Acony Records proudly presents the debut album from Old Crow Medicine Show, available for the first time on vinyl. O.C.M.S. was originally recorded on analog tape at Woodland Sound Studios in Nashville, TN, and includes some of Old Crow's most enduring songs, like "Take 'Em Away," "CC Rider," and the platinum-selling "Wagon Wheel." The album, originally produced by David Rawlings, has been lovingly mastered for vinyl on Rawlings' custom Ortofon amplifiers to a Neumann VMS-80 cutting system, plated and pressed on 140-gram vinyl at the all-new Paramount Plating and Pressing in Denver, CO., and is presented in a deluxe gatefold package from Stoughton Printing.

"It's hard to believe that more than two decades have passed since David Rawlings invited the Wild Bunch from Old Crow Medicine Show to enter two historic recording studios to start work on what would become our breakthrough album, O.C.M.S," says frontman Ketch Secor. "This album introduced our band and our rollicking punk-rock string band style to the world. All these years later, we're so proud to be sharing this music as it was originally intended, with the care and fidelity that only David Rawlings could muster."

"The sessions for O.C.M.S. were an electrifying tour through the heart of American music," Rawlings adds. "Newly composed masterpieces sat comfortably alongside classics, all performed by a truly perfect five piece band with a lineup that was in equal parts ragtag and virtuosic. The doubters at the time who thought the music was too raw and unvarnished are long gone, and they have been replaced by a legion of musicians who testify that this record changed their lives and shaped their art. Revisiting these storm-tested tapes now is like using a time machine. The sound is as high fidelity and vital as the day it was recorded. Capturing this pivotal moment in music was one of the high water marks of my life, and releasing this Acony pressing realizes a decades long dream."
