Bowling Green is a 1956 album by the Kossoy Sisters. The album consists of traditional folk songs. It features arrangements in a tight, two-part vocal harmony, with additional instrumental accompaniment by Erik Darling.[1] In 2000, the third cut, "I'll Fly Away", was featured in the Coen Brothers film O Brother, Where Art Thou?[2], although the movie's "soundtrack" album used a different version.[3] Another song from the same album, the Kossoys' version of the Carter Family's "Single Girl, Married Girl", is heard on the soundtrack of the 2014 film release Obvious Child[4]. Originally released on Tradition, the album was re-released as a CD by Rykodisc in 1996.[5]

AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann rated the album four stars out of five.[6]
