The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs

Our love affair with folk songs runs as deep as the endur­ing power of music, nature, creativity, and the longings of the human heart. Artist Jennie Smith celebrates the tradi­tion with her illustrated renderings of thirteen soulful songs, including time-honored Scottish ballads, classics by the likes of the Carter Family, contemporary favourites by Gillian Welch, and more. Smith's art-hopeful, sincere, and delicate-adds an unexpected and charming dimen­sion to a familiar genre. With a foreword from contempo­rary folk legend Michael Hurley, complete lyrics, and playable tablature or sheet music for each song, this is a keepsake collection for the whole family to treasure.
