En defensa de O Brother Where Art Thou?

Ese disco logro la fama que tuvo no solo por la pelicula (que me encanto y me rei demasiado) sino que a pesar de que ese disco no tenia *nada* de promocion ni empuje de la radio (para el tiempo que salio vivia en Nashville, capital del country y ramas anexas y solo la estacion publica lo toco) y de repente word of mouth hizo que ese disco llegara a donde llego. La radio ignoro este disco y la radio country aun mas hasta que el auge y el 'buzz' del disco fueron suficientes para hacerlo un exito en ventas y revivio el interes en el bluegrass. Prueba fehaciente de que a veces a little success it's not a bad thing.
