This week, the week of April 25-29, 2016, we will look at songs from real bands...for fake bands.

We call it:  "Don't look behind the curtain..."

April 28, 2016

Throughout musical history there have been those who never got their due credit.  Either they slaved away as session musicians making the stars sound good but never seeing the spotlight or the money from it, or they had their music used by other bands.

Sometimes their music was created to make a fake band.

These are some of those.

In movie filled with great music from talented people one song is probably the most remembered...and the only one to reach the charts

There are different versions of the song throughout the film and the album.

The song made it to #35 on the Country Chart in the US and one a grammy for  Dan Tyminski (lead vocal on "Man of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band's Pat Enright.
