Elizabeth Mitchell – You Are My Little Bird (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Elizabeth Mitchell occupies a rare space in American folk music, making records for children that feel just as vital on a parent's turntable as they do in a nursery. Her work sits squarely in the Smithsonian Folkways tradition of treating young listeners as full participants in the folk revival, not an afterthought. This anniversary pressing marks the album's long-overdue debut on vinyl, the format its warm, acoustic simplicity always deserved.
Since it's release in 2006, You Are My Little Bird by Elizabeth Mitchell has become a modern classic for children. Themes of birds and flying are woven throughout the album, which includes traditional songs such as "Peace Like a River" and "Little Bird, Little Bird," as well as favorites by Bob Marley, Lou Reed, Vashti Bunyan, and Woody Guthrie. Joined by her family, including her daughter Storey and husband and Ida bandmate Daniel Littleton, Mitchell crafts an inviting, homespun sound that draws young listeners in with it's warmth and tenderness. To celebrate the landmark album's 20th anniversary in 2026, it has been reissued by Smithsonian Folkways on LP for the first time.
