Description:
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
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. "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.
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
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."

    Fun CD

    Manisha from California, Oct 22, 2007

    Though I was hesitant to see it, I really enjoyed the movie. I am not a blue grass fan but these songs are amazing. I would occasionaly listen over YouTube and finally decided to buy the CD.

    O Brother ,Where Art Thou? Soundtrack

    luciebly from Upstate, New York, Oct 6, 2007

    A wonderful CD full of bluegrass type music. I listen to it in the car and it works wonders in traffic. My granddaughter of 1 year old, dances to it in her car seat. A must have.
