Endless Skies for Mitchell's Blue Clouds

Elizabeth Mitchell has done it once again. The kids' music star's latest masterpiece, Blue Clouds, continues her trend of performing imaginative original tunes, reinterpreting pop songs, and uncovering world music treasures.

Blue Clouds refamiliarizes families with traditional songs like "Hop Up, My Ladies" and "Froggie Went a-Courtin'" while introducing young listeners to tunes by Jimi Hendrix, Van Morrison, David Bowie, Bill Withers, and The Allman Brothers Band. Mitchell hits another perfect chord with Blue Clouds, one of the best kids' music CDs of 2012.
