This song would fit perfectly on Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music. The same weird beauty.

I've loved this song for 20 years, so nice to see that it is being addressed and brought to more people. Bummer that the articles are paywalled. I wonder if the two versions sung by males are able to be found?

Found a wonderful mini doc on YouTube about finding the people who sang it 10 years ago! Thanks for bringing it all back :)

Thank you for this this morning! Is that a male vocal or the sisters’ version? I can’t quite work out which of the three recordings this is
