Getting airplay on adult music stations, "Mama's Love" from "I'm a Kid!" fuels Jeanie's dream of crossover music that blurs the line between music written solely for a young audience and songs that are loved by the whole family young and old alike.
It's also getting airplay in these countries as well as the U.S.: Austria, Germany, Scotland, England, Italy, France, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand.
"We just can't stop listening to our new CD, "Mommy Knows Best". My 3-year-old loves to sing along with Jeannie B. and the Jelly Beans. We loved the first CD, "I'm a Kid", and have practically worn it out. "Mommy Knows Best" seems to have crossed into another stratosphere from a technical and production standpoint. The bar has been raised. Each and every song appeals to children and adults, from the fun and the hip to the soothing and beautiful lullabies. I am especially fond of "Mommy's in Menopause". Thanks for the enjoyable and outstanding music!" — Sheneya Bhote-Seigel: Mother of 2
I appreciate your music and truly believe that both children and adults need it. I love the song about Mommy having Menopause. Hilarious! I believe children are intelligent and deserve intelligent music, and adults sometimes need to take a few steps back and remember what it's like to be a kid again. Keep doing what you're doing. It's AWESOME!!! — Venessa B. Gonzalez
"I just wanted to drop you a note and tell you how much we are enjoying your CD. It is always on in the car and for awhile we just had the "repeat" button on the" I Love You song" which quickly became our favorite. After playing it about 100 times we traveled to the "Washing Machine" song which Mary remembered and loved from the concert. Now we are also playing the "Super Hero" song and the "Baby Song" which is the one that starts..."There's a baby in my dreams and he never ever screams..." I swear it was written for us because we LOVE Dairy Queen and Mary has just started to be afraid of the big shadow her pet bunny casts on the wall at night. Thanks for the help with that latest drama. We love the others too but wanted to mention our favorites.
When you told me how music was your "third kid" I was so struck by that. I just wanted you to know the daily joy your music has been bringing us as we have been working through lots of transitions [...] thanks for lightening up our spirit. What a blessing to be able to make such a happy difference in others' lives. I push a lot of paper and I envy you...actually the word should be inspired. I bet I could find a way to if I worked on it with my head and heart. Anyway... thanks again so much for your music. Our whole family is loving it."— Maria Slowinski, Mother of 2
"I love to listen to Jeanie B and the Jelly Beans every night at dinner. "I'm a Kid" and "Gene Pool" are my favorite songs right now. My brother loves "I'm a Washing Machine", maybe it's because he makes such a mess during dinner my mom is always washing his clothes. The best thing about Jeanie's music is my mom loves it too." — Samantha, 3 years old
"The songs are catchy and fun and all are great for children! I especially love the lyrics "There is nothing you can do...". Makes me laugh and cry. Overall the CD is a great addition to any kids' music collection. She (Jeanie) has a great voice, very Carole King like, and one parent at a story time mentioned Laurie Berkner. She's in good company!" — Nili; Mud Pies, Chicago IL
"[Our daughter] Holly thoroughly enjoys your "I'm a Kid" CD...and so do her parents! Your guitar playing and singing are fantastic, and we all laughed out loud at some of the lyrics...very enjoyable." — Margaret, Mike and Holly
"I just wanted to say that not only do my kids enjoy your CD but so do I. My 2 and 5yr old have shared it with their preschool classes and they love it. I am purchasing a CD for each class because they like them so much. You will have a name in Atlanta." — Marty; Mother of 2
