Avicii and Dan Tyminski deliver "Hey Brother"

After the big hit called "Wake Me Up", Avicii (aka Tim Bergling,  is a Swedish DJ, remixer, and record producer) follows up with another called "Hey Brother".  What struck me about this is the fact that the actual song performer is Dan Tyminski who's "Man of Constant Sorrow" was such a hit in a movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?".   That's a bluegrass taken to the next level.  More info from Wiki:
Daniel John "Dan" Tyminski (born June 20, 1967) is an American bluegrass composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist. He is a member of the band Alison Krauss and Union Station and has released two solo albums, Carry Me Across the Mountain (2000), on the Doobie Shea Records label, and Wheels (2008), on the Rounder Records label.[2] He is best known for his updated version of the song "Man of Constant Sorrow," which was featured in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and won the 2001 CMA award for best single as well as a Grammy Award for best Country Collaboration with Vocals (along with Harley Allen and Pat Enright, filling out the vocals for the movie's Soggy Bottom Boys). In total, he has won 14 Grammy awards[3] for solo and collaborative projects.
