[O Brother: a display inspired by the anniversary release of a groundbreaking soundtrack]
"In order to capture the sound of Mississippi circa 1932, the Coen [brothers] commissioned T-Bone Burnett...to research and re-create the country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, and blues of the era. The Coens were so taken with Burnett's discoveries that the film became a unique sort of musical revue...This soundtrack is a powerful tribute not only to the time-honored but commercially ignored genres of bluegrass and mountain music but also to Burnett's remarkable skills as a producer."
This display highlights some of the many talented individuals who were a part of the soundtrack, some of the works inspired by the film's music, and materials related to a few of the genres highlighted by Mr. Burnett's research.
