  • Description

    This collection features delightful songs for young children as well as the work songs, blues, and spirituals Lead Belly used to teach children about the experiences and emotions of adult life. Originally recorded in children's concerts and studios for Moses Asch and Folkways Records in the 1940s, the 28 songs and spoken introductions reveal the humor, humanity, and musical genius of one of the great artists of the twentieth century. Essential listening for all ages. This album received a 1999 Early Childhood News Director's Choice Award. Produced by Moses Asch. Reissue compiled and annotated by Jeff Place.
