O Brother, Where Art Grand? is the soundtrack album of music from the 2000 American motion picture of the same name, written, directed and produced past the Coen Brothers and starring George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, and John Goodman.

The moving picture is set in Mississippi during the Great Low. The soundtrack, produced past T-Bone Burnett, uses bluegrass, state, gospel, dejection, and Southern folk music appropriate to the time menstruation. With the exception of a few vintage tracks (such equally Harry McClintock's 1928 single "Large Stone Candy Mountain"), nearly tracks are modernistic recordings.

The soundtrack was reissued on August 23, 2011, with fourteen new tracks that were not included in the original album, "including 12 previously unreleased cuts from music producer T-Bone Burnett's O Brother sessions."^[1]

Evolution and sound [edit]

The soundtrack was conceived as a major component of the motion-picture show, not just every bit a background or support. For this reason it was decided to record the soundtrack earlier filming.^[ii] T-Os Burnett and Alan Larman were invited to design collections of music.^[iii]

Dirges and other macabre songs recurring in Appalachian music,^[4] such as "O Expiry", "Lonesome Valley", "Angel Ring", and "I Am Weary", appear in the moving picture as a contrast to the vivid, cheerful songs like "Keep On the Sunnyside" and "In the Highways". Ralph Stanley of The Stanley Brothers personally recorded the a cappella folk vocal "O Decease".^{[5] [6]}

"I Am a Homo of Abiding Sorrow" has five variations: two are used in the film, ane in the music video, and two in the album. Two of the variations feature the verses being sung back-to-back, and the other iii variations feature additional music between each verse.^[7] The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (lead vocal on "I Am a Human being of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Ring'due south Pat Enright.^[8]
