Old Crow Medicine Show

... who spin traditional folk and bluegrass yarns with a rock & roll attitude (from Spotify).

They sing about love and friendship, parties and hardships and drugs, and about how we're all in this thing together. In Next Go 'Round I sing along to how we'd do it if we got another chance, but as we all know, in this life, we don't get no next go 'round. No do-overs. So wonderfully melancholic.

Highway Halo - Shine like gold!
Methamphetamine - It's gonna have you beggin' pretty pleeeeease!
Caroline - There ain't no way we can be so free as we were back in -83! So what's the use in even tryyyiiing!?
Hard To Love I wish I was a pretty little bird, I wish I was a pretty little beeeeeeee!
Wagon Wheel Johnson City, Tennesseeeee!
James River Blues - I'll becooome a memoryyyyy!

These are just some of my favourites (with the lines to really sing your heart out to, all the way from your toes) but there are so many great songs on the six albums they've put out so far. And for those of you unfortunate enough not to have Spotify you should go to Old Crow's website.

And enjoy!
