- When the time came for the Coen Brothers to find the music for their Southern period piece comedy, “O Brother, Where Art Thou?,” they asked record producer T Bone Burnett to lend a hand. They wanted original recordings of old-timey, American folk music. What they came up with was a sprawling mix of authentic bluegrass musicians and contemporary alternative country stars that resulted in a surprisingly successful soundtrack album. Featured on the soundtrack are Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss, Gillian Welch, John Hartford, Ralph Stanley, David Rawlings, and Chris Thomas King, among others.
“In May of 2000, plans were made for the artists on the soundtrack to gather and perform the music from the film at a special concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. T Bone Burnett enlisted producer Bob Neuwirth to assemble a team of all star filmmakers.
The resulting Down From The Mountain documents the evening’s concert, complete with backstage preparations and rehearsals. Co-produced by Frazer Pennebaker, the film by D A Pennebaker, Chris Hegedus and Nick Doob captures a joyous and free-spirited celebration of a truly American musical form.
John Hartford died just about a year after this album was recorded, at the age of 63. He was in his prime. John was a living library of old fiddle tunes and river songs, mountain music and lore about the people who played it. Some of it is gone with him; this film is part of the enormous share that he left behind - on records, and with the people who knew him.”
- Joel Cohen, Ethan Cohen, and T Bone Burnett
“If you have any affection at all for traditional American music, the movie is pretty close to heaven.”
- A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Featuring Performances by:
Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss & Union Station, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, The Cox Family, Fairfield Four, The Whites, Chris Thomas King, Colin Linden, John Hartford, Ralph Stanley

This whole video is great.
But man, when John starts playing his fiddle @1:11:42, it put serious chills down my arms. The passion and spirit he had for that music always inspires me when I hear him play. RIP John Hartford!
"I'm a frustrated librarian. Rather than be a banjo picker or steamboat pilot, I'd like to be some guy who sits behind a desk and goes 'shh!'"
I'd like to hear where that conversation went. 😊
The John Hartford solo is just so heartbreaking. He knows, everyone knows, he is on his way out soon.
Brother Stanley’s voice is what we think is our grandparents sounded like. RIP to all those gentle folks.
Like a bracing breath of fresh air.
Amen brother!
NYC boy who hated Country and especially Bluegrass music; as a young boy my dad sent me to live with relatives in Virginia and North Carolina. I can't remember listening or hearing any music there, tho I know it must have been in the background prominently featured.
Years and years later when Rock, Hard Rock, and Acid Rock lost all their glitters, I noticed Country there as the foundations of the Blues (which I still love to this day) and even more foundational in there was Bluegrass music. It's an amazing form, way far underrated. These performers tip the scales quite heaviy in pure raw talent.
I couldn't turn this video off, jaw dropping stuff.. Leave it to the Cohen brothers to find the beauty of it all. Numb and dazed by it..
btw.. John Hartford (now deceased) was the pillar on which this show rested as its touchstone. RIP John
what a delight it was, being the physician for the tour...still friends with most of the surviving members of the troupe...s
The white volvo station wagon seen @ 2:30 was used to pick up Ralph Stanley from the airport.
I bought it from the lady who drove him in November, 2001. I totaled it six weeks later on Christmas Day.
Great music came up on my feed. Love it. Hard to turn it off. I`m from Norway, and the only one I know is Emmylou Harris😍 thank you for the music👌
For you youngsters out there, the guy in the hat is John Hartford: banjo, fiddle, guitar. He wrote "Gentle On My Mind."
I always though Jimmy Webb wrote that- thanks for the info!
Man of the people
Tall Buildings - my!
Try to live in at least one bluegrass or Americana festival in your life, whether you like this music or not.
Spend as much time as you can in the performer camping area.
Music played only by the love of the everyday people right there with you is life-changing.
Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch together... heaven
Anyone sounds better when accompanied by Emmylou Harris!
They are wonderful.
A special performance.
👍👍❤️🌺👍👍
Kitty Well she give you a feelings Love , Happy , Sad she touched the hearts of the world 🌍🌍❤
I'm 82 yrs young. Grew up with this music. Carries me back ! Beautiful, authentic true.
Me too!
There is nothing more American than Emmylou Harris and Baseball
I thought the Cox family was fabulous... that female lead singer... OUTSTANDING.
I had the privilege of attending this show. The audience was almost as interesting as the show - I spotted Ricky Skaggs, Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, and Joel and Ethan Coen. I'm sure there plenty more.
