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

Summary: Good As New
Comment: 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.

Summary: Cultural Revival
Comment: 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.

Summary: old time country songs
Comment: 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.
