Track Description
Available in:
Fuqua, school friend and future bandmate, first brought home a Bob Dylan bootleg from a family trip to London containing a rough outtake called "Rock Me, Mama" (from the "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid" soundtrack sessions) and passed it to Secor. Not "so much a song as a sketch, crudely recorded featuring most prominently a stomping boot, the candy-coated chorus and a mumbled verse that was hard to make out",[23] the tune kept going through Secor's mind. A few months later, while attending school in New Hampshire, and "feeling homesick for the South," he added verses about "hitchhiking his way home full of romantic notions put in his head by the Beat poets and, most of all, Dylan." Dylan was a major influence on the young musician, as he puts it:
"I listened to Bob Dylan and nothing else. Nothin' but Bob for four years. It was like schooling. Every album and every outtake of every album and every live record I could get my hands on and every show I could go see live. I was a teenager who was really turned on to Bob."[23]
The song would be an early entry in the group's catalog when it formed a few years later. Officially released twice, on an early EP and their second album ("O.C.M.S." in 2004), the song would become the group's signature song—going gold in 2011 and platinum in 2013.
"It was integral to what I became, to wanting to start Old Crow Medicine Show, to bring that old-time music to the fore . . I saw (Acadian stars) 1755, and heard them do a great song, Le Monde a Bien Change . . . When I listen to 1755 . . there's a definite connection. There's a pan-national movement to it . . The cause we share is trying desperately to stay connected to something. Let's pass along folklore, let's pass along tradition. Let's be North American."[24]
