In the wake of the Coen Brothers movie ‘Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?’, American roots music has been enjoying a much-deserved renaissance. Though ‘American roots’ may be a broad, catch-all term--including as it does blues, gospel, work songs, early country music, bluegrass and protest song—it, nonetheless, easily identifies all the many grassroots musical forms that continue to thrive just out of sight of the mass media (and it’s current preoccupations). Some of the songs here—‘I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow’, ‘Big Rock Candy Mountain’, ‘Keep On The Sunny Side’ and ‘In The Jailhouse Now’—were among those included in ‘Oh Brother’ but they represent only a fraction of the fine music assembled for this collection. Beyond this album, there are thousands more recordings and performing artists, whose work awaits discovery by the musically curious.
