I tend to be late to the musical party, so you all might already know about an alt-country band called Old Crow Medicine Show. If you don't, check out the video for "I Hear Them All." I just discovered them over the weekend, and love that song in particular. Old-timey, catchy, sweet, Dylanesque, and even fairly groovy despite an absence of drumming. Not sure how I feel about the black-folks-as-props in the video, but at least it's a nod toward the inclusiveness that's completely lacking in most of what passes for country music these days.
And they're mostly upstate New York boys, too -- grape pickers and buskers.
