Artist: Brady Rymer and the Little Band That Could
Album: Live from Brooklyn
Age Range: 3 to 9
Description: Rymer's 2011 album Love Me For Who I Am was an album inspired by and to some extent recorded for students at a school for children with alternative learning styles, but its empathy and Rymer's genial roots-rock sound helped make that album have a wider appeal. This live EP recorded that spring at Southpaw in Brooklyn draws primarily from that album, but also features Rymer's raved-up version of hit "Jump Up," the tender "I'm In Here," and one funky "Ding Dong." And, as always, The Little Band That Could, who years ago I said "might just be the best-sounding band in kids music," still sounds pretty darn good. Recommended, especially if your family has never heard or seen the band live.
