A fine collection of music from a simpler time December 5, 2004
Mando Picker (Burlington, VT)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
First off, this is not the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou? although it has different versions of songs which are also in the movie - "In The Jailhouse Now" and "Angel Band". Marketing hooks notwithstanding, this is a really strong album which will appeal to people who like roots music.
The performances are strong, especially bluegrass legend Peter Rowan's tracks - this guy was born to sing Woody Guthrie and "I Ain't Got No Home" is a real standout. His version of the Carter Family's "No Depression in Heaven" is also excellent. Former Hot Rize singer Tim O'Brien delivers two tracks which he sings with ease and soul.
Other artist standouts include Merle Travis' "Cocaine Blues" and Mac Wiseman who lends his sweet voice to "Jimmy Brown the Newsboy" and "May I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister".
This collection is perfect for those folks who first experienced the magic of bluegrass and American folk traditions through the O Brother movie and want to expand their knowledge of this democratic art form. Also, long-time fans will appreciate these new versions of familiar songs.
