O' Brother Where Art Thou - Interview (Part 2)

[@bebl]

This Movie did get me in to bluegrass. Here in Austria i never heard something like that on the Radio. I very much love it now.

Amazing that this song (Man Of Constant Sorrow) enjoyed such revival - such attention. It's an old, old song. My family of Folksingers was performing that song in the 1960s - and it was an old song, THEN.

[@chrisdavenport7913]

Good music is good music no matter where or when is made.

[@PanyingPilot]

No fuzz box, no reverb, no aural exciter, just human potential at it's best. Makes a person proud to be one of the species.

[@ronj9448]

nothing wrong with reverb, you get it naturally performing in a church.

[@RustyRogers]

...no autotune, no overdubs, no punch-ins, just actual talent.

[@erniemiller1953]

There are very few movies that are 20 years old that still get me to stop and watch whenever it is on...I've lost count of how many times, I've seen it, but I know each second of it by heart.

[@vrea77]

My wife hates when I watch Oh Brother Where Art Thou, Forrest Gump and Castaway she thinks they're dumb movies I watch any one of those movies when they come out on TV

[@davidswanson5669]

It’s the first movie I bought using iTunes when I got an iPod nano, and it was the only movie I had in digital format like that for many years, and so for over a decade when I worked late at night on art projects I’d play that movie because it’s a masterpiece. I’ve probably seen/heard the film hundreds of times now.

[@vrea77]

Well at least I know when one of those movies come on you'll be watching it with me maybe on a different Channel but will be there. Hope you have a great year.

[@Silverhornet81]

Gives me the chills listening to the songs.

[@christopherchadwick2659]

Absolutely beautiful singing. I never get tired of watching this movie, but I wish they'd release it on iTunes so I could play it to get me to sleep.

[@taejadonado]

One of my FAVORITE songs. Transforms me into that time

[@pseudopetrus]

I loved that movie and the music and singing was a large part of it!

[@dougrobinson5830]

Never gets old.

[@moparfreak1969]

In grove city ohio. In 2001 the Karaoke lady at a local bar purchased the first karaoke version of A man of constant sorrow. She told me i was the first person to sing it karaoke. I am blessed to know that now because i didn't realize that movie or the song would go on to be as famous as it was.

[@harrytuttle8161]

I thought it was Clooney singing . very convincing .

[@f1fnatik]

My wife and I absolutely love this movie and the music is quite simply the best part of it (and that is saying a lot)!

[@hartzogLovesScience]

That key song was why I bought the CD, truly amazing

[@gregb8759]

One of my favorite movies and soundtrack!!

[@ryanrhodes5819]

This is special! Good kind feels yeah.

[@andywood5699]

Loved the movie and loved the soundtrack. I had to have them both.

[@boxmanatee]

I remember getting all those songs off limewire when I first saw this movie as a kid.

[@skymaster9484]

Forgot all about limewire.

[@mdog86]

I was more of a kazaa kid. And yes, it gave my mom's computer a virus, and yes she was super angry at me lmao

[@edwardrichard2561]

This movie really exposed me to ole timey music. Of course I heard it before but after watching it I just had to know what the name of the songs and find that tabs so I could learn it. Then I found Younder Mountain String band and the rest was history. I'm a bluegrass junkie now.

[@torreyintahoe]

Beautiful voices all the way around

[@Chip-Chapley]

Fun fact, "man of constant sorrow" was originally named "farewell song" and was written by a blind fiddler named Dick Burnett in 1907. The fact people loved it would have made him happy.

[@ronj9448]

Yeah everyone knows this.

[@amandagardner565]

thank you chip, this Australian didn't know that

[@Chip-Chapley]

@@amandagardner565 awe, your welcome.

Got recommended from a KZbinr I watched and ended up really enjoying this!

[@torreyintahoe]

My third favorite of their movies behind no country and raising AZ.

[@achak74]

It sure is a hit! A hit worldwide

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

Nice to know Dan is from Vermont and a fellow native Vermonter. Thanks all

[@christophertaylor9100]

I had always liked bluegrass without really even knowing what it was, but this movie locked me into a life long love of it.

[@MusicMan3]

Best movie score ever.

[@1980anchia]

this movie remember time my scape from my house..... whit 14 years old live alone in the street, i see this movie, i crying, feel alone.

[@xgi36]

I hope you are safe now and have someone to share your life and feel secure, good luck in the future.

[@WhatILoveAboutMusic64]

You were a young man of constant sorrow, I hope things are going well for you now.

[@stillstormie7222]

Thank you for sharing your memory...this quarantine got to me tonight & I was feeling sad & alone. You reminded me that we have all been there & that I have a roof over my head - it could always be worse... I hope you are well & much love ✌😙💨💞

[@mikewalton5469]

great stuff, awesome soundtrack

[@birdwife589]

damn, we’re in a tight spot!