Oh I'm 81 but in my head 25 years old, still smoking all the ......
I'am 71 and I am a big fan of Jimmy Rodgers.I call it folk music. That
always makes music special.
Ralph Stanley is a national treasure, he will be memorialized in Nashville and the Smithsonian!
Folks, it just don't get no better than this.
My Dad played back Guitar for the Stanley Brothers in the late Fifties.
Nothing like old time music in tough times,may peace be with you in Yeshua s name.
Rest in peace, Dr. Ralph Stanley and John Hartford!
Willard and Marie Cox of the Cox family.
Wonderful honor having the great John Hartford as master of ceremonies !!
Sad to see the cancer taking its toll on him.
Husband and I just watched this from South Africa and totally enchanted by the all the music from the heart. Magic ❤
The most genuine music you could find, thank you to all involved for turning me to country music.
I was in the Navy 1969-1973 stationed at NAVCOMSTA-WASH working in the Pentagon. Lots of greats were singing around
Washington, D.C. then....Emmylou Harris, John Denver with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, even Roberta Flack. When I hear a song
by any of them, I can't get it out of my head for days. I was born in the coal fields so a lot of that music sounds like home.
EmmyLou always looks like an angel when she sings.
There just aren't enough fine words to adequately describe the collective performances of these consummate artists.
Amen!
Absolutely ! The talent in these artistes is the pinnacle .
One of my cherished possessions is Ralph's autograph on the Oh brother Album I have,
Proud to say George winn was my neighbor for 40 years ...listening to bluegrass is a way of life here
I only wish there was a way to applaud for each song, rather than give a thumbs up. I would applaud every one of them!
Ralph Stanley- a cappella 👍👍👍👍💚💚💚💚
Ralph Stanley crushed it, sent chills down my back.
😅Willie Nelson always said “2 kinds of people”. Those who love Emmylou Harris and those who have never met her
OMG! I LOVE BOTH OF YOU!
I loved the movie 🎥 but the music 🎶🎵 is what I grew up listening 🎧 to in my hometown area of Roanoke Virginia 💙
i just love everything and everyone who worked this movie for us . love from iraq
I listen this type music most of the time. This has ever even came up on UA-cam I really like it.
There is nothing on this earth like a Mother's love and often it brings out in them something like heaven on earth.
I'm from the Missouri Ozarks this is the music I listened to from WSM 650 Grand Ole Opry it will always be endeared to me.
Lord have mercy! I hear music from the Scotland highlands, an Irish jig, and a whole of other music including MS blues! Love it all!
DONT FORGET CHOIRS FROM WALES….THE BEST!!
I loved more than anything seeing the fox family I grew up goin from bluegrass to bluegrass and I remember lil brother as a lil boy but then again we was all much younger back then y’all still sound just as beautiful as I remember
Cox family idk why my phone wants to change it to fox but they r the cox family just like my granny
I stumbled across this and it has really been a blessing.
Made my evening on a cold grey rainy day on Cape Cod! Unimaginably perfectly wonderful music and musicians- all good people! Thanku thanku
There's nothin like Kentucky poor. Just so gripping music... Sad and blue. Great one.
Wow! Just Wow! Heritage/classic.
What a great joy to see all these legends and incredible musicians together on one stage, the genius of T Bone Burnett. Beautiful music.
We got lots of love for you John Prine
Found this,boy what a surprise. All my favorite artists in one place.❤❤❤
I live in the hills and mountains of Arkansas and I’ve always loved bluegrass, mountain folk and American folk music.
Gillian Welch is one of the most underrated vocalists in music today.
yes, but i love her and her soooo hearttouching voice, esp. when she sings with dave rawlings. for me shes one of the most important singer in my musiclife. just a fine professional folkie
Is she really? Next to whom?
I agree
This "underrated" comment is so overused. Who is doing the rating here?
I believe what you're getting at is that she is underappreciated.
But in this day and age, how does one gauge appreciation?
It sure isn't by record sales. She has a song about that on her revelator album, in fact. Check it out.
@@Lea99Jones I presumed it to be by those "rating" singers. There are a lot of those on youtube. Vocal coaches ( real and selfdeclared) who react to singers. Other than that I can only think the person meant critics?
I'm a country boy from Ireland loves this song
I can’t believe I came across this tonight. My wife and I saw this show in Milwaukee. Hands down the best music I have ever listened to.
