message: This article, I believe is incorrect in its ascertaining that Tommy Johnson is based on Robert Johnson. Tommy Johnson (no relation to Robert) was the first to have the story of the crossroads told about him. Tommy was a blues guitarist and his biggest hit was "Canned Heat Blues" because he was such a bad alcoholic that he would get cans of sterno and drink the liquid fuel in the cans. That's what the song's about. There are many who say Robert only told people about his 'deal with the devil' because he had heard of Tommy Johnson's "deal" and thought the talk of it might be sensational and help his career.
As an aside, in a different movie - Crossroads, starring Ralph Macchio and Joe Seneca, a secondary character in a juke joint is called "Lydale", which ironically was Tommy Johnson's brother and a minister who told everyone about his brother's deal with the devil. Lydale is the creator of this folklore.
I would like to change the bullet point about Tommy Johnson's role to reflect true history.

message: Is the setting really 1937? The film has Baby Face Nelson in it, who died in 1934.
Is this artistic muddling of facts or is the claimed 1937 setting wrong?

message: The article says:
“… the soundtrack won a Grammy Award for Album of the Year in 2002, making it the only motion picture soundtrack to have ever received the accolade.”
Is this accurate? Didn’t Saturday Night Fever and The Bodyguard also both win Album of the Year? 75.147.166.213 (talk) 15:25, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

message: I'm new to editing Wikipedia articles! And for one of my classes, it is required to edit one article! I love this film and have loved it for some time. I thought it would be a easy edit to add a few similarities between "O Brother" and Homer's "The Odyssey". For example, both the film and the poem have a Cyclops, or at least a Cyclops-like figure, both have Sirens, and both  have the same basic storyline and ending. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you! Droopykitten612 (talk) 18:53, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
