Here is the video I had to edit for my Digital Media class.  I didn't supply the background music, but I added a quick vocal, which sounds goofy when combined with the existing audio track.  (Oh well.)  Enjoy!

How interesting that I was just talking about "O Brother Where Out Thou" in a recent post, and the next video that showed up on the YouTube queue was this song sung by Alison Krauss, which was one of many tracks of hers that were used in that movie.

Alison Krauss has an amazingly beautiful voice, and is well known in bluegrass, country, and other musical genres.  She is tied for second place with Quincy Jones for the most Grammy wins -- both at 27.  (The conductor, Sir Georg Solti, is in first place at 31 wins.)  She is also a talented musician, and plays violin / fiddle, piano, and mandolin.

Alison used to sing with a group called Union Station.  One of their early songs was used 20+ years ago on the soundtrack album for Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

She also performed several songs on the Cold Mountain soundtrack, including this beautiful song written by Sting.

And this one written by T-Bone Burnett and Elvis Costello:
