When I heard my son’s school sing Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land” this year, I was stirred by its timeless message. So I was delighted when I discovered Elizabeth Mitchell’s new CD of 13 child-friendly Guthrie classics!
Sure, we couldn’t be more excited to see the Fresh Beat Band in concert later this month, but Mitchell’s “Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie” reminds us that the folk hero’s soothing songs are worth revisiting.
“Little Seed: Songs for Children by Woody Guthrie” CD, $11.98; $9.99 for download; www.folkways.si.edu.
