rage with audiophiles too old for Barney and too hip for Raffi, teaching gentle lessons about issues ranging from imagination to independence.

  • great piece of art!!
    author: richard

    perfect gift for kids

  • Great Songs! I find myself signing along with the CD!
    author: Melissa Bien

    I found exactly what I was looking for with this CD - kids music that I enjoyed too. The songs are fun and the music is easy on the ears. My son and I both really enjoy it. I would recommend to anyone travling in a car with kids!

  • My Favorite
    author: James Lee- 18 months

    We have all 3 Brady Rymer CD's, and this is my favorite. I love to sing with this and clap along in my car seat when we are driving. I love it so much I am buying it for all my friends, and I really recommend it to all other children.

  • audio of the week 3/21/05! a must-have for public libraries!
    author: school library journal

    Featuring 11 original tunes, this CD is outstanding. Rymer's lively and energetic focals are clever and fun. He's accompanied by a rich sounding orchestra featuring drums, guitar, saxophones and more. The delightful lyrics that children and parents are sure to enjoy are the highlight of the collection. In "cookin' Saturday," rymer sings about making breakfast with mama. Especially silly is "bathtub soup." Listeners will enjoy the lively rhythm and have fun dancing along to the rock 'n' roll beat. this delightful collection is a must have for public libraries.

  • Simply the coolest kids’ CD our reviews editor has ever heard!
    author: Today's Parent (Canada)

    Simply the coolest kids’ CD our reviews editor has ever heard, this album has all the “real musician” credibility you’d expect of Rymer, a founding member of From Good Homes, which toured with Bob Dylan and Hootie and the Blowfish.

  • Love It!
    author: Emily Busch

    This rock and roll for kids is so much better than listening to "Mary Had a Little Lamb" all the time. My 3-year-old daughter loves it and my husband and I are totally OK with getting the songs stuck in our heads! Thank you for being clever and talented enough to write great music and songs that the whole family can listen to together.

  • Wicked fun and lot's of dancing!
    author: Nicole

    We loved your CD! Lot's of fun, high energy music to pep up our time in the house and in the car! My baby is still too little to cook with me on Saturday's but I can't wait until he can - what a sweet and special song, and beautiful music all round! Well done.

    PARENTING PICK: From the relief of recovering his lost race car from under the bed to the delight of biting off the head of a fierce wild animal (cracker), Brady Rymer is cleverly rockin' in a kid's world.

  • What a great CD to sing along with my daughter.
    author: dave neil

    I bought this CD for my seven year old daughter for Christmas. I recived it a week before and thought I would give it a listen. I can't wait to play the CD with her because I know if I like it, she will love it. Thanks Brady for making music I can share with my child.

  • author: Liz Garcia

    I'm so glad we found this CD. Brady has a real knack for making children's music fun for everyone to listen to. My daughter can listen to the same music over and over again until we are ready to scream, but with I Found It, I sometimes listen to it when she isn't even around!! The lyrics are playful, and the tunes make you want to dance. This is just happy feel good music.

  • I do love these songs!
    author: Cinder

    Another great bunch of songs! As a gramma buying for grandkids, I especially like hearing mention of things I recall from my childhood and knowing that my children and grandchildren will recognize them,too. (Also, good music for working out on the stationary bike!)

  • Awesome tunes and jams...great listening for the whole family
    author: Sarah Strauss

    This is our son's favorite CD. He already knows all the songs and lyrics by heart and we have only had it for one week! What a great thing for kids and their parents that Brady is making such fun and enlightening music. It's a perfect gift for all!

    author: UrbanBaby Daily

    "RYMER REASON: The latest good news? Award-winning, independent kid's recording artist and From Good Homes founding member, Brady Rymer, has just released a third CD entitled 'I Found It!' Having shared the stage with Dylan, The Dave Matthews Band, Joan Osborne, Hootie and the Blowfish and Bob Weir's Rat Dog, Rymer has a fan base that spans from grizzled forty-somethings right down to their fresh-faced progeny-and his music reflects the range. His new disc -- a follow-up to the award-winning recordings Good Morning, Gus and Look at My Belly -- is a hip descendant of the sing-along spirit of Motown, the party atmosphere of classic rock, and the warmth and heart of Reggae. In other words, it's got something for almost everyone." -- December 2004

  • So much fun!
    author: Joanna

    This is Brady's best! We listen to this cd all the time and love it more each time we listen to it. My fourteen month old daughter dances to the songs and it always brings a smile to her face. My three year old nephew thinks it is the best and especially loves the song Under The Bed because it mentions Spiderman. What a treasure!
