ELIZABETH MITCHELL & FRIENDS: The Sounding Joy - Christmas Songs In and Out Of The Ruth Crawford Seeger Songbook

The Sounding Joy is a spirited collection of folk carols drawn from Ruth Crawford Seeger's 1953 songbook American Folk Songs for Christmas.

Natalie Merchant, Aoife O'Donovan, John Sebastian, Dan Zane's, Happy Traum, and many others including special guest Peggy Seeger all add their voices to pay tribute to a collection revered in the canon of American music.
