Old Crow, The Farm, Shaver drop today
Tuesday, July 17, 2012 – A new country trio and a veteran string band merging country and bluegrass are out with new discs today.
Old Crow Medicine Show is out with "Carry Me Back." The disc, the band's first since 2008's "Tennessee Pusher," was recorded at Sound Emporium in Nashville with Ted Hutt producing.
The Farm is comprised of Nick Hoffman, who played fiddle for Kenny Chesney for about a decade, Krista Marie, a one-time Broken Bow artist, and Damien Horne. The band has a hit on its hands with Home Sweet Home. Danny Myrick, a songwriter, produced the 11-song debut with Hoffman.
Billy Joe Shaver has a "Live at Billy Bob's Texas" set out today with 20 live songs on CD and DVD plus two bonus tracks.

Like its namesake, the medicine shows of old that were part preaching, part snake oil sales pitches, part old time music and pure entertainment, the band delivers a high-energy performance that keeps the crowd on its feet the entire show.
This album includes the band's performances recorded between 2013 and 2019 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, and what better place than the Mother Church of country music ...