Boy, that Mike Compton was all over this. One of my favorites.
In the background throughout the whole concert, fantastic performance!
Dr Ralph Stanley
Bluegrass old time mountain style music
🎶 🎶 is revered here
In Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
This whole movie
Ring true 👍 😌 👌
The who who of bluegrass tis a feeling
Similar to our own traditional Irish music
When you hear it you know.. Righteous..
Thanks for sharing
We are better human beings for having watched this lullaby&field holler.👍
😊 😀 🙂 🙏 ☺ 👍
This is music from your country, and others of Great Britain, Ralph Stanley is from the southern central Appalachian Mountains. It is the music his family played, predating Bluegrass. It came from the music the Scot-Irish, brought over in the 1700’s.
Gotta be one of the greatest presentations I've seen.
How wonderful to see John Hartford talking about his greatest love- The River.
I cried during that part. With chills.
One of the very few, privileged enough to have a riverboat pilots license!
This is an hour and a half of pure pure joy.
wonderful. I am grandchild of Virginia coal miner and daughter of musicians.
This music awakens the soul
This music makes me puke.
Superb show of true music... What talents... From France.
Just saw Jerry at Grey Fox!!!! So dang good!!! Such amazing music. Been listening to Emmylou all my life
So beautiful to hear this kind of music I love it wish it could still be this away. Thank you from my heart Charlie Clark.
Gillian, thank you forever for this. You know what? It’s a hymn meant for mountain dulcimer. Makes me want to sing my pathetic heart out.❤
National Treasure.....Amazing!
Just one of the most beautiful programs I've seen in a very long time. Glorious.
😘💐💐💐
They didn't sing the signature song from the movie (I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow(s?))!? Brother Where Art Thou is a classic and got this Yankee boy hooked on the music. And now I know who Emmy Lou Harris IS! Now I have to watch the movie AGAIN!!! (I'm hooked on the dang thing!) I never get tired of watching it! (c=
Ralph Stanley sang it while the entering credits were being shown.
How wonderful to have the legendary John Hartford captured in time!
He's been my hero since he was a regular on (one of) The Smothers Brothers' Show(s) back in the (early 70s?) Somehow or another, the album _Mark Twang_ (1976) found its way into our household at about that time. And he was Glen Campbell's banjo picker, if I remember correctly.
Those were good times for music....
According to Google, both tv series (and the Johnny Cash show) happened between 1968 and 1971. Before any of them was "Gentle on My Mind," which he wrote and recorded in the mid-60s. The GC version was in 1968, if I remember correctly.
Had the honor of seeing him perform twice in the late 70s.
Memorable!
Had the pleasure of seeing him perform and sit with a a small little bar in Hallowell Maine…in the 80’s I believe. What a great musician and an even better person?🥰
The original movie opened my eyes to traditional American music. This particular film was a joy to watch.
So Beautiful and brings back Precious Memories!
I can't believe that I just found this. Nothing short of spectacular with so many favorites. Thanks so much!
Thank you for this Great beautiful music!❤❤❤🎼🎶🎵🎸🪕❤❤❤
I had to look up T Bone Burnett and see if he did Cold Mountain - and he did! These two movies are epic sound tracks!
200823 ❤🧡💛 I just love this.
I love this..Thank you..Greetings from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for posting this, John Hartford, still alive, made me cry, and Gillian Welch is still the best of the best.
Me, too!
The best of the best! Some of my favourite musicians of all time.
The film OH BROTHER WHERE ART THOU is an homage to Preston Sturgis' SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS which features the story of a director who wants to film a depression era story called OH BROTHER WHERE ART THOU and is thwarted by the studio.
It's based on Homer's Odyssey
Alison Krauss is as hilarious on stage as she was here. I went to see her when she was on tour with Windy City.
This concert film is TOO SHORT.
Hairl Hensley R.I.P. @ 03:38. Hall of Fame worthy Grand Ole Opry/WSM Announcer.
The lovely and amazing Alison Krauss. She is the ONLY singer who could, or ever should, sing
the song " I Need You at the Dimming of the Day.
No one else has ever done justice to it.
She sure can sing and play that fiddle, can't she 🎻
Bonnie R’s version is great too.
Listen to Suzanne Cox sing!
Great memories of the Cox family at concerts, and John Hartford as a pilot and entertainer on the Julia Belle Swain! Also Gillian Welch and
David Rawlings at Merlefest!
