I'm a Coen Brothers fan and appreciate the choice of instruments [probably T-Bone Burnett's decision]. However, when Llewyn visits his ageing father and sings him a song his dad liked when he was 'young', the song he plays is Shoals of Herring, written no more than a year or two before the film is set. My current favourite is Jojo Rabbit - set in world war two, but opens with I Wanna Hold Your Hand [in German] and closes with Bowie's Heroes [which may be anachronistic, but fits the scene perfectly].
