Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Country music reclaimed its traditional soul with the chart-topping triumph of the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. Down From The Mountain, the concert sequel, recorded (and filmed) at Nashville's venerable Ryman Auditorium, reunites Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Alison Krauss and Union Station and other O Brother standouts. With little duplication, the selection extends the film's revival of acoustic spirituals and Appalachian balladry, though the performances and pacing of the concert aren't quite as consistently compelling as the studio soundtrack. Among the highlights is a pair of originals by Welch and David Rawlings, the bluesy "Dear Someone" and the Everlyesque "I Want to Sing That Rock and Roll". Where O Brother interspersed archival recordings among the contemporary artistry, the concert finds Nashville gospel's Fairfield Four harmonising on the chain-gang chant of "Po' Lazarus", while the late John Hartford (in one of his final performances) renews the deadpan whimsy of "Big Rock Candy Mountain". --Don McLeese
Chronique amazon.fr
La bande originale du film "O Brother" en live, ou presque. Le film des frères Coen eut d'autant plus de succès que la B.O.F. qui l'accompagnait reçut un accueil surprenant, culminant au sommet des charts country pendant des mois. Et comme les artistes présents sur ce soundtrack n'avaient pas fait "un coup", mais simplement ce qu'ils ont l'habitude de faire, on retrouvait la plupart d'entre eux sur scène le 24 Mai 2000, au célèbre Ryman Auditorium, l'historique Grand Ole Opry, véritable sanctuaire historique de la country music. Et pour le plaisir vont se succéder sur les planches du vénérable établissement des artistes dévoués à la cause de cette musique de l'âme et du cœur. Il suffit d'écouter des duos comme celui de Chris Thomas King avec Colin Linden, ou celui de Gillian Welch avec son complice David Rawlings, pour saisir le sens de cet engagement. Lorsque Welch s'associe à Alison Krauss sur "I'll Fly Away" ce sont aussi des instants de pur bonheur. Le générique de cet album est un peu finalement une liste idéale d'artistes au sens le plus noble du terme. Simple et beau. --José Ruiz

Not as good as the soundtrack, but still worth the money!,
By
This review is from: Down From The Mountain Live (Audio CD)
After three years of being dominated by mediocre, middle of the road pop singers with only marginal talent, country music was finally given a wakeup call with the unexpected success of the O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU soundtrack. The double platinum soundtrack has become one of the most successful albums of the year, and has proved to Nashville that the roots of country music are still thriving.DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN is the companion to the hugely popular soundtrack. Recorded live in Nashville in May, 2000, the album features several of the songs made popular by O BROTHER, as well as many songs recorded by the artists from the soundtrack. While it lacks the variety of the first CD, DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN sports several songs that make it a fine album to own, regardless of whether they were on the O BROTHER album or not. Standouts include the Cox Family's "Will There Be Any Stars In My Crown," Emmylou Harris's "Green Pastures," Gillian Welch's "I Want To Sing That Rock and Roll," and the Whites' "Sandy Land." DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN closes with Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss's duet of "I'll Fly Away." One of the album's best and most bittersweet moments is the late John Hartford's performance of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." Hartford died at age sixty three just a year after the recording was made. While it isn't as long or enjoyable as the O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU soundtrack, DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN is an excellent companion to its prequel. If you enjoyed the soundtrack, you will love this album. Hopefully, DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN, which has already appeared on the country album charts, will do its share in the quest to repopularize bluegrass and traditional country music.

This review is from: Down From The Mountain Live (Audio CD)
This is a cool movie no doubt.I would have rated it higher -- had I not known that some artists in the movie have never been paid for their performance in it -- hundred of thousands of copies sold -- but zilch has been paid to at least one artist that I personally know. THey were giving this away on PBS -- to those making a donation --he (artist I know of)is ALL over this movie -- but he has yet to be compensated or recognized by the movie producers.

This review is from: Down From The Mountain Live (Audio CD)
I never thought I was a fan of this kind of music till the "Oh Brother" movie, but this "Down from the Mountain" performance has added to my new love. The DVD or VCR of this is also a must see, where it was good to get to visit John Hartford one more time. I really enjoyed the backstage, inside glimpse at the performers on the DVD. Every single song on the CD is a good addition to the over-all pleasant experience, and I suggest you buy this CD if you are a true lover of good music, no matter what type of music you prefer.
