O Brother Where Art Thou Grammy Performance (2002)

[karffiol]

I can't help myself but when the Alison Krauss started her solo I got instant boner!

her music + her look = super hot country!

[realzone3]

This whole movie was literally perfect the acting and the filming, but what got me most of all was the music every single song from this film was amazing!

[robstock]

any love for that quick slide solo by that guy on the black guitar?

cause personally, I thought it was funky as fuck

[LaraHayes1986]

@robstock That black guitar is a dobro, and yes, Jerry Douglas is a dobro maestro. His mentor was the legendary late Josh Graves, who introduced the instrument to bluegrass music. My dad played banjo in a bluegrass band from '78 to '82 when I was a preteen, and once at a bluegrass festival, Graves wandered by our campsite, spotted our dobro player strumming a Josh Graves model instrument and ended up joining in on a two-hour jam session. AWESOME moment.

[Papoliteo]

Great! Best movie. Even John Stuart wasn't out sucking eggs. Rumor is Mr. Stuart is a fan of Bluegrass music.

Mr. Teepharteyers to you

[YouzTube99]

If you'd like to close the circle, check out the Stanley Brothers' (Dr. Ralph and his late brother Carter) more old-timey performance of 'Man Of Constant Sorrow':

[Curlybird998]

What's not to like: 3 of the most amazing and beautiful "sireen" singers around today; Ralph Stanley singing an impassioned prayer keeping death at bay for another year or the Soggy Bottom Boys aka Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Ralph Stanley, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris.

Mercy...That's just some Great Music no matter what you want to call it.

[julianamercy]

and not a single dislike!

[Amusiclover1954]

Ralph Stanleys' performance is the most soulful I've ever seen. Listen to the words carefully as he prays Death away for another year. It is absolutely riveting and moving. Incredible performance Mr. Stanley, you are a master at your chosen trade!

[1966spartan1]

That is a some sweet harmony, Ladies. Ralph is a legend and timeless, and Dan and the boys are awesome, y'all!

[winterstellar]

Jon Stewart is the best comedian in America. But I bet them "teepharteyers" dun'like'im much, haha:)

[tlathird]

John Stewart is an asshole

[beanshell081299]

@tlathird indeed!

[IEATFOOOOD]

@tlathird And why is it that you think so?

[akrackenberger]

Ralph Stanley gives me chills.

[McGarvinStudios]

"Hot damn! It's the Soggy Bottom Boys!"

[flairross]

wow that was amazing real soul music?

[MaelstromK]

I don't even like bluegrass but this is enthralling!

[bkeay100]

Emmy Lou Harris is sooooooooooo sexy

If I was 10 yrs younger, this babe wouldn't have a Chance

[FrowningIke]

Alison and Dan rock! Plus Alison is CRAZY hot!

[reckonimokie]

Thanks, I thought I recognized him; met Mike Compton last August...terrific performer.

[zzuebe2]

I know Ralph and I'll tell you he is just an ordinary person... always taking time to tell you time of day... He has a house in southwestern Virginia just a very few miles from mine.. What you see is what you get... His (late) fiddle player lived right next door to me years back.... In these parts of eastern Tennessee Ralph and his boys are like family... and they make you feel the same !!!!

[littleangel5101]

Its actually Allison Krauss  and Union Station.

[chrisled704]

you fucking pop artist bow to southern music.

[buckonz]

Alison Krauss (on violin) should be deemed a National Treasure!

[mark1964boss]

@buckonz She definitely has a groove going on.

[buckonz]

Alison Krauss should be deemed a National Treasure!

[nawzy202]

[brelfan]

Didn't watch this. But hard to imagine how any pop singer would top these performances.

[sinbadergoldenshank]

[LaGioiella]

I love the negro spiritual influence in American folk songs!

[ExDJrocksquaddie]

[kathowell08]

This performance stunned me when I watched the Grammy's. I had never seen "O Brother Where Art Thou", but to hear this song, Ralph Stanley's "O Death" and the Soggy Bottom Boys caused me to quickly by the album and later the movie. This is classic!
