There are two traditional versions of "The Cruel War is Raging" on Folk-Legacy. The first was recorded for us back in 1962 by Fleming Brown and is available as a custom cassette (C-4). The other was recorded by Sarah Ogan Gunning, half-sister of the famous Aunt Molly Jackson, a traditional singer from the Kentucky coal fields. She called her version of the song "May I Go With You, Johnny" and it, too, may be heard on a custom cassette of her album (C-28) which was titled Girl of Constant Sorrow (a song which she wrote, based, of course, on the older "Man of Constant Sorrow"). Look for either recording under "custom" on the Folk-Legacy web site: www.folklegacy.com.
