Old Crow Medicine Show

[Dan:]

I remember from the music thread that there are a lot of bluegrass fans on here so I wanted to see what anyone thinks of Old Crow Medicine Show. I am not really a huge bluegrass fan or anything, but I really enjoy them. I guess they are kind of a pop bluegrass type of band. They have some talented musicians and a singer with a nasal but very enjoyable voice. Also, as I am learning to play harmonica, I have to say their harmonica player has some skill, especially in their more recent albums. My favorite songs of theirs are:

Big Time in the Jungle

Wagon Wheel (reworking of an unrecorded Bob Dylan song from what I hear)

My Good Gal

Tear It Down

Down Home Girl

Don't Ride That Horse

Minglewood Blues

Down South Blues

and of course,

James River Blues

If you want to buy their CDs, I would recommend Big Iron World, O.C.M.S., and Eutaw in that order.
