They joined to perform the music from the film in the Down from the Mountain concert tour, which was filmed for consumer consumption via TV and DVD.

The country and folk musicians who were dubbed into the film include John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Dan Tyminski, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Ralph Stanley, Chris Sharp, and Patty Loveless. The film was met with a positive critical reception, and the soundtrack won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2002. It was released by Buena Vista Pictures in North America, while Universal Pictures released it in other countries. The movie was one of the first to extensively use digital color correction to give the film an autumnal sepia-tinted look. Much of the music used in the film is period folk music. The title of the film is a reference to the Preston Sturges 1941 film Sullivan's Travels, in which the protagonist is a director who wants to film O Brother, Where Art Thou?, a fictitious book about the Great Depression. Some examples of this include Sirens, a Cyclops, and the main character's name, 'Ulysses', which is the Roman name for ' Odysseus'. Its story is a modern satire which, while incorporating social features of the American South, is loosely based on Homer's epic Greek poem the Odyssey. The film is set in rural Mississippi during the 1930s, and it follows three escaped convicts searching for hidden treasure while a sheriff relentlessly pursues them. It stars George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, with Chris Thomas King, John Goodman, Holly Hunter, and Charles Durning in supporting roles. O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a 2000 comedy-drama film written, produced, co-edited, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
