Performed by Elizabeth Mitchell.
In Little Seed, Elizabeth Mitchell embraces the gentle genius of America's musical bard Woody Guthrie, reminding us of how the loving bonds between parent and child endure and are strengthened through song. Moved by Guthrie's simple yet profound songs created for his daughter, and his ability to inhabit both the perspective of a loving, protective parent and the voice of a freewheeling child, Mitchell makes them her own, joined by family and friends to offer us a re-imagined rendition of classic.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Simple and happy music for children (also enjoyed by adults!) submitted by teri on June 17, 2018, 9:19pm Elizabeth Mitchell does a fine job interpreting Guthrie's songs and making them her own. Children's voices (which are gently in the background - never over-powering Mitchell's voice and guitar), add to the charm. Our little ones love singing along and dancing to this album.
