How did I never find out about this video in the five years it has existed? Tim Blake Nelson does my favorite version of this song. I love it. I have so much respect for when an actor can stretch his pipes.
I agree this is great tune! So impressed to see that Tim did the vocals. My only criticism is that he should properly pronounce "once" in the tune, as "onest" [I told him onest or twice, stop playing cards and a shootin' dice"]
Agreed. Tim Blake Nelson is from Oklahoma. His maternal grandparents were Holocaust escapees who first settled in England. He lives in New York city now but he actually still has a nice Southern twang and almost perfect vioce for this song!
When I was young, I could always tell when my uncle would call my dad from jail to come bail him out, and as soon as my dad hung up the phone he'd start singing this song. Thank you for bringing back old memorys... "Lol"
This is one of my all time favorite movies and music. George Clooney never did anything better and all of the cast was awesome, and Nelson was the only one doing his own singing, and he did it perfectly. This was great comedy, "Glad to see Geroge back up on top again!!", thought i would die...
If y’all loved Tim Blake in O’ Brother you HAVE to watch The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs. Sadly he’s only in the first part of the movie but his character is amazing
My daddy use to do this song in his "country and western" band. It sure brought back memories of better times. Waking up on a rainy Saturday morning to dad playing his acoustic guitar in the living room. Or band practice in the basement. God I miss him. And true country music too. (In the Jail House Now)
Tim did such a wonderful job as Delmar that I thought his southern accent was authentic. And I have a number of recordings of this song, including Jimmy Rodgers' original recording. I think Tim's is the best.
+WildwoodClaire1 That's right. According to the info I read about the making of the film, Nelson and Clooney were to lip-sync with the actual Soggy Bottom Boys performance, but they discovered Nelson could actually sing. Its said Nelson was just as surprised as the director!
Nelson's voice is so perfect for this song - bluesy/melodic - sounds like he just stepped out of 1923. Did the Cohen Bros know this when they cast him?
Tim Blake Nelson didn't think he could sing until he got in that movie. Presumably they said something like "Well, just try it, and if it stinks we can dub you." It didn't stink.
Not only a great tune indeed , but I do give as well much credit to the musicians and the ' yodelling ' fellow, it was Awesome , thanks for sharing guys.
It’s pretty awesome that he actually sang the song himself. One of my favorite songs ever honestly, can’t stand newer country but classic country and bluegrass is great.
Tim Blake Nelson surprised the heck outta me. Didn't know he could actually sing plus being a great actor. Hope he travels with the Soggy Bottom Boys as a special guest.
"I had to be at that there crossroad last midnight, to sell my soul to the Devil." "Well ain't it a small world, spiritually speaking. Pete and Delmar here have just been baptised and saved! I guess I'm the only one who remains unaffiliated."
This is great stuff.\!! I wonder how come he doesn't sing more?! I love his voice, he's a great actor and he was great in O, Brother Where Art Thou. One of my all time favorite movies. :^)
Hot damn, it's the Soggy Bottom Boys!
lol dope movie
"one of the" Soggy Bottom Boys..
Charlie prid new song
Imeldmay
Mc Kra Hot damn
Tim Blake Nelson nails it when he is redoing his version of old songs. He did the same in here and for Buster Scruggs.
He was slick but I was slicker, he drew quick but I was quicker, then the table stopped his ticker Surly Joe!!!
… lol
I wanna see you outside with a iron.😅
Tim Blake Nelson's got a beautiful voice ;)
This is by far the best version of this song ever performed.
i like johnny cash's better.
@monkmoto1887 is comme
Ernest Tubb.
Tim Blake Nelson has a perfect country voice.
He should do a recording of Jimmie Rodgers Bristol Sessions
isn"t this more "Bluegrass" than country ?
How did I never find out about this video in the five years it has existed? Tim Blake Nelson does my favorite version of this song. I love it. I have so much respect for when an actor can stretch his pipes.
You'll be ok
Robert Headley agreed. Nelson kills it on this song.
im with you bro
I agree this is great tune! So impressed to see that Tim did the vocals. My only criticism is that he should properly pronounce "once" in the tune, as "onest" [I told him onest or twice, stop playing cards and a shootin' dice"]
I think Tim's version is better than Jimmie Rodger's original....much better timing!
He did a great job! The look and the sound. Bringing back REAL country. Thank you, Tim Blake Nelson!
Agree ❤️💪🇺🇸
Agreed. Tim Blake Nelson is from Oklahoma. His maternal grandparents were Holocaust escapees who first settled in England. He lives in New York city now but he actually still has a nice Southern twang and almost perfect vioce for this song!
Idk if I'd consider it country... is there a genre named for old timey like vaudeville music I think...
Such a great song and performance!!!
the man is a genius
When I was young, I could always tell when my uncle would call my dad from jail to come bail him out, and as soon as my dad hung up the phone he'd start singing this song.
Thank you for bringing back old memorys... "Lol"
Nice story!
Haha.
He is the actor that made the movie so great. Wish we could see more of Tim Nelson. Thanks for posting.

