Old Crow Medicine Show Unveils New Album Due In June

/by

Old Crow Medicine Show will unveil their new album Union Made on June 5 on Hartland Records via Firebird Music.

The project features appearances from nearly a dozen guests including Maggie Rose, Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker, Jesse Welles, John Carter Cash and Ana Cristina Cash. The projects reflects upon the people, places and stories of America.

“This is a fascinating time in our short history as a nation,” Secor says. “We wanted to meet that moment by collecting a bunch of songs that speak to the joys and potentials, the rights and the wrongs of where we are today, where we’re going, and what can embolden us to have a more perfect union in the future. There are wonderful, ghostly American sounds that only bands steeped in folk music traditions know how to conjure, and it seems like an important time for those voices to be heard.”

The first preview, “My Side Of The Mountain,” is available now. Written by Ketch Secor, Molly Tuttle and Luke Combs, the song features Tuttle, Del McCoury and Ronnie McCoury.

“Molly Tuttle and I got together with Luke Combs to write this song,” shares Secor. “Both Luke and I owe a lot to the scenic town of Boone, high in the hills of westernmost North Carolina where the song is set. Another musician with deep roots in the area is Bluegrass legend Del McCoury. ‘My Side of the Mountain’ celebrates the distinct culture and sound of the Appalachian people of WNC, some of our country’s most self-reliant folk. This song is for them.”

The band also recently announced the first ever vinyl release of their 2006 sophomore album Big Iron World, remastered by producer David Rawlings and been on the road this year for their “Back to the Roots Tour.”
