y'all gotta love old crow. they play a great "tell it to me" and an even better "wagon wheel". if you haven't heard'm, download those two songs. great harmonies
old crow is awesome. in addition to those two i recommend "dont ride that horse," and "big time in the jungle"
I forgot how exactly I got into this band. Oh wait It just came to me. Watching the Alt. Country show at 2:30 in the morning on CMT. I won't regret that. Awesome band. And their cover of Wagon Wheel is one of my favorite songs.
Outstanding, if little-known band. Why is it the good country acts get sidelined in favor of crap festivals like Shania Twain?
marketing and catering to the lowest common denominator. Support folk music live. Hit up the fests, find the local venue that has it. I produce 90+ folk/Americana/Singer-songwriter/Old Time/ BG/ and all the new fusions every year, in one location.
old crow is great....theres a video on youtube of them with gillian welch playing the weight....... big iron world is a great album, so is eutaw...and i think anyone who does get an album of theirs will support live music...
I love old crow, I got to see them live the first time I ever heard them. A lot of people don't ever get past wagon wheel, ya really gotta listen to their other songs. Wagon wheel gets over played so badly here cause I live in Johnson City, TN and it mentions it in the song, haha. Every time I go to a bar a band is doing a cover of the song and always stops there so everyone can scream it. "I caught a trucker out of Philly Had a nice long toke But he's a headed west from the Cumberland Gap To Johnson City, Tennessee"
I was listening to wagon wheel in my dorm last year, stereo wasn't even up loud. The guy next door knocks and asks "What's that song called? I hear you listening to it all the time, I like it" That's the only OCMS song I've heard. I'll have to check out the others mentioned.
ketch, willie, and morgan from ocms are currently touring with gillian welch & david rawlings as the david rawlings machine...there are a few dates left, and i highly recommend catching one of these shows if you have the chance...saw a show earlier in the tour and it was fantastic 12/9 cedar cultural center minneapolis, mn 12/10 waiting room omaha, ne 12/11 granada theater lawrence, ks 12/13 the parish austin, tx 12/14 the parish austin, tx
Just found them - wagon wheel is great! Will have to have a listen to the others people ahve recomended. I love them so far
Little known? Go to any frat/sorority house or high school and everyone will know about Wagon Wheel. Song is way overplayed and not that great. Listen to their old stuff before OCMS. Greetings from wawa is their best CD hands down.
