GET TO KNOW OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW.
Old Crow Medicine Show draw on old-time string-band music, folk, blues, and country, but the result is more than a historical exercise. The Nashville-based group put their own songs beside older repertoire, treating acoustic music as a living, social form. Their recording career includes O.C.M.S., Big Iron World, Tennessee Pusher, and Carry Me Back, while ‘Wagon Wheel’ became the best-known bridge between that string-band identity and a much broader country audience.
Fiddle, banjo, harmonica, and rhythmic acoustic playing give the music a loose, bustling quality. The important contrast is between the communal energy of an ensemble performance and the pointed details of an individual story, whether the material is old or newly written.
ALBUMS & RELEASES.
O.C.M.S.
The album associated with their version of ‘Wagon Wheel.’
Big Iron World
Continues the mix of original writing and roots repertoire.
Carry Me Back
A later collection of string-band storytelling.
PAST TOURS & LIVE ROOTS.
The band’s recorded history reaches back to the late 1990s, with the early studio albums establishing repertoire that travelled well beyond a specialist old-time audience. ‘Wagon Wheel’ became widely covered, helping introduce listeners to the group’s own version of string-band performance.
COLLABORATIONS & CONNECTIONS.
‘Wagon Wheel’ carries a songwriting connection with Bob Dylan and was later recorded by Darius Rucker. Those are different relationships: shared writing credits in the original song’s history and a subsequent interpretation by another performer, rather than one three-way studio collaboration.
