Talk:Old Crow Medicine Show

The song has been covered by an increasing number of acts since its release in 2004, including versions by Little Feat, Mumford & Sons, and Against Me!. Singer-songwriters Tyler Hilton and Dion Roy, along with country duo Dakota and Will, performed the song together throughout their 2012 tour.  Former Hootie and the Blowfish singer, Darius Rucker, joined Old Crow at the Grand Ole Opry July 6, 2012 "for a special rendition of ‘Wagon Wheel.’"  He covers the song, as a duet with Lady Antebellum, on his True Believers album.

It was their first extended trip together, the Trans Canada Highway Tour in 1998, that originally defined the group as they "busked their buns off for the folks at the Farmers Market in Ottawa and the Fork's Market in Winnipeg."  It might be said "if it weren't for music fans in Ladysmith, British Columbia and Wawa, Ontario there might not be an Old Crow Medicine Show." Their experiences in Wawa actually inspired their first record "Greetings from Wawa". At one point the band was making almost seven hundred dollars a day busking. As Secor explains: "We lived like KINGS in Ottawa! We all had girlfriends and thought we were going to live there."
One fateful afternoon, while busking in front of Boone Drug in downtown Boone, North Carolina "a middle-aged woman stopped to listen." Leaving, she said "she wanted to bring her father over to hear them." She returned with Doc Watson, blind. They "struck up 'Oh My Little Darling,' a well-known old-time song they thought Doc would like." Watson said: "Boys, that was some of the most authentic old-time music I've heard in a long while. You almost got me crying." He asked them to play at Merlefest, "a four-day festival held every year at Wilkes Community College in honor of Watson's late son and collaborator Merle, who died in a tractor accident." This big break led the group to Nashville and on to major success.
They remain committed to busking as a way to stay connected to the people they're trying to reach.

'ATO is based in New York City and distributes through RED Distribution, Sony Music's independent-distribution arm . . The song with "such a pleasurable melody and such discomfiting politics that it has fascinated Secor since he was a kid in Virginia" led him to write “Carry Me Back to Virginia,” for the new album. As Secor reveals:
"This record sounds like we would've if we were any good 14 years ago." 
As a blog critic puts it: "OCMS aren't simply repeating or rehashing the past. They're adding to and expanding upon a musical genre that remains vital and relevant."--Artaxerxes (talk) 19:31, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

"I think we were a bit ahead of the curve," Fuqua adds. 
Secor concurs: "Those boys took the message and ran with it."
Graham Sherrill, co-founder of Westbound Rangers, remembers:
Kurt Loewen, guitarist for "the mostly acoustic" Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra, a group that's "clearly cutting-edge in its musical ancientness" concurs:
Whiskey Shivers from Austin, Texas, a quintet that brings "its ragged harmonies and hard-driving rhythms with it" on its "mission of punk-fueled picking and singing," shows the "unorthodox, youth-charged, string band movement of Appalachia (think Old Crow Medicine Show or the Hackensaw Boys) has spread well to the west and south," according to one music reviewer.  Groups like these "seem to have the energy of a punk band, but instead of pure metal, you get thrashing banjo and high-octane fiddle runs."

Secor reflects: "I feel a little bit like a conduit, as a folksong writer." Secor has also "matured into a master of the songwriting bait-and-switch":
As to his take on the age-old soldier-dying-in-battle song in "Levi", Secor says: "It's not all that talk about all the eagles soaring. I don't like that kind of song, and I am out to undo that kind of song."

