Classic Performance By The Soggy Bottom Boys Of The Song 'I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow'

If it's been a while since you've heard the song 'I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow' by The Soggy Bottom Boys, then you won't want to miss this classic performance!

Actor George Clooney does an amazing job of lip-syncing to the song in the film Oh Brother Where Art Thou as his character performs the song on stage. In this bluegrass film by the Coen Brothers, George Clooney hams it up as Ulysses after he escapes prison with Delmar and Peter and the trio decides to hunt down a treasure.

The pinnacle of the film is when the boys become famous with their unique sound of music. The song 'I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow' did in fact become a number one hit in real life after the release of the movie. 

"I am a man of constant sorrow

I've seen trouble all my day.

I bid farewell to old Kentucky

The place where I was born and raised."

One viewer posted, “I've seen this movie so many times and it never gets boring. A great story, perfect cast, and great music.”

This is one of those rare jewels of a movie, like 'Lord of the Rings'. Another added, “I can’t put into words how much I absolutely love this movie, this movie is just, man it’s just perfect.

This video recently went viral, receiving more than two million views, despite the release of the movie in 2001–more than two decades ago.
