Lyric discussion by Splerb 

One of my favorite quotes (don't know if it's true or not) about Dan Tyminski's performance is from his wife who is reported to have said, "It's a dream come true - Dan's voice and George Clooney's body." The song (and songs) seems so spot on for the movie. Epic in it's own nature Man of Constant Sorrow is a man who can't escape his past and sees his peace coming when he is finally dead and buried deep in a sunny valley. It was such a great idea to not only involve so many talented musicians but to give many of them cameo's through-out the movie. Many feel the response to this movie launched a Blue Grass revival of sorts. I was lucky enough to catch one of the concerts centered around the musicians and music from the movie at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. A breath taking experience indeed!

WoW. Thanks. I actually thought Clooney could sing. Man, now I'm feeling a little sad. You explained the lyrics better than I could (what's new). I love listening to the movie CD as I do handyman-type work around the house. The music is inspiring in different ways.
