O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Soundtrack)

T Bone Burnett produced the soundtrack, which reached number one on the Billboard 200 in 2001, went eight times platinum and won the Grammy for album of the year on February 27, 2002. The modern tracks were recorded in spring 1999 at Sound Emporium in Nashville, though the sources do not tie that to this track. The Cox Family made a brief appearance in the film, and Willard Cox had a small acting role. They filmed "I Am Weary (Let Me Rest)" and "Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown" at the Ryman Auditorium on May 24, 2000 for Down from the Mountain, backed by Mike Compton on mandolin and Barry Bales on bass; the film came out in December 2000 and its soundtrack on July 24, 2001, reaching 102 on the Billboard 200. The track is 3:13 on Wikipedia and 3:16 on another listing.
