Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
The best soundtracks are like movies for the ears, and IO Brother, Where Art Thou?/I joins the likes of ISaturday Night Fever/I and IThe Harder They Come/I 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. I--Don McLeese/I

5 out of 5 stars Good As New   October 24, 2008
Dr. John Champa (Dallas, Texas)
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.


5 out of 5 stars Cultural Revival   September 26, 2008
Damian P. Gadal (Santa Barbara, CA USA)
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. br / br /What better way could there be to reintroduce such wonderful music? At the moment I can't think of any. br / br /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. br / br /Even if you haven't seen the movie this soundtrack is worth getting.


5 out of 5 stars A great CD   September 15, 2008
Margie Miller
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.


4 out of 5 stars old time country songs   July 8, 2008
K. Topaz
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.
