The multi-talented King has been known for his audacious fusion of blues and hip-hop, but the New Orleans born artist reached a whole new audience with the Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," not only appearing on the award-winning soundtrack but playing a prominent supporting character as well. Despite the much-celebrated, down-to-earth rootsiness of "O Brother's" music, King had previously been a determined progressive, hoping to reinvigorate the blues as a living African American art with a more contemporary approach and refusing to treat it as a museum piece whose "authentic" forms needed careful preservation.