But by the early 1990s, the era of punk rock and grunge, Secor and Fuqua were "learning to play antiquated unamplified instruments and borrowing songs from their fathers,’ grandfathers’ and even great-grandfathers’ generations." Fuqua remembers . .
This path from punk to old-time they share with other acts, many of whom have followed their lead, and for the same reason . .

text: In the "historic path of Americana music" Old Crow helps hand the tradition from such acts as Emmylou Harris and Gillian Welch on to groups like Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons, being "the old meeting the new"—old-time string band music fueled by punk rock energy—contributing to a "revival" with "acoustic punk bands all over the place." On a "mission of punk-fueled picking and singing,"  groups like Old Crow "seem to have the energy of a punk band, but instead of pure metal, you get thrashing banjo and high-octane fiddle runs."
. . a link in the chain established in the article, with properly-referenced sources, who are not promoters of the band.  Half of the comments relate to other acts.  Promotional material does not generally include proper references, nor does it find its most promising material from non-biased reviewers. It is the proper place of an encyclopedic article to help tell the history of a genre of music and how a particular act fits in.  If this has not been established properly in the article itself, or the sources are questionable, this is what should be addressed first.  Perhaps IP address would like to take the time to review the article carefuly, considering sources used to build its content, then prepare text of his own that might bolster the lede (to meet Wikipedia policies and guidelines), text that would better meet his standards.

message: Old Crow Medicine Show has had enough impact that its Wikipedia presence should be something more than an advertising site for the band.  One really ought to be able to wikipedia them and read material that is more nuanced and which critically appraises the strengths and weaknesses of such a big-name band.  One ought to be able to find links to some of the various write-ups done on the band over the years without having to resort to the "talk" page.
Among these would be, for example, mine:
Tom Pickerell
Mountain Courier
November 2011
:Old Crow aims primarily at a particular part of America youth culture in the upper South. As such, it plays a brand of Americana that relishes terms such as "old time" and "string band" but does not dwell overlong on what they mean.  They are not aiming at true folk art (thank God) and their music and vocal styling are not more than superficially tied to the deep river of folk music of the Southern Appalachians.  And yet they pay it tribute in every line of their lyrics.  The boys don't frail on open-backed claw-hammer banjos any more than they play three-finger rolls at 90 miles a minute.  I read an interview where one of them spoke of his years of animosity toward the mandolin.  Instead, they feature a 6-string banjo tuned like a guitar, an unattested instrument that is cool in its way but which won't get one very far in old-time string band music.  And that's OK with Old Crow.  They are aiming at a generally youthful audience that is not especially interested in the techniques of the tradition but that is connected to it emotionally at multiple levels.  Bands in the deeper South have sought to make music that links to their region and their past and have produced rumbling delta blues inflected "Southern Gothic" songs of swamps, sugar cane, and loose living.  While the sound is very different and the themes in Southern Gothic often dwell on darker and grittier aspects of what is unkindly referred to as "white trash" culture, the overall musical template is roughly parallel.
:The cultural background from which the band pulls, however superficially, in the Shenandoah Valley is not gothic or grotesque.  The Valley's vegetation is not the lush carpet of the deep south nor is its history as polarized.  Most farmers in the Shenandoah valley before the Civil War were German and Swiss farmers who came to the country without slaves and between large families, medium-sized farms, and hard work, rarely discovered a need for them as time went on.  The Valley was and is a relatively egalitarian place without the harsh differences between rich and poor or between white and black of the deep South.  Its people love their heritage of agriculture, old-time music, moonshine, clogging, dressing Amish even if you aren't, and being friendly.  The Valley is America at its finest and the boys know it.  This is not to say that the it doesn't have its social pathologies, a less than ideal education system, and those who capture a whiff of its promise and its essence in a bottle only to leave you disappointed as you drink more deeply.
:Sure, Old Crow could be more than it is if it dipped more deeply into the tradition.  But some of that dipping takes years and some of it can never be learned.  I personally think they do fine with what they have.  They continue to write great songs that long to be, and often are, steeped with a rich sense of place.    They don't have the gravitas of Gillian Welch and David Rawlings but they do have a true regional identity.  Gillian and David do old-timey stuff, also with variation and departure from the tradition but they aren't from the South.  Allusions to the Civil War and to fighting in the Iraq War don't grace their songs they way they do Old Crow's.  That said, they were right there with Old Crow at the beginning but have gone on to be much more focused as writers and musicians, and have achieved an greater level of maturity in their work, and, one suspects, their life.
:Most bands get into the ring with outrageous amounts of energy and talent but they just don't deliver on their real potential.  They never get the depth.  Sometimes you get the sense that it's because they don't take any time out from playing and partying to read, travel, listen, or think.  Few enough of us do, past the age of 30.  Old Crow is probably OK with being just what they are.  Personally, I would love them to be more but it's not me in that ring.  I can sit and listen and study old time music and folkways with all the free time I have that comes from not being in a band.  So I'll cut them some slack but probably hold off, for a few years, on buying too many albums.

