Remedy (ATO Records), the new album from the Grammy Award-winning Old Crow Medicine Show, has had an incredible first week on all fronts. Remedy’s July 1st release, marks the band’s highest debut on the Billboard Top 200 (#15) in the band’s 16 year career. The album currently holds the #4 position on the Top Country Albums Chart, and #1 on the Folk Albums Chart, accurately representing the broad cross section of music lovers who are rapid fans of Old Crow Medicine Show.
The new song “Sweet Amarillo” is a collaboration with Bob Dylan and has been a hot topic of interest for press, and the video for the song premiered worldwide via CMT during release week. The video was directed by Phillip Andelman (Beyonce, Jay-Z and The Avett Brothers).
A strong and steady force in roots music, Old Crow Medicine Show is about to embark on their biggest headlining tour ever with highlights including a sold out show at Red Rocks, The Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre (Atlanta), The Philadelphia Folk Festival and London’s historic Roundhouse.
