Anyone heard "O Brother Where Art Thou?

I must say that this movie is soooo unrealistic. None of the grand dragons at the KKK rallies I attend can sing like that. Typical Hollywierd.

"Why is this music so great?" my wife asked as we were listening to this album today. She'd just been out at a guitar lesson learning a couple of the tunes.
This is honest music played and sung by the most talented and accomplished musicians in the genre. I would encourage anyone to try some of the other albums by the featured artists, or even better go and hear them live. I was blown away by an Alison Krauss & Union Station concert.
I'm a jazz musician and that style dominates much of my collection.
Good honest music regardless of style, genre, complexity or simplicty will speak to you.
