Ralph Stanley of The Stanley Brothers personally recorded the a cappella folk vocal "O Expiry".^{[5] [vi]}

"I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" has five variations: two are used in the flick, one in the music video, and two in the album. Two of the variations feature the verses being sung back-to-dorsum, and the other iii variations feature boosted music betwixt each poetry.^[seven] The voices of the Soggy Bottom Boys were provided by Dan Tyminski (pb vocal on "I Am a Human of Constant Sorrow"), Nashville songwriter Harley Allen, and the Nashville Bluegrass Band'southward Pat Enright.^[viii]
