1.) Down From The Mountain - Various Artists
Down From The Mountain is an album with music from the artists you hear on the soundtrack for "O Brother Where Art Thou?" It is a definite old-time Bluegrass collection and the songs aren't sugar coated for modern ears. The album is a product of a live concert that was held at the Ryman Auditorium on May 24, 2000.
