Bowling Green and Other Folk Songs From the Southern Mountains is a 1956 album by the Kossoy Sisters, containing their renditions of Appalachian folk songs. The sisters sing in tight close harmony, with additional instrumental accompaniment by Erik Darling.[2] Originally released on Tradition Records, the album was re-released on CD by Rykodisc in 1996.[2]

The album's third track, "I'll Fly Away," was featured in the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother, Where Art Thou?,[3] although the movie's Grammy-winning soundtrack album substituted a different rendition of the song.[2] The Kossoys' version of the Carter Family's "Single Girl, Married Girl" from this album is heard in the 2014 film Obvious Child.[4]
