Product description

Amazon.co.uk

Joel and Ethan Coen have long established themselves as film stylists without peer: from Blood Simple to Fargo, their movies have never been less than fascinating, and there has never been any question that their films could not have been made by anyone else. In T-Bone Burnett, the producer of the soundtrack for O Brother, Where Art Thou?, they have finally met their match: Burnett's work in assembling a collection of pieces for the Depression-set film is as skilled and entrancing as the film itself.

Despite the presence of Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss and bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley, the stars here are the songs themselves, a host of traditional songs augmented by archival recordings. The collection is also a showcase for a host of lesser known and forgotten bluegrass masters: The Cox Family, collaborators with Krauss; Norman Blake, a sideman for Bob Dylan and June Carter Cash; country gospel group The Whites, who once counted Ricky Skaggs as a member (and who, here, cover the Carter Family); and young bluesman Chris Thomas King among them. All bring life to their songs, and the results are sublime--and, at times (Krauss and a choir's take on "Down To The River to Pray", Blake's instrumental version of the oft-repeated "I Am A Man of Constant Sorrow"), downright entrancing.

Some of these songs can be found on Alan Lomax collections. If you enjoy this album, we also highly recommend the Harry Smith Anthology of American Folk Music and Woody Guthrie's Asch Recordings series. --Randy Silver

Music from the film - both really excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 March 2012

Verified Purchase

The film "O Brother where art thou?" was really quite superb. Part of its appeal was the music; a selection of 'old-time' ballads from the USA of the period of the Great Depression. This album contains some of the more popular tunes from the film and they are a mixture of Country & Bluegrass with a smattering of Blues & Religion thrown into the mix.

Most of the music is from the 20s and 30s although they are more modern recordings of the various songs. The tracks were recorded in such a way as to make them seem authentic for the time, and give them the 'feel' of the period. This really appealed to me, although I can see that some others might not find it so enjoyable.

If you like Country music, you will probably recognise some of the artists, and you will almost certainly enjoy this album. Even if you are not a C & W fan, you may well still enjoy it.

Great music, let done by cheap presentation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 March 2016

Verified Purchase

The music content was absolutely fine. Great soundtrack and highly recommend if you like that sort of music.

However, my gripe is with the physical albums itself. There are 2 LPs and as such you would think they would come in a double sleeved jacket (one LP each)....but no. This goes beyond cheapness. Both LPs are sandwiched into 1 sleeve. One of the reasons (and there are many) people buy vinyl is because you usually get good quality jackets to house and protect the LPs.

Disappointed with my favourite song (il fly away-kossoy sisters) not on track list

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 December 2020

Verified Purchase

I dont understand why the original song 'kossoy sisters - i'll fly away' the one played in the film (my favourite song) wasn't on the vinyl I purchased, it was a different version sang by someone else (Very disappointed with that!! Apart from this disappointment, the vinyl plays very well with all the other songs

TRACKS TITLES ALL WITH WRONG SONGS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2012

Verified Purchase

I do not know if my CD was a 'one off' but when I played my CD on my computer the track titles were all wrong. All but two of the tracks had the wrong titles and singers accredited to them. Also my CD came unwrapped eg without the cellophane sleeve, leaving me to wonder if it had not already been returned once. That said the songs are excellent and most of them are the tracks from the original film. (My order was from Amazon and was not a second hand option, I brought a 'new' eg unused one).
