10. Cocaine Habit (Eutaw, 2001)

“Early Old Crow stuff. Very rootsy, old school bluegrass with an emphasis on the old mountain classics, the kind of songs that were written by god knows who and lasted for generations in the south. Wonderful music that makes you want to sit out on your old rickety porch and drink moonshine under a huge yellow moon.”

9. Big Time in the Jungle (Old Crow Medicine Show, 2004)

“I’m sure there must be others out there, but this song is unique in my experience: a song sung with a strong strong southern accent and sound, but also perfectly reflecting, long after the fact, the anti-war sensibilities of students of circa 1967. I don’t know anything about the song other than what I’ve heard listening to it – I really need to check out the history – but I find it to be a revelation – with a great sound!”

8. Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer (Remedy, 2014)

“Probably their best yet. Wild, raucous bluegrass with modern redneck writing. In my opinion, this is the best modern bluegrass band performing today, old time sound with totally modern lyrics, white trash at its finest.”

7. Alabama High-Test (Tennessee Pusher, 2008)

“OCMS is definitely thee BEST live band I’ve ever seen! And I’ve seen legends! There is no music video that will ever do their live performance any type of justice! Their energy radiates through the crowd and is unmatched by any other artist I’ve ever witnessed! these guys are definitely worth the drive!”

6. Sweet Amarillo (Remedy, 2014)

“Old Crow Medicine show is back and more amazing than ever. This is their best song since wagon wheel. I like it alot, great lyrics and these folks always make good music. They are fun to watch as well.”

5. Tell It To Me (Live, 2003)

“Tell it to me” is an old song from the later 1920s. The Tenneva Ramblers wrote it… “Cocaine habit blues” is also an old jug band tune. I’ll post once I have the rest of the info on it. Two completely different tunes by two completely different bands, and old crow just kind of turned them all around.. If most of you didn’t know, Wagon Wheel was originally a Bob Dylan song that Ketch rewrote.”

4. Down Home Girl (Big Iron World, 2006)

“This is a great band that just keeps producing fantastic music. I highly recommend this band and album to everyone. Deep seated bluegrass rhythm with an old-style bluesy feeling that reaches down and grabs your soul. This is exactly the type of sound that attracted me to the Medicine Show in the first place.”

3. I Hear Them All (Big Iron World, 2006)

“I like this song for two reasons. Firstly, verses one through three, while they can be interpreted as relevant to specific moment in history, can be viewed in a very general and universal sense. And second, the last verse combines many modern religions into one general faith. This, to me, suggests that they are all means to the same end.”

2. Take ’em Away (Old Crow Medicine Show, 2004)

“This is a solid gold jam. People who hear this song comment, “That’s a good song.” People who don’t even like bluegrass or folk or even country. Recommend this song to anyone. May be a good jam to introduce folks to mountain music.”

1. Wagon Wheel (Old Crow Medicine Show, 2004)

“Maybe the most loved song by fans of Old Crow Medicine Show. I think if there is any song by Old Crow that could be identified as their signature song it has to be “Wagon Wheel”. With its soulful lyrics and a catchy chorus this is one song that will stay on your mind long after the music is over. This was a song that Bob Dylan came up with the idea for and passed it along to Ketch Secor ond Old Crow to see what they could come up with. “
