"If you're not a right winger we'll all have a Humdinger..."

Alright I'm going to try and start rotating newer and older music. It'd be pretty boring if all I did was talk about old shit, right?

I had always been kind of indifferent about Old Crow Medicine Show until around 3 to 4 years ago. Thought some of their songs were catchy, but it wasn't anything to write home about. Then I got the chance to see them live with the company of two of my favorite friends, hot sun and a pale ale. Within minutes of them strumming those open chords and singing with a heavy twang, my arms were flapping and my feet were moving in a motion that would only be described as dancing by the people in the audience who were smoking, snorting and drinking what O.C.M.S. were singing about.

The five piece Nashville bluegrass band has recently released their latest and in my opinion, greatest.... 'Tennessee Pusher." All the tracks vividly tell stories, and the playing on every song is tighter than John McCain's asshole. My personal favorite track on the album is 'Motel in Memphis,' somberly telling the story of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It's not always serious business with O.C.M.S. though, as they seem to always have a party favorite on their albums, and on this one no doubt it's 'Humdinger.' How can you go wrong with a song about wine, whiskey, women and guns? Make sure you give this a listen, you can learn more at http://www.crowmedicine.com/.
