Mike Seeger recorded it on his Vanguard LP (VRS/VSD 79150) and the Highwoods String Band performed it live, I'm not sure if they recorded it.

D. K. Wilgus (UCLA Center for the Study of Comparative Folklore and Mythology) in his notes for the Mike Seeger album States:

"Less known, but as mysterious is the blues ballad "I've Been All Around This World". This defiant confession is said to have arisen in the Ozarks (though it utilizes some British elements) and to concern a murderer hanged in Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the 1870's. But the song seems to be widely known in hobo tradition and the "Blue Ridge Mountains" occurs elsewhere as well as in this text (from Grandpa Jones, King 524,
; 1946). If there is a "Bluestone Mountain" (which occurs in the Ozark form) in Arkansas, I have been unable to locate it."

I hope this is scholarly and academic enough for you all.......
