Those kings of cinematic quirkiness, the Coen brothers, fashioned their film O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? as a contemporary adaption of Homer's Odyssey, centering around a group of American chain-gang prisoners. The film's earthy Southern setting makes it a natural for a bluegrass-oriented soundtrack, for which producer T-Bone Burnett picked the cream of the country crop.
"Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby," for example, is a summit meeting of some of the finest contemporary female country vocalists (Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, and Alison Krauss). The old school isn't forgotten either, as evidenced by a chilling a cappella rendering of "O Death," courtesy of Ralph Stanley, and by the closing cut, where the Stanley Brothers issue an elegant plea to heaven with "Angel Band."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great Movie/Great Music
I enjoy this type of music and am very pleased with my purchase of this CD which just arrived yesterday after an extremely long delay. It was worth the delay though and I am listening to the music as we speak. This type of music somehow soothes me and lets my mind wander to a time when the musicians were sitting around and putting this music together. It is a definate good CD and worth the money.
