Music for the Whole Family with JJ Heller
Today on the Simply Joyful Podcast we welcome back one of my favorites, JJ Heller! Today we’re going to chat about JJ’s newest album, I Dream of You: Volume II. It’s a twelve track compilation of her favorite cover songs from the 1950s through today. It is such an amazing album. In fact, since recording this episode, my girls have fallen in love with this album. They listen to it over and over. They dance to it, sing to it. They just love it. There is just something so unique about JJ’s voice — and yes, I did talk her into singing on this episode! You are in for a treat.
