"Every once in a while, you come across an album that makes you sit up
straight and take notice. Old Mr. Mackle Hackle is one of those unique
albums. Performer/songwriter Gunnar Madsen absolutely shines on his debut children's album."

"I LOVE Old Mr. Mackle Hackle!! I use it in my teaching daily. My students love your songs, and I really appreciate your use of different styles, meters, and tone colors. I also like the different topics, as I'm able to tie in with the classroom teacher's curriculum -- dinosaurs, barnyard
animals..."
Martie Muldoon, Music Teacher

"Who could resist "I'm a Little Twerp," "Born to Chew," or "Tiny Mosquito?" Gunnar Madsen's talent is versatile, his music wide ranging. The lyrics are creative, offbeat, joyous, and entertaining. Hands will clap, toes will tap, and even Grumpy Old Men won't be able to resist a smile."
PARENTS' CHOICE

"Gunnar Madsen's new CD will raise a few eyebrows . . . as well as voices singing along in harmony. A fun romp through a land of chickens, pigs, mosquitos and more that will have you laughing and singing like a chicken on a good hair day!"
Jeff Brown, Program Director
KTOO-FM, Juneau, AK

"Fleshed out with rootsy and faux-classical instrumentation, Madsen's lyrics are smart, sassy, and right on target, operating on multiple levels, pleasing both adult and juvenile audiences. Winning and witty!"
