ReviewsRanked #9 in Rolling Stone's "Top 10 2001"., Ranked #56 in EW's "100 Best Movie Soundtracks" - "...An unlikely hillbilly smash making 1930s-style string-band music the 1st trend of the 21st-century...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Mostly traditional spirituals and bluegrass numbers....richly evocative of its time and place, and educational too...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "With some superb country-blues fiddling from John Hartford and a couple of breezy, close-harmony stunners from the Cox Family.", Ranked #3 in Mojo's "Best 10 Box Sets & Compilations of 2001"., 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...A collection of folk, bluegrass, gospel and hobo country so true to the music's down-home, egalitarian roots that it's hard to distinguish the old tracks from the new and the folk heroes from screen actors...", "...The rarest of contemporary soundtracks: good (old) music, coherently programmed, and masterfully perfromed....an exceptional album...", Included in Mojo's "100 Coolest Movie Soundtracks"., "This old-timey country album and most unlikely hit may have signaled the last gasp of alternative country."
