I’m a fan of the Old Crow Medicine Show (OCMS). I first went to see them at the 9:30 Club in DC after my brother recommended them to me. As a fan of traditional bluegrass, at first I was skeptical but then found I really enjoyed their American roots songs and style.
I purchased their new DVD Live at the Orange Peel and Tennessee Theatre. It is an entertaining live production with no lip synching. The DVD contains a nice mix of their newer and older songs. Fans of OCMS will no doubt enjoy this DVD. If you’re not already familiar with OCMS, check out their music on iTunes [click ].
The Old Crow Medicine Show DVD is available from Amazon.com:
A major snowstorm is coming through Virginia and power outages are a concern in the Washington, DC area. The good news is that you can listen to Sunday’s big game on a battery radio. FollowTheGame.com is a great site to search for local radio stations carrying the Super Bowl.
However, plastic snow shovels do have a place. When shoveling a deck, a plastic shovel is a great tool clear the snow and avoid scratching the deck surface. If you have a deck, I recommend owning a plastic snow shovel in addition to a metal one.
In addition to bluegrass music, I also have an appreciation for classic country music. Today as I was listening to my local country station AM 1450, they played Coal Miner’s Daughter by Loretta Lynn. This is one of my favorite classic country songs. Click the iTunes link above to preview and/or order.
Coal Miner’s Daughter: The Movie and Book
The Coal Miner’s Daughter movie also does a great job telling the story of Loretta Lynn. Sissy Spacek won an Oscar for her performance as Loretta Lynn. I was impressed that Spacek did not lip-sync, but instead sang quite well using her own voice. Tommy Lee Jones stars as Loretta’s husband. The movie is based on Loretta Lynn’s autobiography, a book with the same title. Click the Amazon.com links below to preview and/or order.
