"Joyful and upbeat, Kookie inspires young listeners to take good care of themselves and wholeheartedly pursue their dreams. Highly recommended!" -Midwest Book Review
"Jamie approaches his subjects with a childlike inquisitive mind and takes them to an energy level that the kids will respond to." -Broadway World "Jumpin' Jamie has managed to traverse the difficult pathway between simple and difficult. His debut CD, Kookie, delivers power-pop, parody, and positivity in equal measure." -GeekDad "An album made with love for the peewee punks! This high energy album covers a range of relatable childhood themes as well as some nods to seminal kid moments for those who grew up in the 80s." -Eat The Marshmallow "The best kindie musicians strike a tone that can be endearing, enthusiastic or challenging, but never patronizing. Listening to “Kookie,” you can tell Jamie loves this style of rock, and knows his audience." - (cool) progeny "This high energy album will have listeners rocking and rolling all over the house.” -Bookworm Bev "The song is awesome. Seriously. Good luck getting it out of your la-la-la-head." -Tenor Dad (on "Astronauts Love") "It's got an angular pop melody reminiscent of early Elvis Costello, with a la-la-la chorus -- it's a charming slice of kindie pop-rock." -Zooglobble (on "Astronauts Love) |
