Old Crow Medicine Show Drops Latest Album, ‘Union Made’
Old Crow Medicine Show recently unveiled their latest album, “Union Made,” a compilation that delves into the American journey, as expressed by the group. Ketch Secor, the band’s frontman, highlighted the essence of America as an ongoing dialogue, at times harmonious and other times contentious, yet always an unfinished narrative. “Union Made” stands as their contribution to this narrative, songs that pay homage to the people, locations, and customs that unite individuals despite external forces that often seek to divide them.
The recording process took place at the Hartland studio, providing the band with a space that facilitated the organic evolution of the tracks. As Morgan Jahnig, a longstanding member of the band and the album’s producer, noted, the environment enabled friends and collaborators to bring their unique perspectives to the mix, resulting in a collective effort that surpassed the initial vision of any single individual, transforming into a true community endeavor. With the tracks taking form in their East Nashville studio, the band was able to nurture the songs into a reflection of their shared experiences and values.
The album features a diverse array of songs, each offering a unique perspective on different facets of Americana. From “Howdy Do America” featuring Jesse Welles to “Lincoln Highway,” the tracklist explores themes such as landscapes, historical events, and personal journeys. Collaborations with artists like Del McCoury, Evan Felker, and Maggie Rose add depth and texture to the project, elevating the songs into multidimensional narratives that resonate with audiences on a profound level.
In addition to the album release, Old Crow Medicine Show has announced an extensive tour schedule, bringing their music to fans across various cities and countries. From Paris, Tennessee to Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain, the band will share their distinctive sounds with audiences eager to experience their unique blend of folk, country, and bluegrass. With performances scheduled at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheatre and Fenway Park, the band’s live shows promise to be dynamic, energetic, and memorable experiences for attendees.
As Old Crow Medicine Show continues to captivate audiences with their latest album and upcoming tour, their commitment to creating music that reflects the spirit of America remains unwavering. With “Union Made,” the band invites listeners to join in the celebration of shared values, connections, and stories that unite individuals across diverse backgrounds and experiences. Through the power of music, Old Crow Medicine Show aims to foster a sense of community and camaraderie that transcends borders, genres, and differences, creating a space where all individuals can come together in harmony and appreciation of the rich tapestry of American culture.
