there's a superb rendition by the Klezmatics &
Susan McKeown on the Klezmatics' brand new album, Woody Guthrie's Happy
Joyous Hanuka (Woody Guthrie Publications). This is the first of the
Klezmatics' two CDs of Jewish-themed songs by Woody Guthrie. It's all
Chanukah songs and it's absolutely wonderful.
