produced By 12-time Grammy® Award- And Academy Award-winner T Bone Burnett, The Original O Brother, Where Art Thou? Soundtrack From The 2000 Film--written, Directed And Produced By The Coen Brothers And Starring George Clooney--shot To No.1 On The Billboard Top 200 And Country Charts And Became A Bona Fide Music Phenomenon, Despite Scant Radio Airplay. Along With Album Of The Year Honors, The Album Won Grammys® For "i Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow" Performed By Dan Tyminski, Harley Allen And Pat Enright, And "o Death" By The Legendary Dr. Ralph Stanley.

The Second Disc Of The O Brother, Where Art Thou? - Deluxe Edition Features Artists Who Appeared On The Original Album (john Hartford, Norman Blake, The Fairfield Four, The Cox Family And The Peasall Sisters) Plus Some Who Did Not (colin Linden, Alan O'bryant, Ed Lewis And Van Dyke Parks). The Disc's Previously Recorded Tracks Are "tom Devil" By Ed Lewis And The Prisoners, And "i'll Fly Away" By The Kossoy Sisters.

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
