| | I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow CD I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow Discography of CDs
Though it was obviously released simply to capitalize on the resurgence of interest in old-timey music occasioned by the success of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the 20-track collection I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow is an amazing, practically faultless compilation. Virtually every song here is a classic, whether for fans of old-timey, country, early blues, or gospel. Of the two tracks with the most interest for O Brother fans, only Harry McClintock's "Big Rock Candy Mountain" is the version heard in the movie, though the other -- the title track sung by the Stanley Brothers -- is the original on which the movie version was based (it betters the performance, if not the sound quality). Also of direct interest are "Keep on the Sunny Side" by the Carter Family, "In the Jailhouse Now" by Jimmie Rodgers, and "You Are My Sunshine" by Jimmie Davis (the last an early country star and later governor of Tennessee). Though few other inclusions have a connection to the movie, I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow succeeds on its mission of surrounding the events of the movie with a range of excellent roots music: hot fiddle music from Hoyt Ming & His Pep-Steppers, Bill Monroe, and Fiddlin' Sam Long, apocalyptic blues from Blind Willie Johnson, Skip James, and Dock Boggs, a rollicking banjo tune by Uncle Dave Macon, Louis Armstrong and Bessie Smith's historic collaboration on the classic "St. Louis Blues," and one of the seminal gospel sides of all time: "Golden Gate Gospel Train" by the Golden Gate Quartet. It may be hard to find -- the label, Country Stars, is based in the Netherlands, though it is heavily distributed elsewhere -- and the songs are available elsewhere, but few collections bring so many important songs together onto one disc. ~ John Bush

I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow
$7.59   
MOUNTAIN SOUL was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.
A 180-degree departure from contemporary commercial country music, album number six from the always dynamic Loveless is like a breath of fresh air on a steamy summer afternoon. Mountain Soul is a rare and brilliant acoustic 14-track album of bluegrass mountain music. Amidst the mandolins, fiddles, and banjos is Loveless' harking alto voice, singing from her soul to the music she grew up with. Just when you thought the days of Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, and the Stanley Brothers were gone, Loveless brings them back with new life and staggering grace. Rounding out this ubiquitous collection are soft-singing collaborators Travis Tritt, Ricky Skaggs, and Rebecca Lynn Howard. ~ Maria Konicki Dinoia

I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow
 $11.19
After plugging in at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, Bob Dylan's break with the folk scene was complete. The ensuing sonic assault caused pandemonium among the crowd, including an apoplectic Pete Seeger, and ruptured Dylan's standing among many of his longtime fans. This collection of Dylan's performances at the festival, taken over three years and filled with plenty of never-before-seen footage, charts his rapid evolution as an artist. Beginning in 1963, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MIRROR captures Dylan playing the folk and protest songs that endeared him to so many of his generation--including "Only A Pawn In Their Game," "Chimes of Freedom," and "It Ain't Me, Babe" (with Joan Baez)--before he turned toward a more abstract songwriting style, coupled with a forceful rock 'n' roll sound, that climaxed in a frenetic, electrified performance of "Maggie's Farm," and "Like a Rolling Stone" ...

I'm A Man Of Constant Sorrow
$20.29
Cowboy singer Carl T. Sprague can be credited -- or blamed -- for the fact that the Western wardrobe became a mainstay of singing horsemen and later of country music performers. When he embarked on his career in 1925, inspired by Vernon Dalhart's recording of "The Prisoner's Song," no one combined cowboy hats, boots, and spurs with their stage act. In fact, no one exclusively sang cowboy songs. When Sprague had a national hit with "When the Work's All Done This Fall," he introduced Americans to the cowboy and the songs he sung beneath the prairie moon. It didn't hurt that he had grown up in Texas, been on real cattle drives before attending Texas A&M, and learned the old songs from his Uncle Booth. Cowtrails, Longhorns, and Tight Saddles documents Sprague's early recordings between 1925-1929. The charm of these recordings is their off-the-cuff manner. Sprague's no smooth crooner like Gene Autry, which leaves the listener with a snapshot of cowboy music before commercial embellishments overwhelmed the spare style. A number of songs feature no more than Sprague's guitar and vocals ("Kisses" ...
