Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Fishes Little & Big: Animal Folk Songs

Two Pete Seegar classics available on CD for the first time. Featuring 28 tracks with complete lyrics all energetically performed with banjo accompaniment. Track highlights include: "Teeny Weency Spider," "Frog Went a Courtin'," "Leatherwing Bat," "The Elephant" and more!

Folk music represents the best of Americana, and nobody performs folk music better than Pete Seeger. This charming collection of animal songs, remastered from two Seeger LPs originally recorded in 1955, will delight children and parents alike. Comfortable, well-known titles like "I Had a Rooster," "Frog Went A-Courting," "Skip to My Lou," and "I Know an Old Lady (Who Swallowed a Fly)" allow for great family sing-alongs. This album is an excellent example of the simplicity of traditional folk music, with Seeger's warm, friendly vocals and a single yet finely picked banjo as accompaniment. Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Fishes would be an excellent choice for car trips as well as for feeling right at home in your living room. --Deborah Moore
