I'd put a 'bluegrass' tag on this if I were the OP - this is definitely bluegrassy country.

"That's some mighty fine a' pickin' an' a singin'

or this one-
"Jacking up banks.
I can see how a fella'd derive a whole lot of pleasure
and satisfaction out of it."
Classic Cohen..

.what can you say, Jews are funny mthrfkrs!

As I mentioned on the other 'Oh brother thread. The soundtrack to this movie is on my all time best list. Fantastic music - if you like the bluegrassy stuff.

It's a nice contrast to the bubble-gum country pop, that you find playing on most radio stations these days.

Appalachian, traditional bluegrass.

Many, many versions of this age-old song have been recorded. These are the most widely known lyrics, of course made popular by the movie. Here's a good rundown, if you're interested...

Thanks for the history, mlx. That was interesting.

Thanks HistNerd!

tags should be "oh brother..." not "old brother..."

You're right, thanks Conan
