Old Crow Medicine Show

This rootsy Nashville string ensemble started as a group of buskers roaming through Canada, before catching the ear of country legend Doc Watson. The group’s 1920s-style instrumentation is harmonica-laced and heavy on fiddle, banjo and slide guitar, but its revivalism doesn’t bar relevance to younger listeners. Its renditions of classics are subtly rocked up, and in its bulkier repertoire of original compositions, bluegrass strains accompany lyrics about contemporary gripes. Here the band plays a special set: interpretations of the classic songs from Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde as heard on the band's recent tribute cover album.
