I love their signature song.

The best part of that movie was Alison Krauss on the sound track.
She sings like an angel. Plays a mean fiddle too.

I like the guy and some of his movies. I try to separate politics and entertainment otherwise I would barely tolerate myself let alone anyone else
Ditto for me on the soundtrack. I don't care for country or bluegrass, but I don't think there's a song from that movie that I don't like. Especially "Man Of Constant Sorrow", the Soggy Bottom Boys big hit. Good Stuff!

The chain gang song at the begining "Po Lazarus" was a real chain gang singing from the 1950's recorded by a music historian. Amazing story:
In 1959, an amateur singer named James Carter was an inmate in camp B of the Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, Mississippi. He and the others in his chain gang were chopping wood while singing when folk music historian Alan Lomax met them and decided to record the group.
Carter, credited as the soloist, and the rest of the chain gang, sang an old spiritual song, “Po’ Lazarus,” to the timing of their log cutting. The recording was purchased by the Coen Brothers for their film, which eventually went on to win a Grammy. The Coen Brothers decided to track down Carter, and he was paid $20,000.
I love redemption stories.

All great, but you missed the masterpiece--True Grit.

Well isn't this place a geographical oddity? It's 2 weeks from everywhere.....
Favorite movie line of all time.

Nothing beats choreographed dancing klansmen squashed by a burning cross. Btw, given his family heritage it must have been an embarrassment to George to have to have his singing voice dubbed.

One of my favorites:
Tommy Johnson: I had to be up at that there crossroads last midnight, to sell my soul to the devil.
Everett: Well, ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar just been baptized and saved. I guess I'm the only one that remains unaffiliated.
The history is also a little iffy, George, not babyface had already been dead for 3 years.
