Editorial/Description:Amazon.com's Best of 2001: 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. --Don McLeese

Customer Reviews:
I Love This Soundtrack But.......
January 6, 2009
You need to take a chill pill dude! 5 negetive and mean spirited comments to other people who hate this soundtrack for 1 reason or another is a bit much! They have as much of a right to post as well as you do! The day that Amazon stops allowing idiots the right to review will be the day I stop surfing Amazon!
By the way, I have the DVD and the Soundtrack and I love them!
Good As New
October 24, 2008
Bought this CD as USED but it looks and sounds as good as new. This music is haunting, beautiful, or charming...depending on the specific tune. This is really pre-country / bluegrass classical folk stuff. You will either understand its origins and love it, or think it is stupid.
Cultural Revival
September 26, 2008
This soundtrack is nothing short of a cultural revival. If it took a wonderful movie and its soundtrack to bring this music back to the forefront and garner the attention it received and deserves, so be it.
What better way could there be to reintroduce such wonderful music? At the moment I can't think of any.
Like many have said before there's not a bad track. This soundtrack is full of surprises and rich nuances that make it a joy to listen to over and over again.
Even if you haven't seen the movie this soundtrack is worth getting.
A great CD
September 15, 2008
We love the music on this Cd and also loved the DVD which we had purchased earlier. I would recommend the CD to anyone who enjoys the music on the DVD.
old time country songs
July 8, 2008
If you have seen the movie, then you know the music is great! This a fun CD to put in when your driving around with the top down on your convertible or riding in your jeep/old bronco. Parts of the movie come to mind when you hear the songs. Keeps you smiling.
