Editorial Reviews :
Country music reclaimed its traditional soul with the chart-topping triumph of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. This concert sequel, recorded (and filmed) at Nashville's venerable Ryman Auditorium, reunites Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss and Union Station, and other O Brother standouts. With little duplication, the selection extends the movie's revival of acoustic spirituals and Appalachian balladry, though the performances and pacing of the concert aren't quite as consistently compelling as the studio soundtrack. Among the highlights are a pair of originals by Welch and David Rawlings, the bluesy 'Dear Someone' and the Everlyesque 'I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll.' Where O Brother interspersed archival recordings among the contemporary artistry, the concert finds Nashville gospel's Fairfield Four harmonizing on the chain-gang chant of 'Po' Lazarus,' while the late John Hartford (in one of his final performances) renews the deadpan whimsy of 'Big Rock Candy Mountain.'
Buyer Reviews :
This is a cd of live performances by artists that appeared on the soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou?, which was widely successful. This is a must have, with live performances by Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Union Station, Gillian Welch, The Cox Family and more. This is another fine addition to your bluegrass collection, and I have to say its nice to see it coming to the forefront, it is truly beautiful music for the ears. If you liked O Brother Where Art Thou? then you will most likely want this if you don't already have it in your collection.
