Here are some recent comments about Loose Caboose Band's brand new 2008 CD, "Mighty Big Broom":

"My favorite song...is "Ridin' on the Gravy Train" because of its jazzy/blues style...I will send the CD on to my daughter...in Los Angeles. She and her husband have two sons, age 3 and 6. I suspect they might enjoy the songs a great deal."
Larry D.

"I enjoyed the C.D, (particularly "Climbing on Daddy Mountain" and "My very First Haircut"). You have a simple/naive style that gives you a direct line to kids under five...Mr. Rogers comes to mind, but you have more humor and fun...It's very clear you know a lot about children."
Doug K.

Here are some exciting comments about Loose Caboose Band's first CD, "The Caboose Is Loose"--still a kid's classic!:

"The cd is amazing. My kids love it. My kids listen to a lot of folksy stuff like Arlo & Woody Guthrie, as well as Raffi. My oldest child is a "train-guy" and he just loves it! He was going through your words and everything...my daughter was dancing...they want to hear it on the way to school...It's quite an accomplishment...I'll treasure it."
Alice C.

"Thank you for the cd! We love it. We love "Toothbrush Train" and "Big Boy."
Ethan, Alex and Anna C.

"How lucky we are to have your first CD!...Our son, Ryan (20 months old) knows all the songs, and depending on what he's doing, he's got lots of favorites...Thanks for providing us with great entertainment and lots of wonderful memories!"
Chris and Tina H.

"The Carey brothers are real-estate managers by day but like to rock and roll and sing and dance, too. With the pianos, guitars, trumpets, bodhran and doumbek drums and didgeridoos of the Rootin' Tootin' Loose Caboose Band, they put together a CD of their original songs for kids. Their catchy melodies should have both kids and parents smiling."
