leftybassman392 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 (edited) I have this thing about the movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' and I just can't get past it. I keep coming back to it time and again. I'm not remotely religious (technically I'm an Agnostic Sceptic for those who like things in neat little boxes), but the soundtrack to this movie does such an outstanding job of conveying time and place that I can't imagine it otherwise. Here's perhaps the best known song, sung by the man whose voice you hear in the movie working at his day job. Watch out for the lap steel playing. Enjoy.

bornagainbass65 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Great choice Leftybassman392! Here's a 'gospel genre' feel good song that agnostic sceptics (and anyone else) can enjoy. From the great Mavis Staples... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dz-hXCIWhU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftybassman392 Posted May 8, 2016 Author Share Posted May 8, 2016 All contributions most welcome of course, but it's not a gospel thread as such. Just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a lap steel guitar though. The giveaway is the square neck profile. He just happens to be playing it standing up is all.

cameltoe Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 (edited) My favorite track from this movie has to be Chris Thomas King's version of Skip James' Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues. Incredible. http://youtu.be/hENJKNmoKdo Edited May 10, 2016 by cameltoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
