Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Scandalize My Name
ddw noted on 7 August 2001 that Josh White had recorded Scandalize My Name. That recording is now available on a compilation CD, Constant Sorrow: Gems From The Elektra Vaults. 50 original recordings on 2 CDs, 1956 to 1962. It's on a UK label called One Day Music. There are tracks by Judy Collins, Jack Elliott, Paul Clayton, Josh White, Cynthia Gooding, Oscar Brand, Peggy Seeger, Dave Van Ronk, Bob Gibson, Jean Ritchie, Theodore Bikel, Jean Redpath, Ed McCurdy, and others.

There's not much information about individual tracks in the liner notes. All it says about the Josh White recording of Scandalize My Name is that it was made in 1955, and appeared on the album, Josh At Midnight. There's clearly a second singer on the recording, but he is not identified on this release. It appears to have been Sam Gary, about whom I know nothing. In fact, I think it's Sam Gary taking the lead vocals on Scandalize, Josh White doing harmonies.
