The inimitable form of filmmaking from Ethan and Joel Coen again extends beyond the lens, carrying some expectation following the phenomenal success of previous movie scores and the involvement (again) of producer 'T-Bone' Burnett. Without having seen their latest movie about the '60s American folk scene (due here December), a few tracks lack context; however, the voice of lead actor Oscar Isaac is what really impresses and should do for folk music what O Brother… did for traditional country music – his duet on Dink's Song is worthy of an Oscar alone.
