Wayfaring Stranger vs Little Sparrow
Sunday, September 3rd, 2017 04:18 pmRhiannon Giddens - Wayfaring Stranger
The above song sounds VERY familiar to me. It triggered a memory of a different voice singing it, in a slightly different way. But the song title is not present in my music collection, unless I taped it from the radio on one of my as yet uncatalogued audio cassettes.
I checked a list of other artists who have covered the song, and when I saw Dolly Parton's name, I thought "oh YES, that's the voice I was thinking of." But the only solo song I have by Dolly Parton is this one:
Dolly Parton - Little Sparrow
Both of those songs sound very similar to me. So that must be the song I was remembering.
Dolly Parton has sung Wayfaring Stranger, too. The beginning of it has the same sound as the above two, but once past 30 seconds in, it sounds very different. So this is NOT the song I was remembering.

Audra May has sung a cover of Little Sparrow, which is also very good:
Audra Mae - Little Sparrow
