Anyone heard "O Brother Where Art Thou?

suburuguru: i think i have about every fairfield four disc of the last 10 years. their best is the first i bought: "standing in the safety zone" (WB 9 26945-2). two others that are fun: "i couldn't hear nobody pray" (WB 9 4668-2); "the fairfield four and friends, live from mountain stage" (blue plate special-402- available from ohboy.com- john prine's label). the group has been around in various iterations and numbers since the early 1920's! let me know if you, or any other a-goners, are interested in the various genre on o brother. i have several hundred of such recordings on cd and lp. they are what i listen to most. -kelly

sorry about the double post. thought i had "cleared" before reposting. guess not.

Saw a post recently describing the "hairs up on back of neck" reaction to music. I might describe it more as chills up and down my spine, but whatever it is, I got it when listening to Alison Kraus and First BAptist Church Choir. And that was in my noisy Jeep doing 75 mph!! I must admit to being a huge fan of hers since hearing her sing in a small venue in CT when she was still a teen. She did an a capella number that night with Union Station that just blew me away. Anyways, I'm not a religous guy at all but the harmonies, simple arrangements, and emotion in this kind of music strikes a chord in me.

Kelly, if you can recommend some other stuff like this, I'd be grateful. I have Cox Family/Allison Kraus CD and lots of other bluegrass/folk/roots stuff, but always looking for more in this vein.

Kelly...thanks! I happenned to be at Tower Records last week and saw "...Safety Zone" for $7.99 Mgr at Tower explained that they were having a big sale on all $12.99 mid-price before dropping prices on ALL Cds $2 soon! Hmm....
Must say that Safety Zone is great...but why is the first cut so bad sonically? Historical track added for interest?...
Just found a new copy of Red Dirt Girl on eBay for $8...can't wait to hear it.... Anyone recommend Alison Krause's best? Violins are so hard to get right....
