Old Crow Medicine Show celebrates "Jubilee"

"Jubilee" finds the group once again co-producing with Matt Ross-Spang (Drive-By Truckers, St. Paul & the Broken Bones) and recording at their own Hartland Studios. Their eighth studio album features appearances from Mavis Staples and singer/songwriter Sierra Ferrell.

The single "Miles Away," a reflective track co-written by bandleader Ketch Secor and bluegrass ace Molly Tuttle, with guest vocals from Old Crow Medicine Show co-founder Willie Watson is out.

Secor said, "This is one of those rearview songs where objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. 25 years of making music on the road means you're always coming back to the same places as a different person; there's a reminder of your past self and the choices you made back when. Molly Tuttle and I wrote this one together and when it was through, I asked my Old Crow co-founder Willie Watson to make his first appearance on an Old Crow record in years. After all, this is a song about amends, of bygones being bygones, and of renewal."

<"Miles Away" marks the first time Watson has recorded with Old Crow Medicine Show in more than 10 years. He will hit the road with the band this fall, performing as an opening act in addition to joining them on stage.

The disc includes jug-band tunes, Irish folk songs and exultant gospel jams.

Earlier this year, Old Crow Medicine Show released a protest song, "Louder Than Guns," written in the aftermath of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville. A father of two and co-founder of The Episcopal School of Nashville,
