Then...
In 2000, the Coen Brothers released a film set in 1937 rural Mississippi during the Great Depression.
It was a modern satire loosely based on Homer's "Odyssey" starring George Clooney, John Turturro, Tim Blake Nelson, John Goodman, and Holly Hunter.
Personally, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is my favorite of the "two-headed director", Joel and Ethan Coen.
The soundtrack for the film was produced by T-Bone Burnett and features bluegrass, gospel, blues, and country music.
It won a Grammy in 2002 for Album of the Year.
Since then, the Coens have directed 6 more films including the creepy "No Country For Old Men" and the hilarious "Burn After Reading".
Later this year, they will release "True Grit", a western starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Hailee Steinfeld.
We'll have to wait and see if we get another award winning soundtrack.
Until then, here's an old favorite of mine.
Happy 4th of July. I'll be back Monday.
