Old Crow Medicine Show Shoot Music Video

The past few months have been nothing short of jam-packed for Old Crow Medicine Show (OCMS). The band took a break from their hectic touring schedule and met up with established photographer/director Danny Clinch in the Mid-City area of New Orleans to shoot the video for their latest single, "I Hear Them All," an anthem in the classic Woody Guthrie tradition.

The video features New Orleans local residents who each had their own inspirational stories regarding Hurricane Katrina, including George Porter Jr. of the legendary group The Meters, considered by many to be the Father of Funk. Band member Ketch Secor (vocals/fiddle/harmonica) commented: "Shooting this video in the Crescent City showed us first hand the strength and dedication of all those hardworking people committed to the rebuilding of New Orleans."

When asked about "I Hear Them All" recently on NPR's All Things Considered, Secor explained, "It's a song about listening with a collective ear to all the sounds of humanity."

"So while you sit and whistle Dixie with your money and your power. I can hear the flowers a-growin in the rubble of the towers. I hear leaders quit their lying. I hear babies quit their crying. I hear soldiers quit their dying, one and all."

Once the video shoot wrapped, OCMS traveled to Austin, TX where they made their Austin City Limits television debut. They then headed to Bonnaroo to play to a sold out crowd of over 25,000 people and quickly became a new favorite to media such as CNN, E! Entertainment and Spin.

In other news, OCMS has been nominated for an Americana Music Award in the category of "Best Duo Or Group." The awards are held November 1, 2007 at the historic Ryman Auditorium; other nominees in the category include Son Volt and The Avett Brothers.

Additionally, OCMS has collaborated with Marty Stuart on his newly released album, Compadres: An Anthology of Duets; Stuart and OCMS cover The Who's "I Can See for Miles," adding a fresh spin to a classic track.

As always, OCMS is constantly on the road; check out their current headlining tour dates below.