Utterly fantastic ... those harmonies talk to the heart
Gotta love it Emmy Lou Harris!!! Thanks sweet hart.
Hart is spelled "heart".
Wonderful, wonderful a treasure and historic but best of all fantastic people making astounding music. You Tube for me is the absolutely best thing on the net.
...there's some inexplicable magic going on there , maybe its the historic auditorium or god was looking down on Nashville that day , …its just too perfect , the dang thing's alive and live with not a note out of place , whew .. just incredible transceding music !
Little bit of both Maybe,could be there wouldn't be no Grand Ole Opry or historic Auditorium unless God was looking down on Nashville
I especially liked the Cox Family from Cotton Valley, Louisiana.
Suzanne Cox has a really nice voice. I don't know as much about the Cox Family as I do some of the other artists, but they sound really good; certainly the best gospel/traditional family band I've ever heard.
Hello 👋 how are you doing today?
Look up the overwhelming Cox family / Alison Krauss album, I Know Who Holds Tomorrow.
Ralph Stanley's "Death" makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It's amazing and I want that played [no one else could sing it like he did] at my funeral.
That song does the same thing to me , everytime..My cousin and I wanted to play Thats my job..by Conway at my Dad`s funeral the other day. So I tried and tried but I always cried halfway down the mirrored hallway...
Same. I had the pleasure of seeing this live in Birmingham, AL when the tour was going on. And just like this, Dr. Stanley spotlit and acapella, and the crowd was absolutely silent. Goosebumps, even all these years later.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I saw it years ago and wished to watch it again. The most beautiful music.
This is probably the best Ryman auditorium program that’s ever been done. Amazing.
Hello! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.. Stay safe
Oh my god THANK YOU for uploading this! This is a collection of talent that is a rare treat.
Ooooh my!!! I can't believe I just found this! Amazing, I'm such a big fan of this movie. Thank you for sharing 💚🎶💚
What a beautiful, special concert ! And as the cherry on the cake, my all time favorite singer/fiddler, Alison Krauss.
Thnx !
The Cox Family performed at many bluegrass festival with the band I was in, Steve and Stacey Birdwell and the Deep South. I had the honor of playing upright bass at the St. Maurice Bluegrass Festival in St. Maurice, LA with Buck White and the Down Home Folks. I played the whole set with them and had never heard of Ricky Scaggs or Jerry Douglas. Unfortunately, on a trip back to Cotton Valley, an 18 wheeler hit their van head on. Willard's wife was killed instantly and Willard was in the hospital for a long time but, when released, he came home and played for a while but eventually he passed away, too.
Please check your facts before commenting. Willard and his wife were involved in a collision with a logging truck (they were stationary) in 2000 after which Willard was left in a wheelchair but his wife didn’t die until 2009 from breast cancer.
@@mooskamoo that's the way my dads parents died...and I would never bring this up but, I feel it. Grandpa died from a truck running a red light in Myrtle Beach and grandma was critical...but she held out. Unfortunately cancer three years after is how we lost the strongest women I have ever known
Also ...
This is the DVD that got me into Gillian Welch!.. Wow, they all look so young (haven't watched it in awhile).
What a treasure of musicians!
This just cropped up in my feed somehow, it's beautiful! Thanks for the upload!
We did amazing grace on stage in Texas 2010 was so breath taking .
Dave, Emmy Lou and Gillian Going Up Home....the best of some truly inspired music throughout. Glad this is out there for everyone.
Now this is one piece of musical gold dust , I have the dvd of the show and I think I nearly worn the poor thing out , so patrons of folk gold sit down and git the butterkist popcorn oot , and ENJOY
Terrific movie with so many great musicians. Wonderful to see John Hartford recorded again before he left us to play in the hereafter band. Thanks for posting.
Love, love,. LOVE THIS❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank you so very much❣️
I could watch the whole movie again and again just to get to the last ten minutes
I guess we will all join the Hereafter Band ?
Beautiful singing, love this so much, Thank you for sharing 👋👋💯⭐❤️😻
I also loved the movie so very much, immediately bought the soundtrack and listened to it a thousand times. These musicians are so awesome and they've given me years of pleasure. I particularly love Alison Krauss- I'm from South Africa and was privileged to go on a number of road trips to America where I bought a double cd by Alison + Union Station. Extraordinary
I would have LOVED to have been there for this concert ~~ but so glad for this film. Next best! Thank you for posting it!
Hello 👋 Flaudatlee how are you doing today,?
