Old Crow Medicine Show

So maybe the only time I can remember ever watching CMT (that's "Country Music Television" to the uninitiated) is when I had insomnia and cried all night because of a boy. I was young and foolish and a sophomore in college, and there is no worse time to have Diamond Rio sing "One More Day" three times per hour from 2 am until 5 am.

Regardless, I love OCMS very, very much. I saw their show at the Somerville Theatre last year with the one and only Matt Plummer of Minnesota by way of NYC and it was absolutely phenomenal. A very enjoyable show. The band was even surprised: "Last time we were up here," said lead singer Morgan Jahnig, "ya'll were not nearly this excited!" A tight performance with some masterful playing of mandolin and banjo, it would have been impossible not to have a good time.

Which is why I bothered to go ahead and sign up for CMT's free membership, although Lord knows I'll never use it again, and vote for them for Best Group Video. Apparently that's not the only category they're in, so I have to go back and vote for the other one now, but it's absolutely worth it. Vote, Bostonians, and I promise to take you the next time they're here to play!

(P.S., there will be whiskey involved. Due to legality issues, I cannot guarantee moonshine, though I'll strongly suggest its presence).
