| | O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack CD (23 Customer Reviews)
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."

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.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No GREAT BLUEGRASS
I don't generally look for Bluegrass music or enjoy listening to it, but this is great! Maybe it's because the movie was incredibly enjoyable. The music is good, but it's also fun to listen to.

This CD is very fitting to the movie and I enjoy a lot of the songs on it. This CD should be a pretty good seller.
