O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Audio CD)
by Various Artists - Soundtrack

(519 customer reviews)

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

Great movie, great soundtrack. Nov 22, 2009
I thoroughly loved the movie so I bought the sound track. Too much to explain if you haven't seen the movie. Every track brings back vivid memories. Especially love the one with the "Sirens".

The Songs Will Haunt You in a Good Way Oct 09, 2009
This is a wonderful soundtrack. Many of the songs focus on death and dying, albeit sweetly and harmoniously.

The movie was GOOD; this soundtrack is STELLAR Sep 27, 2009
I reviewed the movie itself and gave it three and a half stars, but the soundtrack gets all five!

Some people have jokingly wondered if the Coen Brothers simply loved mountain music and found a way to fit a movie around it!

Anyway the CD comes with a really nice booklet, including extensive liner notes placing the music into the historical context of both the Depression-era South as well as that of Homer's Odyssey.

a great cd Jun 05, 2009
i've been really enjoying this cd--i've wanted it since the movie came out and finally bought myself one. i love both the vocal and the instrumental parts of the album--a rich mix of layered complexity and rough simplicity that manages to work together all the way thru. it's fantastic!

so unique and different May 21, 2009
My husband and I both love this CD. It is so unique and different with wonderful harmonies by wonderful voices. I didn't even know that the female voices I was listening to belonged to Allison Krauss and Emily Lou Harris until weeks later.
