Soggy Bottom Boys: Man of Constant Sorrow
From the Coen Brothers classic film “O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU?” here is “Man of Constant Sorrow” by the so-called Soggy Bottom Boys featuring George Clooney as the lead singer. The video is taken from the movie, so if you’ve never seen it (rent it!), you’ll get a nice little overview of many of the memorable scenes. George is from Maysville Kentucky which ain’t far from Flemingsburg where my parents’ lived as kids. Get out on your dance floor and do a little 2-step for your afternoon exercise.
Yee haw!
And just to be thorough, here is Bob Dylan singing HIS “Man of Constant Sorrow.”

Great article btw about Mr Z and his radio program in the latest London Review of Books.
I can say that, as I have come to a vastly greater respect of late, I am looking forward to renewing my acquaintance with BD after these many years (we had some dealings circa ‘76).
