5.0 out of 5 stars 'Oh' with an h - not the movie soundtrack!, December 11, 2001

I got this album as a gift from a friend who purchased it for me knowing I liked the music in the movie, 'O Brother where are thou.' My friend obviously didn't realize this wasn't the movie soundtrack. But that said, this is a wonderful album, worth listening to on its own merits. Bright, catchy melodies with lyrics that make you think.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my absolute faves, July 20, 2001

This review is from: Oh Brother Where Art Thou? (Audio CD)

I have had this CD for... I think 6 years now; and it has rarely left my playing rotation. Bright, uptempo and sunny bossa-pop, skiffling from ska to Jazz Butcher and "Eden"-era Everything But The Girl with a sarcastic-adenoidal male lounge singer and the absolutely dreamiest female singer (dreamy, as in overdosed on honey-lemon Vicks coughdrops dreamy). A couple songs catch you off-guard in their melancholy; on reflection, the whole album is infused with a kind of nostalgia and regret. This takes reflection, though, which doesn't happen when listening to the album, you're too busy snapping your fingers and smiling. La di da.

I know this guy must be swelling with $ and pride over the naming of this worthy recording. I, too, found this while my friend was looking for the soundtrack for the nice movie. So, I stumbled on it on my hard drive, and I really like it. I like it better than the Grammy Award winning soundtrack. That has qualities too. But I have been listening to Big Lazy, Yo La Tengo,Januaries, and some Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks,some acoustic Bossa Nova, so this fit right in. I LIKE it.
