The Sounding Joy: Christmas Songs In and Out of the Ruth Crawford Seeger Songbook (CD review)
*Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I received a complimentary CD for review purposes
I was excited to listen to this CD because we don’t currently have a wide collection of Holiday music. I immediately began to hum & sing along to the tunes; my little ones picked them up quickly and joined in. The songs immediately brought me back to my childhood and my holiday memories of faith, family and traditions. Visit here for a FREE song download. This CD is a great addition to our new Holiday music library.
