Groupe Folk US composé de Critter Fuqua, Kevin Hayes, Morgan Jahnig, Ketch Secor et Willie Watson.
Mountain
music revivalists Old Crow Medicine Show spin traditional folk and bluegrass
yarns with a rock & roll attitude. Critter
Fuqua, Kevin
Hayes, Morgan
Jahnig, Ketch
Secor, and Willie
Watson may specialize in rags, hollers, and pre-World
War II blues, but they were weaned on Nirvana and Public Enemy. The quintet
members — who are all from different states — met in New York, hit the road,
played before an impressed Doc Watson in
front of a North Carolina pharmacy, and were promptly scheduled to play the folk
icon's Merlefest. Old Crow Medicine Show relocated to Nashville, found
themselves gracing the stage at the Grand Ole Opry, opened for the likes of
Dolly Parton and
the Del McCoury Band, toured with
Merle Haggard and
Marty Stuart, and appeared on NPR's
Prairie Home Companion. They signed to Nettwerk America in 2003, began
crafting their own compositions among the jug band standards and reels that had
become the backbone of the group, and went into the studio to make a record with
Gillian Welch's other half, guitarist David Rawlings, at the helm. The self-titled
debut, which was recorded in RCA's legendary Studio B (Elvis
Presley, Waylon Jennings) as well
as Woodland Sound Studios (Nitty Gritty Dirt
Band), arrived the following year. The group's second album, Big Iron
World was produced by Rawlings and appeared in August of 2006. The band then
switched producers, going with Don Was for 2008's Tennessee Pusher. Carry
Me Back, produced by Ted Hutt, was released four years later in 2012. In the
summer of 2013, the band (now an octet) released the three-song EP Carry Me Back
to Old Virginia, which consisted of the title track, a newly recorded version of
"Ain't It Enough," and a cover of Alabama's
"Dixieland Delight." Hutt returned to produce the group's 2014 effort, Remedy,
an album heavily influenced by folk music that would go on to earn a Grammy
Award for Best Folk Album of the Year.
Over the next few years, Old Crow Medicine Show continued to tour, and in early
2017 they released the compilation The Best of Old Crow Medicine Show. Not long
afterward, they announced they had signed with Columbia Nashville. The first
record the band released for the label was 50 Years of Blonde on Blonde, which
consisted of Old Crow Medicine Show performing the legendary Bob Dylan album in
its entirety at the Country Music Hall of Fame in May 2016. It appeared in April
2017. Coinciding with Old Crow Medicine Show's 20th anniversary, they recorded
their sixth album, 2018's Volunteer, at Nashville's famed RCA Studio A with
producer Dave Cobb.
