T-Bone Burnett was invited to design collections of music. For this reason it was decided to record the soundtrack before filming. The soundtrack was conceived as a major component of the film, not merely as a background or support. The soundtrack was reissued on August 23, 2011, with 14 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.' With the exception of a few vintage tracks (such as Harry McClintock's 1928 single 'Big Rock Candy Mountain'), most tracks are modern recordings. The soundtrack, produced by T-Bone Burnett, uses bluegrass, country, gospel, blues, and folk music appropriate to the time period. The film is set in Mississippi during the Great Depression. O Brother, Where Art Thou? is the soundtrack album of music from the 2000 American film of the same name, written, directed and produced by the Coen Brothers and starring George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, and John Goodman. ![]() ![]() O Brother, Where Art Thou is easily the best Coen film to date as well as Clooney's best effort. George Clooney is magnificent as the grease haired Everett Ulysses McGill, a honest con on the run whose pompous linguistics and vocabulary are comical and endearing.
