Beloved Children’s Musician Joanie Leeds Has a New Song About Cholent
I never thought I’d hear a catchy children’s song about my favorite Ashkenazi Shabbat meal, but “Cholent Time” by Joanie Leeds is not only an ode to the comforting beef stew, but to something that warms the heart and soul even more — books.
Timely, greatly appreciated, and welcome | Midwest Book Review
“The songs comprising “Freadom!” by Joanie Leeds is an especially timely, greatly appreciated, and welcome contribution to our on-going national concerns about the banning books in schools and libraries is service to the current culture wars seeking to continue and protect the prejudices, bigotries, and disinformation that continue to contaminate our culture and society today.” – Jim Cox, Midwest Book Review

Songs of Sisterhood | New York Times
“Its 11 folk-rock tunes feature lots of fiddle, guitar and percussion as they extol independence, equality and sisterly solidarity… With a voice that can evoke the mellow warmth of Sheryl Crow or the pop brio of Belinda Carlisle, Leeds reminds girls that they’ll do fine “without glass slippers” (or a Prince Charming). And where better to learn new vocabulary like “notorious” and “jabot” than in the single “RBG,” a tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsburg?” – The New York Times
