We’re super excited to kick off December and the Christmas season with some of our dearest pals, Old Crow Medicine Show. They’ll be joining us on Monday, December 2nd at 4:00 PM for an intimate instore performance & album signing to celebrate the release of their first ever Christmas album, OCMS XMAS! Due out November 21st on limited edition green colored vinyl and CD, the album is available to preorder on our site here as well as in the record shop. All who preorder the album for local, event pickup will receive a wristband with purchase for the band’s signing. Like space in the record store, wristbands are limited; they’re required to participate in the signing for all 13+ and also guarantee entrance to our event.
Decorated with seasonal spirit and string-band stomp, it's the rare breed of Christmas record that packs a punch all year long, shining new light on the band's chart-topping version of American roots music. Old Crow Medicine Show aren't just reinterpreting their favorite yuletide standards; they're adding new songs to the canon, too, from "Jolly Man" - a country-blues number inspired by Mississippi John Hurt and laced with harmonica, sleigh bells, and resonator guitar - to the Zydeco-flavored "All About A Baby." A real legacy, indeed. Old Crow have thrived for more than a quarter century. Like many of their heroes, they've become torchbearers of classic folk music, reshaping those sounds for the modern world. They're creators, not replicators, and OCMS XMAS finds them tackling another tradition - the time-honored Christmas album - with humor, hillbilly twang, and novel ideas.
We can’t wait to see Old Crow pay some holiday tunes in the record shop and celebrate their new album with all of us and all of you! See you soon, Music City!
