Jean Ritchie’s music has been honored with this two-disk set of CDs featuring her songs and some of the songs she made famous, performed by the “folk” luminaries. Yes, Pete Seeger is on it, and Judy Collins. Our cut is Brightest and Best, the little German Christmas song that happens to be Jean’s favorite. You can get a copy from us.
