Kossoy Sisters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Kossoy Sisters are an American folk and old time music act based around the identical twin sisters Irene Saleton and Ellen Christenson[1]. When they were seventeen, the New York born sisters recorded the album Bowling Green which features the sisters' close harmonies and accompaniment by Erik Darling[2]. The duo were introduced to a new audience when their version of "I'll Fly Away" was used in the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
