New music from Old Show Medicine Show is something fans have been missing. Their last studio album was way back in 2008.
The band is just as excited, with members saying their return kinda reminds them of the first time they rolled into town!
"I
think it was 2000 we came down the mountain like a bunch of hillbillies
in a black caddy limo we bought from a funeral home in Kingsport"
laughs band member Ketch Secor.
The guys say they needed some time to remember what made being on stage exciting.
"We took that time and realized it was the kinship and brother hood of being in a band" says Ketch.
That brotherhood is exactly what brought back one of the groups founding members.
"Taking
this time off and coming back. It's so much fun. This album is so much
fun to play on stage live" says returning member Critter Fequa.
The
band made some appearances here and there, but with this album comes
the full comeback. 12 tracks with favorites like "Bootleggers Boy"
"It's a moonshine tune about making whiskey and bringing it to the city" says Secor.
Another
favorite is a song called "Levi", a song written about a fallen solider
who had their old song "Wagon Wheel" played at his funeral.
"Hearing
that and knowing we had a positive effect on someone like Levi, I
thought let's write a song for Levi, but not just for him but all the
soldiers that give of themselves and some don't come back" says Ketch
Six guys made up of members old and new, with the sound they've had since coming to Nashville a decade ago.
"We
always may be part of that rabble rousing black sheep, the way we play
our old time music. That is alright, they appreciate that. Someone has
to raise a little hell at the family reunion" laughs Ketch.
You
can see Old Crow Medicine Show LIVE at the Fontanel July 28th. Joining
them will be another reunion group. The original line up of BR5-49 will
also play that night.
Old Crow Medicine Show's new album Carry Me Back is available now!

Tenn. Powerball ticket worth $1 million
May 19, 2013 18:44 GMT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Powerball ticket sold in Tennessee barely missed winning a share of an estimated $590.5 million prize. But the ticket has a nice consolation prize worth $1 million.
Officials say the Powerball ticket worth $1 million was sold in Chattanooga.
There's no word yet on who won.
A Powerball ticket sold at a supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., matched all six numbers selected Saturday night for the estimated $590.5 million prize. It's the highest Powerball jackpot in history.
The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22 and 52, with a Powerball of 11.
