Dan Zanes and Elizabeth Mitchell June 11, 2011

Two of the most beloved artists working in kids’ music today team up for this very special project. Zanes is a Grammy winner whose rollicking and inclusive approach to traditional songs from around the world Rolling Stone has called “wry, rootsy, real American folk music.” Mitchell, the first new children’s music artist signed to Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in the 21st century, sings sweet, perfect renditions of Woody Guthrie classics and other old-timey gems, along with the occasional Bob Marley and Velvet Underground cover. They join forces here for a stripped down acoustic set that will appeal to music lovers of all ages.

"True children's music, but executed with such sweet (and un-gooey!) humor, casual multiculturalism and shambling groove that you can call it your own." –The New York Times
