Alright, this is going to be the last Old Crow Medicine Show related post for a while, but I had to share this great article. It's really well writen biography of the bands humble and idealistic beginnings to the depressing realities of Nashville and living from check to check rather than day to day....'...a reactionary founding philosophy that has prompted boldly archaic career moves: The two years before Nashville were spent hoboing quixotically across Canada and back, then living in self-imposed squalor in the mountains of North Carolina. They brought music nobody really played anymore to towns where no other touring performer would stop to use the bathroom...'...'People backstage start clapping, laughing, shouting joyous profanities. Before the song is even over, some people in the audience are already on their feet. When the song ends, the whole house jumps up, erupting in applause.'...'Morgan is computer-proficient, so he built a Web site for the band, and on the road he charts the fastest routes between cities with the global positioning software on his laptop, a job previously handled by Ketch, a geography whiz since high school, who would trace routes in an atlas with his finger, naming quaint stop-offs that weren't on the map. '...Makes me think of the Kurt Vonnegut short story Poor Little Rich Town. Just because you can make something more efficient, doesn't mean you are making it better.Heres thier latest music video for Down Home Girl, I love the old guy at the end.
