We all come from and go back to Mother Earth!

 

 

Today in honor of Mother's Day, we feature songs of, for and about our one and only Mother Earth. From Navajo singer Sharon Burch and Oneida musician Joanne Shenandoah to different versions of the blues classic "Mother Earth" to Neko Case, Tracy Nelson (and Mother Earth), Tom Rush and lots more! We'll also have some seldom-played songs about Mom.
