Bowling Green (album)

Bowling Green and Other Folk Songs From the Southern Mountains is a 1956 album by the Kossoy Sisters, containing their renditions of Appalachian folk songs. The sisters sing in tight close harmony, with additional instrumental accompaniment by Erik Darling. Originally released on Tradition Records, the album was re-released on CD by Rykodisc in 1996.

The album's third track, "I'll Fly Away," was featured in the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, although the movie's Grammy-winning soundtrack album substituted a different rendition of the song. The Kossoys' version of the Carter Family's "Single Girl, Married Girl" from this album is heard in the 2014 film Obvious Child.
