The best soundtracks are like movies for the ears, and
O Brother, Where Art Thou? joins the likes of
Saturday Night Fever and
The Harder They Come as cinematic pinnacles of song. The music from the Coen brothers' Depression-era film taps into the source from which the purest strains of country, blues, bluegrass, folk, and gospel music flow. Producer T Bone Burnett enlists the voices of Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, Emmylou Harris, Ralph Stanley, and kindred spirits for performances of traditional material, in arrangements that are either a cappella or feature bare-bones accompaniment. Highlights range from the aching purity of Krauss's "Down to the River to Pray" to the plainspoken faith of the Whites' "Keep on the Sunny Side" to Stanley's chillingly plaintive "O Death." The album's spiritual centerpiece finds Krauss, Welch, and Harris harmonizing on "Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby," a gospel lullaby that sounds like a chorus of Appalachian angels.

| I very much enjoyed this movie and the music in it. Normally I don't buy soundtrack albums as I'd rather just buy the artist's original albums, but most of my favorite songs from this movie were done just for the movie and not available elsewhere. Down In The River To Pray is just hauntingly beautiful. My other favorite song here is I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow, of which there are two renditions on the album. Both are excellent. Nearly everything else on the album is enjoyable as well. If you enjoyed the movie you'll love this album. |
