I heard an interview one time with ketch that said he was driving one night and it came to him. And then he decided to make it happen.
Is this right?

The old name was "The Old Crow Medicine Show", they dopped the "the" for their nearly self titled album O.C.M.S. Maybe they've dropped it for good?

I do love that video. The whole thing is a classic. Ketch's responces are razor sharp and he never stumbles when making funny remarks. Got to love them

Where does the name Old Crow Medicine Show come from?
Ketch:I had a vision one night while driving home from a dishwashing job that I would have a band and we would go to Canada and go on a tour and it was like a circus.

That's one of my favorites! (Hard to single tunes out, though, isn't it?)
