Search recordings by title and artist (<code>/ws/2/recording?query=recording:"…" AND artist:"…"</code>), then fetch the release with <code>inc=artist-rels+recording-level-rels+url-rels</code>. It finds every version, including ones credited to a group (The Tony Rice Unit, or Garcia/Grisman/Rice). Weakness: most instrument credits sit on the release, not on the track, so they don't prove who plays on any one song. <code>url-rels</code> gives the matching Discogs ID. [[Fair Weather (Alison Brown album)]] takes its ensemble from MusicBrainz.

			: <code>api.discogs.com/releases/<id></code> works without a key. It has credits and the release notes, which often transcribe recording dates and studios from the liner notes. Its credits are also mostly release-wide ("tracks: all"). Used to cross-check MusicBrainz on Tony Rice's two recordings of "House of the Rising Sun", October 26, 2026.
