From the backwoods of bum-fuck nowhere comes Old Crow Medicine Show. O.C.M.S. is the bluegrass string band's fourth full length release. The first thing that caught my attention about it was the vocal harmony. It's flawlessly imperfect. Clearly, none of the vocalists have any classical training, but their wailing and warbling lends itself perfectly to this type of backwoods Appalachian folk music. Guitar, mandolin, banjo, string bass, fiddle, and harmonica all make appearances on songs that range from traditional pre-WWII folk songs to originals that can appeal to hipsters and hillbillies alike.
Sometimes it's slow and mournful, other times it's a foot-stomping, knee-slapping hoedown, but Old Crow Medicine Show is always a good choice.