After "playing in garage and punk bands in the region" he "started playing old time music with this band called The Speakeasy Boys, which was a rag-tag bunch of kids that just graduated college that ran their own speakeasy in this college town, Shepherdstown, West Virginia."

replies: text: Chance McCoy—who grew up in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, but was born in Washington, D.C.—joined just prior to the Carry Me Back promotional tour in 2012. As a teacher of old-time music at Augusta Heritage Center of Davis & Elkins College in Elkins, West Virginia he'd attracted the attention of the group who "wanted to get Old Crow back together and on the road again." "He got the gig" because Secor "knew that anyone who worked at Augusta knew all about old-time music."--Artaxerxes (talk) 14:05, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

:Shortly after their Opry debut, the group signed with Bobby Cudd at Monterey Peninsula Artists, who also represented Robert Earl Keen, the Dave Matthews Band, Chris Isaak, Aerosmith, and Fiona Apple. They went on their "first real tour" May 2001, opening for the Del McCoury band. Appearances at the 2003 South by Southwest (SXSW) in Austin—a "scene" that's "all about getting behind young artists", as Secor puts it—led to the group being signed by Nettwerk, securing their recording future for the next several years. Their first Nettwerk offering, Old Crow Medicine Show in 2004 (popularly known as O.C.M.S.), was produced by Dave Rawlings and mixes "old blues and jug band music with originals that fit smoothly into the tradition"—including the Fuqua "Take 'em Away" and Secor "Wagon Wheel". More than 100,000 copies of O.C.M.S. were sold, behind a "rigorous tour schedule and a memorable live show"; what CMT regarded as "an impressive number for a new band that didn't know much about record deals and everything that goes with it."
:Big Iron World (2006), another Rawlings production, added a sense of urgency on new songs like "I Hear Them All". They recorded Tennessee Pusher (2008) in Hollywood with producer Don Was, "rocking harder" with "Alabama High Test" and "Methamphetamine". Secor says the band "figured they'd take some leftover material from the first album, add a few traditional songs and suddenly have a new record." But, he says . .
:
 The Big Surprise Tour featuring Old Crow, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings, the Felice Brothers, and Justin Townes Earle kicked off in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire August 2009.  The "nine-stop tour" included shows in Knoxville, Nashville, Boston, New York and Philadelphia—and "mark(ed) the first major showcasing of the Dave Rawlings Machine."
:In April 2011 the group joined Mumford and Sons and Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros on The Railroad Revival Tour, a tour inspired by the Festival Express tour across Canada in 1970 that included Buddy Guy, Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, and The Band. Traveling exclusively in vintage rail cars, the three bands performed in six "unique outdoor locations" over the course of a week starting in Oakland, California.The Railroad Revival Tour  tour info.  They appear in the musical documentary about the tour, Big Easy Express directed by Emmett Malloy, which premiered March 2012 at the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival (SXSW Film) in Austin, Texas—winning the Headliner Audience Award.
 Big Easy Express won the Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video in 2013.--Artaxerxes 20:13, 18 August 2019 (UTC)

message: The origin of the band is listed as Harrisonburg, VA. However, if you read the history section it appears that the first time the band fully assembles and is named Old Crow Medicine Show is in Ithaca, NY.
