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"
@@Squirrel36 Tim Blake Nelson, in my opinion he sings like a Real Country Singer. 😂 I had forgotten about Him actually making this video. He looks like A young Merle Haggard. They say George Clooney had an awful voice, like my friend Al says Sounds like 🦟 in Tall Grass . Tim Blake Nelson is AWESOME, I'M WITH YOU FELLAS, I'M VOTING FOR YOURS TRULY TOO. 😂😂😂
@@Squirrel36 I meant to say Jimmy Rodgers , He influenced a lot of singers. My Uncle Earle hoboed across the USA around this time. He knew the song well, but the funny story list was short. These songs make me 🤔 about how bad of shape America really is. People got by on Practically nothing compared to what most people waste. And now we have Global Food Shortages. Are The Good Times Really Over? I'm almost scared to ask. 🙏🇺🇸
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!
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"]
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 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!
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)
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
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...
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.
OT, but there was a short lived series called Chaos where Nelson played this super bad ass fighter who would take out the bad guys when needed. Fun show and I was sorry it only lasted one season.
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.
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. :^)
The best version of this song ever done. Nelson's got it down pat. Nobody has ever done it better. He's also such a good actor that I wish we'd see more of him.
I have lived my whole life knowing this song. My family loved the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou. SO HOW DID I JUST FIND OUT ABOUT THIS MUSIC VIDEO
"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."
Fabulous! What an astonishingly and surprisingly great version of this Jimmie Rodgers classic. I sure hope these boys recorded some more stuff like this! The vocalist is just great, I know he was in the movie with george and co, can't recall his name- sorry- But what a great tongue in cheek performance and a magical video too. Many thanks, so many versions posted here that I nearly overlooked this one. Outstanding and I loved the Rodgers style yodelling- many thanks
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.

Charlie prid new song

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.😅
@@davejoe2592 Where the heck he's got to now, we don't know...
Not the livestock George!
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 ?
@@justindempster4520this is a Jimmie rogers song. Basically among the first singers/bands labeled as country music
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.
This is by far the best version of this song ever performed.
i like johnny cash's better.
@monkmoto1887 is comme

Tim Blake Nelson should have a whole country album
Tim Blake Nelson's got a beautiful voice ;)

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
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!
I never miss a Tim Blake Nelson movie.
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.

Kevin Ball he’s not really, it ain’t racist if it’s true
Alfredo Pine it is though
It IS his voice.

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.

Hello Melissa
Sounds great
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..
Watched the film O Brother Where Art Thou so many times...brilliant cd. Good to be alive
So true. That film never gets old. Classic!
Tim Blake Nelson has this culture in his soul. Well done.
He is the actor that made the movie so great. Wish we could see more of Tim Nelson. Thanks for posting.
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...
i forget the name and i dont feel like looking it up can you tell me
nevermind its o brother where art thou
In the jailhouse now fellers, neighborhood of B
Priceless!
YES SON!
This is outstanding. Very good actor, GREAT singer. I wanna hear more.
Tim Blake Nelson can act and sing and doesn't get anywhere near the credit he deserves for it!
@@nny156 oh yeah maybe we can sign them on
@@nny156YUP..... we need a couple more like OL TBN around too
I think he's hot.
He had me in stitches all thru the movie. A very talented actor & singer.
We thought you were a Toad 😅
Tim Blake does this rendition as it was don in the late 1940s-early 1950s; brings back memories of my boyhood.
Well ain't this place just a geographic anomaly, two week from everywhere!"
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.
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 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
Nelson is one talented dude.
This is an absolutely wonderful version of this song; excellent job boys! It gives me true joy to listen to this.
My Christmas miracle this year would be for Tim Blake Neslon to release a Country and Western album
Hot damn, it's the Soggy Bottom Boys!
❤
These boys is not white! Hell they ain't even old timey! lol
Jacob Smith do you belong to a soitin’ secret societeh?
Is you is or is you ain't my constituents? Lol
Dees boys is masegenated!!

