I would like this O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. From my music wishlist.

On the film's [soundtrack album] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B00004XQ83/ref=cm_ciu_pdp_images_3?ie=UTF8&index=3) both versions of Man of Constant Sorrow and Tim Blake Nelson's rendition of In The Jailhouse Now are credited simply to The Soggy Bottom Boys.
Online sources identify the members of the "real" Soggy Bottom Boys as Dan Tyminski, Harley Allen, and Pat Enright. Of these, only Tyminski is a member (or has any substantial affiliation) with Union Station. It's likely that other musicians participated in the "Soggy Bottom" sessions, and it's possible that some of these other players were members of Union Station as well... but I haven't found any documentation for this online. The liner notes may shed some light, but I lost my hard copy of this album many years ago.
So while it's true that Man of Constant Sorrow was for years (and may still be) a staple of Alison Krauss and Union Station's live shows, I have found nothing to suggest that it originated as a Union Station song.

One interesting thing I did learn for certain was that John Turturro was not the voice behind the falsetto breaks on In the Jailhouse Now; those were done by [Pat Enright] (http://www.nashvillebluegrassband.net/patenright.html).
