Woody Guthrie's Happy Joyous Hanukkah is an album by The Klezmatics, released in 2006.[4] It contains Hanukkah-themed songs, with most of the lyrics written by American folk singer Woody Guthrie in 1949.
Critical reception
AllMusic wrote that the album "largely lives up to its name, stacked with uptempo, celebratory, often quite clever tributes to the festive Jewish holiday."[2] The Sun Sentinel called the album "a fascinating project."[1]
