Laurie Lewis and Tom Rosin do "Going to the West" on the C.D. Laurie Lewis and Her Bluegrass Pals. They arranged the song in the form of a conversation between a man and woman, singing alternating lines. It works very well this way. I first heard the song done by Bill Staines who , I agree does a great version also. By the way, the liner notes on the L.L. c.d. state that they learned it at a workshop years ago, and that the origin was the Byron Arnold book of Alabama folk songs.
