Now, I Get It

I didn't get it at first.


I've heard their music and liked it, but I didn't get the fascination with them.


I bought their album and liked it, but I still didn't really get it.


Musicians, music fans, and hipsters-assholes all love them..........but, I didn't really understand why.


Then, I saw them live.


Holy fucking shit. Now, I get it.


I finally understand why everyone makes such a big deal about Old Crow Medicine Show. First off, I wanted tickets because I am completely in love with the band that was going to be opening for them, Shovels & Rope. They are amazing. If you haven't heard of them, look them up and buy their new album.





And, after hearing Old Crow Medicine Show's new album I figured "hey, I like bluegrass......this will be fun."


I didn't realize that each member of the band is an absolutely outstanding musician. I didn't realize how they could command a stage and a crowd.


Honestly, I thought it was all hype. Well, it's not. If you like anything relating to the old country sound, you have to see Old Crow Medicine Show live.
