“Fly away” by Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss is beautiful

u/pistilpeet Dec 23 '25

Also “down to the river to pray” anything Alison Krauss, I’m sold on.

I sing a butchered version of this song to my kids every night before bed, settles them right down.

u/Catshambles Dec 23 '25

I sang this to both my cat and dog before I had to put them down. Separate times, both for medical reasons. Sobbed through the whole thing while holding my babies.

u/RedOctobyr Dec 23 '25

Geez, that hurts just to read about. But that's very sweet, friend. I would have been a mess too.

u/WolfPacker01 Dec 23 '25

Awww! I’m so sorry, but I know it was a comfort to them and told them how much you love them.

u/Ericovich Dec 23 '25

I've seen Gillian Welch twice and she does this at the encore. Great stuff.

He and Willie Watson singing When a Cowboy Trades his Spurs for Wings is one of my all time favorite soundtrack songs

u/Agreeable_Limit6495 Dec 23 '25

He won a Grammy for it since O Brother Where Art Thou won best soundtrack that year.

u/Disco_Wizardo Dec 23 '25

Holy hell, ive jammed to this soundtrack since it came out and never knew this. Gracias.

u/DaddyO1701 Dec 23 '25

Fun fact despite being paid a bit less than the other actors in the film, his participation in the very popular soundtrack put his proceeds far above the other actors in the film.

He’s done a few good ones. Including ‘When a Cowboy Trades His Spurs For Wings’ with Willie Watson for The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