[@erikkaye1114]

A question I always have is, how much of this movie was inspired by the 3-disk vinyl record, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken?" There are more than a few songs on the record in this movie.

[@k-matsu]

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album has no direct relationship to the movie. However Mother Maybelle Carter (along with Doc Watson and several members of the Carter family) did sing "Keep on the Sunny Side" on that album. Pretty sure that is the only song that features in both.

[@eb311235]

Make a joyful noise before lord.

[@jeffforbess6802]

This would make a great tour. Ryman!

[@civlwrbuf]

Look for documentary Down From The Mountain where they did exactly that and filmed part of the concert done at the Ryman

[@NHL4740]

"'O' Brother Where Art Thou" before the Mandela Effect: "O Brother Where Art Thou".

[@Coinsfireworksgold]

Hey that's Ricky skaggs' wife. I like that style of music. And I like bluegrass

[@ElMadmarktigan]

The OVS of this movie was the last CD ive ever bought

[@Walkeranz]

Musical instruments and no pitch correction (auto tune). Legit

[@jerrybobteasdale]

The song was NOT a "freak hit." It was plain evidence that the overly polished, autotuned music being pushed on the market is less appealing. They're subtracting out the humanity. And shared humanity is the essential pull of music.

[@deborahchapman222]

That is how they used to do it in the old days. One and done…😎

[@civlwrbuf]

What sad for me is as a fan of John Hartford who was involved with the soundtrack and dreamed of being involved with project like this, died shortly thereafter in June of 2001, and never got see its full impact.

[@ronj9448]

John Hartford did so much with Newgrass and more that he would blush with one more feather in his cap

[@alistaircornacchio5727]

I’m sure he’s watched it all unfold from heaven

I saw the Whites years ago. Superficially, I thought Ricky Skaggs married the wrong sister. I was wrong. Again, superficially.

[@harbingersev-oh-wohne]

What do you mean

[@YABBAHEY1]

@@harbingersev-oh-wohne Just that country music is more rock or club now as opposed to blue grass where it originated, my tastes tend to the latter

[@georgefournier4305]

watched these wonderful sisters many times and can't figure for the life of me which one sings which part......who sings highest part? lowest?

[@privatename1184]

Do a search on KZbin for the sisters, their first video was from when they were REALLY young..they truly have been AMAZING over the years.

"It was a "Freak Hit", Im sorry, you are out of touch with the fan base, I do not mean to sound hypercritical but if you can not recognize this union between Nashville and NYC is a disaster with the fans you do not belong directing what we hear in music. People want the old time music they grew up with, was clean and moral. NOT this garbage the collaboration between sin city and the so called "New South" is pushing down our throats. We want Dolly and Porter, Loretta and Conway...Not a trish stratus wanna be with carry underware I mean underwood...The Peasall Sisters were a GREAT choice as well as the rest of the groups that were featured in the movie...if you could only get it through your head, new country SUCKS...it has its place but it SUCKS!!!

[@seltonk5136]

Private Name you’ve just described the exact conditions that make it a freak hit, ya turkey. Anything quality that emerges on the radio cesspool is a complete outlier, and it gets worse by the minute.

[@aaronleverton4221]

If people wanted the old time music they grew up with then Ariana Grande, the Weeknd and Post Malone wouldn't be topping the charts and feuds between Drake and whoever wouldn't be international news. Fact is music tastes change. Unfortunately, you complaining about the young people of today not knowing what real music is just makes you the same as your grandparents complaining about your parents listening to the Devil's music. That said, if it doesn't have guitars, drums and possibly a piano in it then I don't want to hear outside of the dancefloor.

[@Neion8]

@@aaronleverton4221 Mate when you realise how much control the music industry has over the way people discover new music you'd realise why the artists you mentioned are famous - everything from search engine results, suggestion algorithms and suggested playlists on the vast majority of platforms (e.g. KZbin, Spotify etc) to suggested advertisements and film scores are influenced by the music industry run by the big three (Sony BMG, Universal music group and Warner music group) and their proxies. Ofc, as much as you can lay at the feet of these corperations, they are still made up of people so the occasional gem like this slips through, but that's the exception not the rule. Modern music follows the same rules as all modern consumerism; they make a product for cheap and then they make you like it through brainwa-sorry-'advertising.' Also, even the artists you mentioned still play and enjoy some decent music when they aren't slaving for the corps, here's one example for ya: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZaylox9d6Znb9U&ab_channel=ViralTwitch it's just most of the really 'successful' ones have ghostwriters (often sharing ghostwriters) and all go to the same corperate-owned studios, so the industry can suck as much money out of the artists as possible. A consequence of which is that they end up sounding quite similar.

[@aaronleverton4221]

@@Neion8 Yeah, I've never worked in the entertainment industry, please, lecture me some more.

[@yommish]

@@Neion8 the music industry has one agenda-make money by producing music that people like. People have always said the sky is falling and the old ways were better, but culture keeps on changing. That’s life