i forget the name and i dont feel like looking it up can you tell me
nevermind its o brother where art thou
If y’all loved Tim Blake in O’ Brother you HAVE to watch The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs. Sadly he’s only in the first part of the movie but his character is amazing
Cool.....clear.....water
God this guy fuckin rules
I thought that this singer sings for him, I just didn't know him before the movie.
Love how he just stays calm but braggin'!
Amazing how he talks into the camera sometimes!
Seen it... His Character is Pretty Witty & Philosophical in that one..
Tim Blake does this rendition as it was don in the late 1940s-early 1950s; brings back memories of my boyhood.

Hello Melissa
Sounds great
He had me in stitches all thru the movie. A very talented actor & singer.
This is outstanding. Very good actor, GREAT singer. I wanna hear more.
This is an absolutely wonderful version of this song; excellent job boys! It gives me true joy to listen to this.
Well ain't this place just a geographic anomaly, two week from everywhere!"

Just where do you think he is from? Oklahoma is in the south. So his accent, while not as pronounced as in the movie. Would be southernish.
He actually is Southern, he’s an Okie born and bred
Tim Scot Nelson is actually from Tulsa, Oklahoma which was settled mostly by, -people from rural central Appalachia!!!
Growing up in Tulsa as he did, he invariably heard people speaking with that thick Okie accent. Much like my late father-in-law.
In the jailhouse now fellers, neighborhood of B
Priceless!
YES SON!
Nelson's voice is so perfect for this song - bluesy/melodic - sounds like he just stepped out of 1923. Did the Cohen Bros know this when they cast him?
Hugo Ravn well your a frigin bigot aren’t ya.
Hugo Ravn Shmendrik
Kevin Ball he’s not really, it ain’t racist if it’s true
Alfredo Pine it is though
It IS his voice.
I perform this song as a part of my one man band show and it always brings the house down along with Man Of Constant Sorrow!!
Why dont you post a video of it? Could revive it lol
Tim Blake Nelson can act and sing and doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves for it!
Hot damn!! It's the Soggy Bottom Boys, again!!!!!!!
Well, almost.
Watched the film O Brother Where Art Thou so many times...brilliant cd. Good to be alive
My Christmas miracle this year would be for Tim Blake Neslon to release a Country and Western album
TBN is insanely talented. Band is solid, too.
My dad had a band when I was growing up. This was my favorite song. Never thought I'd live it🤣
Nelson is one talented dude.
not the same without John Turturo dancing in the back
Hahahaha true story
Agreed just ain't the same.
Bayani Miguel Acebedo
yep just not the same
Bayani Miguel Acebedo right on
John lived down the block from me growing up in Rosedale
I'm Mexican i usually don't like this kind of music but this song started me to like it! love it! it become my favorite song!

Tim Blake Nelson surprised the heck outta me. Didn't know he could actually sing plus being a great actor. Hope he travels with the Soggy Bottom Boys as a special guest.
