I love how Elizabeth Mitchell is joined by her friends and family on every album that she does. Her daughter, Storey, is adorable and sings along with her mother, father and others on the album. Elizabeth Mitchell is acclaimed by Time magazine as one of the "Stars of Kindie Rock". Kindie Rock is Indie Rock for kids. One of my favorites on this CD is "Why, Oh Why?". This song is so perfect because children have so many questions and even though some of them are often silly they really want to know the answers and explore their world more. I also love the balafon in "Sleep Eye" on the album...it is one of my favorite instruments. "Who's my Pretty Baby?" is one of my favorites to sing to my little ones. Everyone knows "This Land is Your Land...at least the first verse...I was not aware of other verses, but sure enough Elizabeth sings all of them on this compilation. My daughter Teela's favorite is "Merry-Go-Round" for obvious reasons...she loves horses! There are many other great songs on this album. Elizabeth's re-imagination of the Woody Guthrie songs are pure and wonderful.

I <3 Elizabeth Mitchell and would take any of her CD's, but I esp. love the one with You Are My Sunshine.
Sounds so sweet. :)
You are my little bird
You Are My Little Bird is one I would love as well :) Some beautiful songs on there, but then that's true of all her albums!
Love these songs!!! :) Our girls listen to CDs everyday when we are in the car. "Who's my Pretty Baby?" is one of my favorites! Thanks for sharing, looking forward to listening to more of her music!
I think any of them would be nice. Great give away,thanks.
