...karaoke hit in 1994, which she quickly parlayed into mass fame on the Chinese mainland. Disney hired her to do the Chinese voice-over for the movie Mulan (Celine Dion's big break, remember, was voicing Beauty and the Beast). Later one of her songs was chosen for the soundtrack to The Runaway Bride, the Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romance flick. CoCo's current goal is nothing less than to demolish the pop-music divide between East and West, and a big step was surely keeping her underwear unexposed at the Oscars in front of a billion television viewers...

The short also features yards of cable, black goop...
...ragtime remains to be seen, but at the very least this fascinating collection gives a welcome airing to some of American music's most seminal components, from prison-gang hollers to children's sing-alongs. Although it's dominated by artists mostly associated with bluegrass, the "O Brother" soundtrack covers an era that slightly predates that style, as befits a movie...
