It’s fare thee well my old true lover. I never expect to see you again. For I’m bound to ride that northern railroad. Perhaps I’ll die upon this train.

I think this is the best Coens movie. I’ve seen all of them except The Man Who Wasn’t There, and hot take they have a lot of bangers but this one is just so tight.

John Goodman as the cyclops was an inspired casting choice.

This is one of my favorite movies to quote. I probably say “I don’t get it, Big Dan.” at least once a week.

This was the first version of this song I ever heard, but I think my all time favorite is:

Clip from Pete Seeger’s public access show from the 60s, when he had on the New Lost City Ramblers. A ton of the old episodes are on YouTube, many great old folk and bluegrass shows

This was awesome. I don’t think I’ve ever actually listened to any other versions of this song before.

Check out Tony Rice. He not only made a lot of music along the same vein as Constant Sorrow, but he was a masterful guitarist.

Here are a couple songs: The Tony Rice Unit - Blue Railroad Train

Mark O’Connor, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck, Sam Bush - “Freeborn Man”

Check the artists who contributed to the album, they all have great stuff worth listening to. Would highly recommend the Stanley Brothers, and also the Kossoy Sisters.

Also Pete Seeger had a public access show called Rainbow Quest, that’s mostly all on YouTube, where he has on folk and bluegrass bands to play and tell stories. Would highly recommend

this is definitely not what you’re asking for, but if you like rock, country, disco, funk, blues, rock and hip hop, you might enjoy Odelay! by Beck
