What parents, musicians and educators are saying about Coal Train Railroad:
“I love what Chris & Katy are bringing to the table with Coal Train Railroad. It makes ME feel like a kid again! I think children of all ages will love the humor, silliness and the catchy, cool, and crazy music that reminds us all that music should be fun to listen to. I’m honored (and slightly tickled) to be part of this wonderful project. Thanks!”
-Jeff Coffin 3x Grammy Winning Saxophonist/Composer (Dave Matthews Band, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, The Jeff Coffin Mu’tet))
“If you want your kid to be cool when they grow up stick COAL TRAIN RAILROAD in the minivan ipod dock when taking the family vacation this year! While super catchy, packed with energy, full of fun feel-good runs, riffs, and sounds, COAL TRAIN RAILROAD is educational and pays homage to some of the jazz greats.” Brooke Waggoner, singer & songwriter
“Just ordered two. So excited to expose «my» nieces to this great music!!!!!” Janna Roper, aunt
“Quirky, cool, and touching… in all the right ways. In the tradition of classic children’s songs and stories, this record is for everyone… moms, dads, musicians, and of course KIDS.”
Neilson Hubbard, producer and songwriter
“My kidlets & I love, love, LOVE Coal Train Railroad, at least the 2 songs we have heard over & over!! Can’t wait for the rest!!” Anne Dye, parent on Twitter
“Coal Train Railroad is a wonderful age-appropriate vehicle for transporting young children into the world of jazz.” Mary Ann Dudko, Ph.D., Educational/Media Consultant
“Buy one for each child in your life. If there are no children in your life, get a new life.” Denis Haack, editor of Critique magazine
“All them notes is nutritious for them little noggins!” Pianist/composer Scott Hallgren
“I wanna jump on the Coal Train and ride ride ride! Full the best jazz children’s songs I’ve ever heard!” Julie Lee, singer/songwriter
“With Coal Train, Katy Bowser has done the seemingly impossible. She’s produced a record that is as catchy and well crafted as it is charming and loved by my 2 year old son and 7 month old daughter. In a market where most wildly popular children’s music is almost unlistenable after repeat listens by parents, Coal Train is a record that this daddy (& mommy) put on the stereo well after the little ones are in bed. A great record is a great record, regardless who it’s made for.”
Derek Webb, singer/songwriter/daddy of Rhodes and Carter
