| | | O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack CD | Includes a 24-page booklet with liner notes by Robert K. Oermann. O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? won the 2002 Grammy Awards for Album Of The Year and for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For A Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media. ... Full Description"O Death" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration With Vocals.
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  A little too twangy for me
I like some of the cuts on this, but there are a couple that are 'out there'. Also, the last two songs will not play on my stereo and I am not sure why. It stops at the 16th track. So, I haven't heard 17 or 18.

Even better than the movie itself
The movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou' was a great movie, but it was the bluegrass and Southern roots music that I loved more than anything. This soundtrack has all of the great songs that were included in the movie.
