Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com's Best of 2001
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

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.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent   May 31, 2008
C. Washington (New York, NY)
Definitely one of the best Coen brothers movies and one of the best albums I have heard in a long time. From start to finish it is an amazing work of art. Just listen to Ralph Stanley's haunting "O Death" and you'll understand the power of this soundtrack. I wasn't a fan of bluegrass before listening to this album and now I love it. An awesome collection of music that doesn't have a single dud in the entire album.


1 out of 5 stars SD CD   May 20, 2008

There was no explanation what a SD CD was. Be careful if ordering from this seller. No one can listen to the CD without a specific SD CD player which isn't even sold anywhere. Seller also asked me to pull my bad feedback and offered me a gift certificate if I gave good feedback. Very tacky!

I don't have anything to add to everyone else's rave reviews but my review is here simply because it deserves my 5 stars. Fantastic soundtrack.
