Another soundtrack? That's only two out of one hundred records, and surely you'll allow O Brother, Where Art Thou? as it went way beyond a typical soundtrack. It was actually more popular than the amazing movie that inspired it. It also spawned a separate tour, featuring artists from the soundtrack as well as other like minded musicians. I think it is safe to say that this record single handedly brought back old time music and started the onslaught of re-releases we saw from record companies trying to cash in. So, to the radio show American Roots and to Arhoolie records, I say sorry, I know you have always been there for American heritage music, but this record put it back on the map.
