Readers Who Need Readers: Help Identify This Album

A request from a reader who is disdainful of capitalization (but that's ok, i am too sometimes):

i am hoping you can help me put a name to a musician i remember from
my childhood... here are all the details i can remember:
> early 70s
> it was on a cassette tape (possibly from sears)
> the cassette had a face on it, with the reel holes being eyes
> folk songs interspersed with short narration about the songs
> the only songs i can remember for sure: someone's in the kitchen, jimmy crack corn, something about flies (shoo fly ple?)
> mostly (if not all) guitar and maybe banjo

A brief Google search on my part turned up nothing -- I think this is going to have to rely on a reader with a long memory. Any suggestions? Leave 'em in the comments.

This sounds like it could have been Pete Seeger or Burl Ives.

Could have also been Tom Glaser.

What was did the cover art look like?
