Although I thought the movie was one of their weaker efforts (its still a great film); O Brother Where Art Thou has the best sound track I've heard in years! If you are interested in mountain music, delta blues, gospel, chain gang chants and bluegrass this is a CD for you. Simply amazing and a lot of fun! I have a feeling that this CD is not going to leave my player for a long time! ------------------ Everything you do, effects everything that is.
mc mark: If you like the bluegrass stuff, I strongly urge you to listen to Houston's listener sponsored radio station, KPFT on Saturday afternoons between 3pm and 6pm EST. You can listen online at http://www.kpft.org . Between 3 and 6 on Saturdays, they have a bluegrass show called Pickin' and Swingin' that is straight bluegrass and western swing. The guy who hosts the show knows a LOT about bluegrass and he even gives lists (via email) of his best bluegrass albums of the year. Really great stuff. ------------------ Me fail English? That's unpossible.
Wow that soundtrack is outstanding, I just downloaded the whole thing off napster! thanks for the heads up.... ------------------
I really enjoyed that movie. The music is what really gave it character. ------------------ "Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning how to put food on their family while being put to death."
I love the soundtrack. I've had it about a weeks and I think it is really awesome. On another note, I got my brother a DVD for Christmas that is the history of bluegrass. It is a documentary and he loves it. I ordered it from amazon if you are interested. ------------------ Be nice to the newbie!
Jeff, Yes, I know all about KPFT, although I don't remember if it was the same program; I remember a Saturday morning program in the late 80s early 90s. But I remember KPFT having a great show. If memory serves correctly KTRU used to have a great Bluegrass program. Ty are you gonna go buy the CD? Ali, what’s the name the DVD that you bought? ------------------ Everything you do, effects everything that is.
The Coen brothers have a great knack for soundtracks in their movies. They almost always have very strange, unusual type songs that always accentuate the on screen action. I loved The Big Lebowski, and it was very similar in that respect. ------------------ "Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one's watching."
Good Morning Rocket Fans! RR what's really cool about the Coen Brothers is that they almost always pick the music for their movies first to use as inspiration during writing, and pre-production. Before they shoot a frame of film, they already have a musical backdrop to work with. I don't know to many other directors that do that. Usually the music is the last thing added to a film. ------------------ Everything you do, effects everything that is.
