Summary: You know....you could READ the description first...
Comment: Seriously, it states quite clearly what this is and what it is NOT. It never claims to have all of the songs from the movie. And it is quite clearly a GUITAR songbook, and wouldn't include music for accapella songs such as "Down to the River" or "O Death".

By the way, "Angel Band", which I agree would have made a nice addition to the book, is widely available on the net as it is quite an old stanadard. I'd much rather they leave off songs like that in favor of unique arrangements of songs like "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues". I suspect that song is the reason many people bought this book. I know it was for me.

Summary: O Brother Where Art Thou
Comment: Disappointed to find the accapella song, "Down to the River to Pray" was not included. I assumed since it was a book of the music from the movie it would be complete. Waste of my money.

Rating: 3
Summary: "O Brother" with some glaring omissions
Comment: Be warned that the title of this book is actually "SELECTIONS FROM O Brother, Where Art Thou?" This is essentially a guitar tabulature songbook, so some of the most striking songs from the movie/album are missing: "O Death," "Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby." "Po Lazarus," "Down In the River to Pray," "Angel Band" (guitar part too simple???). So, anyone expecting a complete songbook of the movie soundtrack will be quite disappointed. For the songs that are there, the tab looks pretty good (sorry, I only play banjo, not guitar.), but keep your reading glasses on, because it's a bit on the small side. The end of the book has a few pages of very clear explanatory notes concerning all the special notations in the book. Overall it's a good book for the guitar player, but I wish that ALL the songs from the movie were included.
