The soundtrack to the Depression-era movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? came out in the final weeks of 2000 and was certified Platinum by February of 2001, making this the 25th anniversary of the year that the multi-artist masterpiece shook up country music and became the biggest boost for old-time folk, blues, and bluegrass in decades. With a recent Grand Ole Opry special celebration as a backdrop, Craig Havighurst revisits the album’s story, its songs, and its impact on American culture.
