Guide Review
Various Artists - Down From The Mountain
This DVD contains live performances from artists that were part of the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. The performance took place in Nashville, and besides seeing the actual show, you see backstage interviews and banter between the artists.

The show is hosted by the late John Hartford, with his wry wit and sense of humor, really adds to the show. Cast members include The Cox Family, Fairfield Four, Emmylou Harris, Chris Thomas King, Alison Krauss and Union Station, Colin Linden, The Peasall Sisters, Ralph Stanley, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, and The Whites.

If you have an interest in bluegrass music, want to learn more about the history of folk and bluegrass, or want to see what all the fuss is about with the music from the O Brother soundtrack, you can hear and witness the excitement here live from the Ryman Auditorium. It's also available in VHS format.
