Old Crow Medicine Show
Encyclopedia : O : OL : OLD : Old Crow Medicine Show
Old Crow Medicine Show is a folk/country group from Nashville, Tennessee. Along with original songs, the band performs many pre-World War II blues and folk songs. The style of music they perform is sometimes called alt-country, some other times called "old-time"; but today more often referred to as Americana.
Their 2004 album O.C.M.S. was selected by CMT (Country Music Television) as one of the [top-10 bluegrass albums] of that year. Their current tour includes bars, festivals, and larger venues.
They make frequent guest appearances on A Prairie Home Companion.
The song "Wagon Wheel" is written based off a chorus composed by Bob Dylan for the film Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.
