1/20/2008 Womenfolk
On today's show we celebrated MLK Day with some songs inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and the legacy of African Americal spirituals. We also welcomed Ellis:http://www.ellis-music.com back to Womenfolk for a live performance. We heard new songs and talked about the making of her new CD in NYC. If you missed it, you can hear it on the archives below. Also, tune in next Sunday for another chance to win tickets to her Feb. 2nd CD release concert at the Cedar:http://www.thecedar.org! -efs.