From The Movie:
O Brother
Where Art Thou
My dad had a band when I was growing up. This was my favorite song. Never thought I'd live it🤣
My favorite version of this song! I never knew he was actually singing it.
Fantastic- new movie called Old Henry featuring this talented guy- looks the goods team!!!
Can't stop thinking about Buster Scruggs when I hear this man sing!
Amazing
This dude was born to sing these types of songs. Talented man
I honestly did not know he actually sang this song. Makes me like it even more!
this is fantastic . . . one of the best movies i have ever seen . . .I'm with you fellers . .
Killer tune from a classic film.
Loved this song, this movie was back in 2000 called “O Brother Where Art Thou.”
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.
Union Station
Just love this film. Pure escapism for 2 hours or so. The songs and acting are what will make it a classic.
Escapism
Hot damn!! It's the Soggy Bottom Boys, again!!!!!!!
Well, almost.
Just found this. Great playlist! RIP Naomi
What a voice, its a time travels, and the sound of this duet its fantastic, amazing, perfect armony for the voice, yedol and Melody.
OT, but there was a short lived series called Chaos where Nelson played this super bad ass fighter who would take out the bad guys when needed. Fun show and I was sorry it only lasted one season.
I loved that short-lived show, too. I think CBS in their infinite wisdom canceled it mid-season.
I'm laying odds this movie winds up in the Library of Congress. Any takers?
Yes the soundtrack is pure American music!
Yes the soundtrack is pure American music
It should.
I'll always find myself trying to accompany that yodel never truly succeeding but always guaranteed to enjoy it
I love this, I also loved the movie "OH Brother where art thou?"
They threw in the Jimmie Rodgers Blue Yodel never expected that! Great version, I keep returning to enjoy this. Many thanks
My childhood is leaking through my eyes. Awe I love you guys 💗💗😍
Nelson plays the part so well. And the music is so perfectly classic. Three thumbs up!
I love this movie - & particularly this song! It never gets old!
Yeah, that's how you do it! 🤯
Got this song stuck in my head all day long. Singing it at work. First time watching this version, great song!
Tim Blake Nelson does the best rendition of in jail house now 👍
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.
Nelson is absolutely brilliant every time
Do not seek the treasure!

TBN is insanely talented. Band is solid, too.
Been stuck in my head all morning so here I am 😂
Love Tim Blake Nelson's work!
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. :^)
+Janet Jones I concur the dude sings mighty fine.
class film great song
Janet Jones He sings again in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
He played the cop in meet the fuckers. Great actor
"Well dam..Ill only be 82" *smiles weirdly*
Thank you for singing the full song for us. You're one of my favorite actors.
It's Buster Scruggs, the San Saba songbird!
😁
Turturo yodeling, Nelson singing, and Clooney begging with his wife. Memories forever!
Love me some Soggy Bottom Boys! Their music always puts me in a good mood!
The best version of this song ever done. Nelson's got it down pat. Nobody has ever done it better. He's also such a good actor that I wish we'd see more of him.
No. Jimmie Rodgers did it best, but this is a very close second.
I am in love with Tim Blake Nelson
Me too. Is that the singer of the the song, or the yodeler?
he is hot
you have left it clear :)
Connie Pirkle me too what? who?
Wait a minute there lady. Do you know who your talking about.
He is married with 3 sons
God I love the comments, every line of the movie......superb!!
Tim Blake Nelson sure can sing!
Love the totally deadpan expressions on their faces-yup, we're just workin' here, folks.
I don't listen to a lot of country, but the O Brother soundtrack was dope!
It's blue grass
Yeah, bluegrass and country are cousins of the same mother…
@@maxvilla5558
Not so. Old Timey, gospel, folk, all manner of things.
I have lived my whole life knowing this song. My family loved the soundtrack to O Brother Where Art Thou.
SO HOW DID I JUST FIND OUT ABOUT THIS MUSIC VIDEO
A Classic. Tim Blake Nelson Rocks !
Feels like something I would hear on the radio while patrolling the Mojave
!Best rendition ever!
Loved this song sung by Tim Nelson. I didn't know he could sing.
Now that's music for America men and a few women, everyone
Your Kidding me.He is not from the south?Well bravo.Sounds good enough to pass as a fellow Kentuckian to the east in Appalachia.
Hello how are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song.

Another massively underrated actor.
Okay, I'm with you fellas.
When I was a kid... I worked for a farmer in the Muleshoe, TX area.... He would sing this song about 2 to 3 times a week

Wonderful! Beautiful. Great sounds From Scotland
Wonderful rendition. Enjoyed it immensely.
