Hush, Little Baby

The March 22 show of A Prairie Home Companion had a wonderful rendition of "Hush Little Baby" by Inga Swearingen (iTunes link). You'll need RealPlayer to listen. (You browser should walk you through the setup if you don't already have RealPlayer; be sure you just get the free player, and not the free trial of the pro player — Real is bad about coercing the upsell.)

I love the sound of it. Light, and just enough variation that the repetition stays interesting without losing the repetitive structure. It's hard to make an a cappella solo sound good, but she's done it.
