Little Seed from Elizabeth Mitchell {Giveaway}

As you might know from prior posts, I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Mitchell and her soothing, happy, folksy songs for kids and the adults who love them.  We have a few of her albums as well as a Pandora channel dedicated to her.  Her music always puts us in a good mood, both inside the house and in the car.

Today, July 10th, the singer/songwriter has released her newest album, an homage to Woody Guthrie, titled "Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie" from Smithsonian Folkways.  How fitting that Guthrie's 100th birthday will be celebrated on July 14th.
No surprise: I love this album.  Not just because of Mitchell, but because I like Woody Guthrie's music.  So many of the songs are familiar, not just from Elizabeth's albums, but from growing up hearing them sung at home and at school.

The album contains Mitchell's take on 13 classic songs for children.  I really had no clue how much music for children that Woody Guthrie wrote, and we've been enjoying the discovery of some new pieces.  It's a great album to listen to, with or without the kids.

You can take a listen to "Bling, Blang" and "This Land is Your Land", both perennial favorites that you'll probably recognize.
WIN IT!
One lucky reader will win a copy of Little Seed.  Leave a comment below with your favorite song from the album.  You can get an extra entry if you're an email subscriber, Facebook fan, or for sharing on Twitter.  Leave an additional comment for each entry.

  9. Well, "This Land is Your Land" and "Bling Blang" are pretty wonderful, but they still don't top her cover of "Three Little Birds" for me...this would be awesome to add to our rotation of her music though!
