oh johntindale

My Myspace page is my second tribute to the Cohen Brothers movies. My first was for the Big Lebowski, with John Turturro in his "Jesus" character. accompanied by the Gypsy Kings singing Hotel California in Spanish.

This one features the video Man of Constant Sorrow from the movie soundtrack attributed to the Soggy Bottom Boys. The song was actually recorded by Dan Tyminski, a menber of Allison Kraus and Union Station

My dad was from West Virginia, and we woke many Sunday mornings listening to Stained-Glass Bluegrass on 88.5 WAMU. This movie features a rich soundtrack full of blues, bluegrass, early country and gospel music from the depression era South.

If you haven't seen this movie, or any other of the Coen Brothers movies, go straight out and buy them, don't even bother renting- because you'll want to watch them again later.

Rumor has it that Clooney and the Coen Brothers are working on a new project called "Burn After Reading" Im sure it will be another gut-busting trip.
