Radio New Zealand listeners will be familiar with the Old Crow Medicine Show through their frequent appearances on the show A Prairie Home Companion.
Discovered by bluegrass pioneer Doc Watson in 2000, while they were busking outside a pharmacy in the touristy town of Boone in North Carolina, Watson took
them under his wing and it wasn't long before their unique sound earned them a studio contract and appearances on the Grand Ole Opry.
Ketch Secor and Critter Fuqua bonded over a passion for Bob Dylan's music and built Old Crow's sound on a harmony heavy old timey string band recreation.
Other members of the band have come, gone or stayed, on their way to a multi album career, a Grammy for their 2013 release Remedy taking out the best folk music gong.
The song Wagon Wheel has an interesting back-story as Old Crow's Critter Fuqua liked a snippet of a Bob Dylan song, Rock Me Mama, from the movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid, which he re-worked into what became their signature tune, and became a platinum seller.
