What others are saying about On-The-Loose Dreams:
- "Children's music doesn't get much better than these 15 songs by Pomes in a Pail... An amazing collaboration... The great vocals combined with incredible instrumentation gives the entire album a Broadway feel. This extremely high quality production deserves a space in every collection."
-- Veronica Schwartz, School Library Journal - "Thoroughly entertaining and very sophisticated! If Mom and Dad don't understand all the intricacies of this enchanting album, the kids will no doubt explain it all to them. What a treat for Rock-sore ears and Rap-dimmed brains."
-- John Sparks, Artistic Director, Theatre Building Chicago - "What a fun, whimsical CD! I loved the fusion of blues, pop, and children's songs -- perfect for family listening on long car trips or even just at home."
-- Laura Lynch, music teacher, L. J. Hauser Jr. High School, Riverside, IL - "Successfully combines playfulness and fun with quality music and lyrics. Adult wisdom is delivered with kid-friendly lyrics and tunes. This CD is a great addition to a home or classroom music library."
-- Erin McCarthy, 4th/5th grade teacher, Central School, Riverside, IL - "15 catchy, toe-tapping tunes for children that adults will love as well."
-- Janis Irvine, The Book Bin, Northbrook, IL - "A phenomenal effort! This is one of the most underrated masterpieces I've ever experienced. I stumbled upon this CD (my sweetheart is children's music singer) and couldn't believe what I was hearing. It's like an amazing Broadway musical that never went into production. Every song hits the mark beautifully. If you listen to the samples, you'll realize you don't have to be a child to want to own this. I also had to purchase the CD for the tremendous CD cover art. I hope all these singers go on to fame and fortune."
-- Captain Universe, iTunes customer - "The perfect holiday stocking stuffer!"
-- Sandy Whitman (Stephie's mom, 'cuz what're moms for?) - "It's a scientific fact: elephants float -- and On-The-Loose Dreams rocks!"
