Variations of the song have also been recorded under the titles of <strong>"Girl of Constant Sorrow"</strong> by Joan Baez, <strong>"Maid of Constant Sorrow"</strong> by Judy Collins, and <strong>"Sorrow"</strong> by Peter, Paul and Mary. It was released as a single by Ginger Baker's Air Force with vocals by Denny Laine.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>In the aforementioned film, the song is sung by The Soggy Bottom Boys, a group made up for the movie with George Clooney as one of the members. In the film, the group sang the song twice, first in a radio station with acoustic guitar backup and then on stage during a political campaign dinner. The real singing voice was that of Dan Tyminski from the band Union Station (led by Alison Krauss). The recording won a Grammy for Best Country Collaboration at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in 2002.</p><p><br></p><p>The backing track is from my CS.
