Various Artists: O Brother, Where Art Thou? OST - 25th Anniversary Edition (Vinyl 2xLP)

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Music from the Motion Picture) 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.

The film is set in Mississippi during the Great Depression. The soundtrack, produced by T-Bone Burnett, uses bluegrass, country, gospel, blues, and Southern folk music appropriate to the time period. 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 O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack is certified 8 times platinum by the RIAA, reintroduced traditional American roots music to the masses, and brought genres like bluegrass back to the mainstream. The album's commercial and critical success took many by surprise, influencing a new wave of popular music rooted in the American South.

The soundtrack sparked a 21st-century cultural renaissance for American roots music, including gospel, blues, country, and folk. Its success went beyond just album sales; it became a number one hit on the Billboard 200 chart and spent years on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. The album also garnered several prestigious awards, including the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, a rare feat for a film soundtrack.

The album featured a mix of veteran and contemporary artists who performed traditional songs, many recorded live for the film.
