Troubles Up and Down the Road

Old Crow Medicine Show

High-octane Appalachian grit recorded with the raw, unpolished urgency of a street performance. The definitive document of the band's early busking energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, percussive banjo roll that drives the opening of Rub Alcohol Blues into a fever pitch.
The early, unvarnished vocal delivery on Wagon Wheel that feels more like a campfire plea than a radio hit.
The sharp, mournful fiddle double-stops that cut through the rhythmic chug of Little Sadie.
