about

The Sounding Joy is a spirited collection of folk carols drawn from Ruth Crawford Seeger’s 1953 songbook American Folk Songs for Christmas. This album celebrates the spirit of community and homespun traditions that existed in times before the commercialization of Christmas. Natalie Merchant, Aoife O’Donovan, Amy Helm, John Sebastian, Dan Zanes, Happy Traum, and many others including special guest Peggy Seeger join Elizabeth Mitchell to pay tribute to a collection revered in the canon of American music. 70 minutes, 32-page booklet with photos.

“The Sounding Joy is a homecoming, a community gathering on common ground where everyone is welcome. That’s the spirit in which it was conceived and recorded.”
--Natalie Merchant, from the liner notes
