The Wayfaring Stranger (Asch 345) is an album consisting of three 10-inch records by Burl Ives. It was released in 1944, but it should not be confused with The Wayfaring Stranger (Columbia C-103), which was also released in 1944 but contains different songs. The Asch album includes the first releases of two signature songs by Ives: "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" and "The Blue Tail Fly."
