Kids' Favorite Country Songs

Kids' Favorite Country Songs is a 2007 direct-to-video Sesame Street special featuring Elmo and his country cousin, Elmer. The hour-long video includes over 20 songs and features celebrity guests, in both new footage and clips from the show, including Lee Ann Womack, John McEuen, John Popper, Alison Krauss, LD Miller, Johnny Cash, and in bonus features, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Sugarland.
The video's frame-work parodies the opening of Hee Haw, including an animated chicken replacing the latter show's donkey. 
The DVD also features 8 bonus segments.
