Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier
Not much to do with survival; I'm wondering if anyone knows the female vocal artist who did a rendition of "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier," also known as "Buttermilk Hill," for the 1995 Discovery Channel mini series, "The American Revolution," narrated by Charles Kuralt.
I've been told this is a 17th or 18th century Irish song. It was popular among American troops during the American Revolutionary War, and has been recorded in recent years by Pete Seeger, James Taylor, and many others, but the best version I've heard is the one on "The Revolutionary War." If anyone knows the name of the female vocalist - or where I could download an MP3 (even better), please post.

I think it is Jennifer Rose (Morning Will Come CD).
If you belong to ITunes you can go there and listen.
DO you know where I can purchase the DVD set of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION narrated by Charles Kuralt?
Thanks
