>I'd be more excited if M. Mumford weren't T-Bone's main consultant
I thought the Coen-bros (and T-bone for that matter) were cooler than that. Of course, dude can still have great taste regardless of how lame his band is-Bono has a great taste in music for example and yet makes the worst crap himself so it really doesn't matter...

I would think Someone like Tom Paxton would have been able to do a fine job while actually being able to offer first-person insight. He could probably use the cash as well.
He's managed to dig up some pretty authentic talent when mining for gems in the past - Norman Blake, Tim Eriksen, Riley Baugus. Of course these guys appear on the marquee well below Allison Krauss or even Sting, but whatever.
He's got a ton of material to choose from here so hopefully it's not all bobby and Joanie. The fact that they've got JT singing a Hedy West song (albeit a well-covered one) may be a good sign.
