Old Crow Medicine Show - Jubilee - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2014 from the American string band. The band got it's' start busking on street corners in New York state and up through Canada, winning audiences along the way with their boundless energy and spirit.

With three of the country's most innovative drummers on board, the bows, strings and resin have been replaced by sticks, metal and a variety of drums. Steamdome is seething with visual energy.
