So allow me to wax nostalgic, as it was ten years ago that the O Brother phenom occurred. The movie, the soundtrack, the galvanization around the roots music presented within, the race to the top of the charts, the sales story, and arguably, a whole new generation of artists coming to the fore by the seeds that were planted with its success. It has been a hell of a ten years, and to mark the occasion, there is a new double-disc commemorative O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack album out, with bonus tracks, of course. No Depression did a listener generated comprehensive interview with maestro T Bone Burnett, who became a brand himself through this and his other landmark efforts that have followed over this last decade.
When the Coen brothers' film O Brother, Where Art Thou? was released in 2001, Americana music was redefined through the legendary soundtrack that featured songs like "Man of Constant Sorrow." Now, to commemorate the 10 year anniversary of the film and soundtrack, the Soggy Bottom Boys return with a music video for "In the Jailhouse Now." And everything old is new again.
