Release Infomation

I can't count the number of people who asked me to rip this

THE ultimate american roots music collection...  an

incredible collection of old-time southern soul tunes.

A refashioning of Homer's Odyssey as a Depression-era Deep

South comedy, the George Clooney/Coen Brothers' farce, O

Brother, Where Art Thou?, features some of the finest

bluegrass and old-school twang to be assembled in one place

in recent memory. Put together by a team that includes

production maestro T-Bone Burnett and singer Gillian Welch,

O Brother is carefully -- almost encyclopedically --

compiled, with an emphasis on the sort of gospel-like,

acoustic-and-harmony-reliant country once popularized by the

Carter Family and other such groups.

Most of the tracks here are old songs almost lovingly redone

by relative youngsters, including Alison Krauss (whose "Down

in the River to Pray" is a highlight) and Gillian Welch (who

team up with Krauss and Emmylou Harris on the equally fine

"Didn't Leave Nobody but the Baby").

Also included here are several contributions from the Soggy

Bottom Boys, the group fronted by George Clooney in the film

(though Union Station's Dan Tyminski serves as a musical

stand-in for Clooney; this is likely just as well), who

perform, among other songs, "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow,"

and acquit themselves admirably. (For some reason, the disc

also features former Clinch Mountain Boy Ralph Stanley

performing this track, which he popularized.)

--Allisaon Stewart--

highlights for me are "I'll Fly Away", "In the Jailhouse

Now" and "You Are My Sunshine".

greets to all my eGo boys!
