O Brother, Where Art Thou? CD
, November 8, 2001Reviewer: shoshone56 - See all shoshone56's reviews2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this O Brother, Where Art Thou? review helpful The song from this CD, "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow", is a soul-stirring song. The words alone are thought-provoking, but the song's tune takes you on a musical story up & down valleys. On this CD, there are two versions of this song. One is more has more instruments & additional singers, but are both great. They bring back that old time country sound. A lot of complex harmony and delicate melodies. They use a lot of madoline, guitar, and fiddle which really makes up country of a by-passed era. ... -
Music Like it Ought to be
, September 17, 2001Reviewer: JasonHomey - See all JasonHomey's reviews1 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this O Brother, Where Art Thou? review helpful The best thing for me about this album is that people are finally learning about one of the greatest musicians of our time-Alison Krause. She has been around for almost 15 years now, but stays in the background doing incredible music. Now that she is one of the featured artists on an album that is selling, maybe more people will realize what I have known for years, no ones voice or music compares. Her voice is that of an angels and the music matches that lofty voice. Other great unknown bluegrass musicians contribute as well like Lilian Welch in a duet with Alison. This CD, without the assistance of any radio play in any format is proving that great music can still sell. ...

Pro Reviews: O Brother, Where Art Thou?
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews The critical consensus at the end of 2000 was that it had been one of the weakest film years in recent memory. Which may have been true, despite O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the Coen brothers' delightfully warm and weird Depression-era re-telling of Homer's -Odyssey. But for music lovers, 2000 was an amazing year at the movies, and it produced several excellent soundtrack compilations including Almost Famous, Dancer in the Dark, Wonder Boys, and High Fidelity. Even with such steep competition, the soundtrack album for O Brother, Where Art Thou? may be the best of the year. In order to capture the sound of Mississippi circa 1932, the Coens commissioned T-Bone Burnett, a masterful producer whose work with artists like Elvis Costello, Sam Phillips, Joseph Arthur, and Counting Crows has earned him a special place in the folk-rock hall of fame, to research and re-create the country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, and blues of the era. The Coens were so taken with Burnett's discoveries that the film became a unique sort of musical revue. There are no original compositions here (though Burnett is given a "music by" credit usually reserved for composers), and the characters do not generally break into stylized song and dance numbers (as they do in, say, Everyone Says I Love You). But nearly every scene in O Brother is set to a period song, and the music frequently drives and defines the action. With two exceptions -- a stunning 1955 Alan Lomax recording of a black prison chain gang singing "Po Lazarus", and Harry McClintock's "Big Rock Candy Mountain" -- every song was recorded for the film by an impressive assembly of old-time country veterans (Fairfield Four, Ralph Stanley, the Whites) and talented newcomers (Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris). These recordings, which were made without the meddling clarity of digital technology, give the film much of its power and authenticity. A significant segment of the plot hinges on the (utterly plausible) notion that Dan Tyminksi's ebullient rendition of "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" could be a runaway hit. A memorable sequence involving three riverside sirens centers around an eerie version of "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby." And Stanley's a cappella performance of "O Death" sets a chilling tone for a climactic struggle at a Ku Klux Klan rally. Throughout, Burnett's steady guiding hand is evident. This soundtrack is a powerful tribute not only to the time-honored but commercially ignored genres of bluegrass and mountain music but also to Burnett's remarkable skills as a producer. - Evan Cater, All Music Guide |
