Old Crow Medicine Show Announce New Album Carry Me Back For July 2012 Release

Celebrated string band, Old Crow Medicine Show, are back with a new album.  Physical and digital copies of Carry Me Back will be released on July 17 via ATO Records.  More info on the forthcoming release after the jump.

Carry Me Back will feature 12 new tracks from Old Crow Medicine Show.  The album was recorded in the legendary Sound Emporium studios in Nashville (O Brother, Where Art Thou?; REM’s Document; Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s Raising Sand).  As said by Ketch Secor, “For me, Carry Me Back is all about the songs, how they line up, intertwine, switch partners, and promenade home. Each of these songs was an accident waiting to happen.”

Old Crow Medicine Show is also hitting the road in support of Carry Me Back. The tour kicks off in Kentucky on June 30.  “The greatness of an old-time string band lies in its performance,” Secor says. “The way it percolates, rattling itself almost to the edge. When you’ve got a top-notch studio like Sound Emporium, and 12 strong tunes in the works, and the time and patience it takes to get it right–that’s when great performances can be captured.”
