Hello everybody,
The film is really good. It’s set in the Greenwich Village folk music scene in 1961 and is loosely based on parts of the autobiography of the great folk and blues singer Dave van Ronk. Its great to see the Coen Brothers do another folk music based movie as a kind of followup to “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?” although the films are very different.
The soundtrack album is set for release on Nov. 11th and the film itself comes out in mid December. Other musicians on the album include the amazing and versatile Punch Brothers, Marcus Mumford (without his Sons) and noted folk singer Justin Timberlake. The album was recorded and produced by T Bone Burnett.
More information is available at the Nonesuch Records website, and you can hear the whole album at NPR’s website.
Congratulations! I’ve heard the soundtrack and I think it’s a lot of fun fun. Your track is, of course great. I hope it brings you every bit as much success as any of the artists on the Oh Brother soundtrack.
Congratulations on appearing on the album! If the film is anywhere near as good as all the amazing musical performers booked to promote it in the past few months, then I think the Coens have another hit on their hands.
I have to say, this may be the first album I buy that features a backstreet boy…or whichever.
