The 2-time GRAMMY-winning string band Old Crow Medicine Show has shared “Last American Waltz,” a gorgeous new single featuring Molly Tuttle, from their upcoming album ‘Union Made,’ due June 5 on Hartland Records via Firebird Music. Filmed in the dancehall of Nashville’s American Legion, the accompanying music video gives the track the kind of setting it deserves, warm, lived-in, and deeply American.
Bandleader Ketch Secor describes it as “a love song to America in 3/4 time,” built to feel timeless. “We wanted it to feel like the kind of song that could drift across a dancehall floor at midnight or echo through an old American Legion hall after the lights come up,” he says. Having Molly Tuttle on the recording, he adds, brought even more heart and soul to the track. It shows.
“Last American Waltz” follows “My Side Of The Mountain,” a generation-spanning collaboration co-written by Secor, Tuttle, and Luke Combs, and featuring bluegrass legends Del McCoury and Ronnie McCoury. That single drew early attention from The Bluegrass Situation, Relix, Whiskey Riff, MusicRow, and AmericanaUK, among others.
Produced by Morgan Jahnig and recorded at the band’s own East Nashville studio, ‘Union Made’ is Old Crow Medicine Show’s most collaborative project to date. The album features nearly a dozen guests including Maggie Rose, Turnpike Troubadours’ Evan Felker, Jesse Welles, Lee Oskar, John Carter Cash, and Ana Cristina Cash.
‘Union Made’ finds the band reflecting on the people, places, and stories of a country approaching its 250th birthday. Inspired by nearly 30 years of performing, from the street corners of Western North Carolina to the nation’s biggest stages, the album is a full-throated celebration of American roots music across its many forms, mountain music, bluegrass, old-time, and folk.
This follows ‘OCMS XMAS,’ the band’s first-ever holiday album, which drew acclaim from The New York Times, NPR’s Fresh Air, and Billboard, with TV appearances on CBS This Morning and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Ketch Secor also released his solo album ‘Story The Crow Told Me’ last year and became the new host of Tennessee Crossroads on Nashville PBS.
Old Crow Medicine Show is on the road now with a packed schedule running through November, including stops at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Fenway Park, PPG Paints Arena, and many more. Pre-order for ‘Union Made’ is live now at crowmedicine.com.
