I have yet to see the film, but I have always liked the Coens' stuff. I was amazed to find my 16 year old (who wants nothing more than to got NYU to study film making) listening to "Man of Constant Sorrow" on the computer. Seems he downloaded it through napster. You have to understand that, although my sons all have good musical taste, they have never warmed to traditional string band music or bluegrass. For them to finally connect with a song in that vein is wonderful. Ralph Stanley is a marvel.
