Soggy Bottom Boys - I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow

 

Sunday, Movie time? Why not take a look at the Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", set in the deep south during the 1930's. O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000) is Tune Of The Days movie tip for today.

In Mississippi in 1937, three escaped convicts on the run. They are trying to get home to their families and want to find the swag that Everett (George Clooney) claiming to have hidden after his latest coup. On the long journey through the American South they experience many adventures. The forms include the music group Soggy Bottom Boys in the film gets a huge hit with the traditional folk song Man of Constant Sorrow. The somewhat far-fetched prior the image is said to have been the gospel group The Blind Boys of Alabama. From the brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, inter alia, had the idea for the blind radio station owner and his question about the group was "colored," which The Blind Boys of Alabama was.

The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (lead vocal on "Man of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band's Pat Enright. The three won a CMA Award for Single of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals, both for the song "Man of Constant Sorrow".

O Brother, Where Art Thou? Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. Based on Homer's epic Odyssey and movies with ten cents in his pocket from 1941. The soundtrack includes well-known country and bluegrass artists like Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch and Emmylou Harris.

Tommy, the lead guitarist of the Soggy Bottom Boys, is an intentional reference to the legend of Delta Blues artist Tommy Johnson, who claimed to have sold his soul to the devil in return for blues fame.

The Avett Brothers - Talk On Indolence

The construction is proceeding in "Slottsskogen" and it begins to take shape, now it's officially the third day I'm here but for Tune Of The Day, it's day two. Today we serve a band playing at Azalea, Friday 14:00

The Avett Brothers, A little recap: North Carolina, Beard, two brothers (Seth and Scott) and a friend (Bob), melancholy and euphoria in a world of bluegrass music go hand in hand with punk. Yes, somewhere where Hank Williams breed children with Neil Young as the rebellious fashion press in the Rocket To Russia by Ramones to distance themselves from their parents. However, such a father like son - The Avett Brothers are all that and then some.

The Rick Rubin-produced album "I and Love and You" touched and created mess on the U.S. Billboard chart. Perhaps not surprisingly, since we already knew from before, what the three men could achieve. But like a mad man was of course delighted when the list in general tend to consist of pouring and re-pouring.

Here is some mixed pictures from today!

Todays tune ”Talk On Indolence” is a manic piece and is taken from the album "Live, Vol. 3” it’s a 2010 live album. It features a concert recorded in the band's hometown of Charlotte, NC at Bojangles Coliseum on August 8th, 2009. Originally taken from the album "Four Thieves Gone: The Robbinsville Sessions” was released in 2006.
