A little Saturday morning foot-tapper.

I have this thing about the movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou?' and I just can't get past it. I keep coming back to it time and again.

I'm not remotely religious (technically I'm an Agnostic Sceptic for those who like things in neat little boxes), but the soundtrack to this movie does such an outstanding job of conveying time and place that I can't imagine it otherwise.

Here's perhaps the best known song, sung by the man whose voice you hear in the movie working at his day job. Watch out for the lap steel playing. Enjoy.

Great choice Leftybassman392!

Here's a 'gospel genre' feel good song that agnostic sceptics (and anyone else) can enjoy. From the great Mavis Staples...

I'll raise your Mavis Staples and add Aretha into the mix with this little gospel gem . . .

No-one does Aretha quite like Aretha..............

[ratman]

And nobody does Junior Brown quite like.......

All contributions most welcome of course, but it's not a gospel thread as such. Just sayin'...

Only one foot tapper allowed on Sat mornings, the one that opens and closes Brian Matthews' programme on R2

Yes indeed. It's still a lap steel guitar though. The giveaway is the square neck profile. He just happens to be playing it standing up is all.

Just ask this man:

My favorite track from this movie has to be Chris Thomas King's version of Skip James' Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues. Incredible.
