Medicine Show

Product Description
The Apostles' third long-player, Medicine Show (1998), features a dozen tracks of hard-charging rock and roll with more jangle than a Woolworth's cash register. Krc describes his sound as ''Western Folk Rock," and the chugging title track might have sprung from San Francisco's Edwardian cowpokes, the Charlatans. Sundazed.

During the "folk music-scare" of the early 1960s, a bunch of white middle-class youths with names like the Greenbriar Boys and the Even Dozen Jug Band discovered the mountain music of the Stanley Brothers, Skillet Lickers, and Uncle Dave Macon and set about introducing it to the country's college kids. Four decades later, the members of OCMS fit the profile of those early revivalists, yet if anything they have tapped deeper into the primal elements of an American art form. As demonstrated on their debut, they have assimilated not just the sound--banjos, harmonicas, acoustic guitar and bass--but more importantly the haunting spirit of music that was made to keep hard times at bay. How else to explain their ability to take a well-worn chestnut like "CC Rider" and infuse it with an energy that reveals once again why it is a classic? Not content to live completely in the past, they wrote "Big Time in the Jungle," which, though it is about Vietnam, could easily be transposed to 2004's desert conflicts. Kindred spirit and producer David Rawlings (Gillian Welch's longtime collaborator) has kept their energy intact, but one can only wonder what sort of magic they must deliver live. --Michael Ross

Old Crow Medicine Show.......2007-06-12

These guys are too young to sound like old hillbilies. I was looking for a little bit more current genre.

OCMS.......2007-03-28

These are very talented young men, their voices, their visions. With this combination of traditional and self-written music, Old Crow has given us a lively and poignant sense of life. And did I mention that they have talent? Check the insert; see who is playing which instrument.
If you have the opportunity to see these guys perform live, go. They are a gift.

Great CD.......2007-01-16

Great CD. I love most of the songs. One or two are a bit too blue grassy. Overall great CD good pick up.

Awesome!.......2007-01-09

Old Crow Medicine Show is awesome. I love all the songs on the CD. Especially wagon wheel. That has to be my fav. Keep on rockin' guys!!

Wagon Wheel.......2006-11-07

i just wanted to clear this up as a review mentioned that wagon wheel is a rip-off of a dylan tune. well... it's a poor assumption. the chorus from wagon wheel was written by dylan for the movie "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" for which they gave Dylan writing credit. The chords were used for the rest of the song [which is not a crime considering that the progression used (1 5 6 4) is VERY common and is used in a countless number of songs including "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" by Dylan himself] and the rest of the song's lyrics were written by OCMS with a different melody. if it was a rip-off, they wouldn't have purposely given Dylan some credit for the song. In fact, if you look in the album sleeve it gives Dylan FULL credit for the song. So... if you believe Wagon Wheel is a rip-off, i don't think you really KNOW what a RIP-OFF is.

A concept album about gigantic household appliances taking over the world? No such luck. As the images of Hank Williams, Bob Dylan and Sun-era Elvis floating in the background might indicate, this Nashville band is strictly old school, singing about unemployed riverboat workers, covering Woody Guthrie and plucking banjos like there was no tomorrow. Produced by David Rawlings, Big Iron World boasts the expected barnstormers ("Cocaine Habit") and late-night meditations ("God's Got It") alongside a handful of folkie sing-a-longs ("Down Home Girl") and a thoroughly unexpected reference to Karl Rove. And where else are you going to hear songstress Gillian Welch banging away on the drums? --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews:

This aging fanboy..........2007-06-25

loves Old Crow Medicine Show, and this album is another winning entry! "I Hear Them All" is worth the price of admission by itself, but there are other choice bits; "Cocaine Habit" "Down Home Girl" and "My Good Gal" stand out, as well as the tongue-in-cheek (I think ;) "New Virginia Creeper".

Cool Beans.......2007-06-08

I really have enjoyed this CD. The music is invigorating and the lyrics are funny. I have just ordered another one to send to my son-in-law!

yowch.......2007-05-12

Good god, these guys are overrated. Hipster old time music at its worst. They sure would look good in a Details magazine spread, though...

love it.......2007-04-01

i love OCMS and there music keeps getting better and better. if you love their last album, buy this one.

It's been growing on me.......2007-02-21

Having only really listened to the most recent previous album, I didn't know what to think of Big Iron World at first; it seemed quite a bit more bluesy than O.C.M.S., and I wasn't sure the change was for the better. After a dozen or so times through, though, I've got to say, they've got an uncanny ability to bring even a reluctant audience around.

There are a few songs on the album that I still don't love: Down Home Girl has a pretty monotone, repetitive sound; Union Maid is too obviously a throw-back; and Bobcat Tracks is just hokey.

Now that I got my complaints out, though, what a great album. My Good Gal is reminiscent of my favorite Louvin Brothers song (Knoxville Girl); New Virginia Creeper demands dancing; and I Hear Them All is up there with the best of American folk political protest songs. Just a great time, great musicians, and I wish they'd come play live in New England.

A Great Comp Of Dr. Hook Songs Capitol........2007-03-03

Well in beginning i bought this album for the songs: Cover Of The Rolling Stone & When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman. But as soon i popped in this disc i just fell in love with whole thing. the and more to title of the album impiles the fact that there are few songs tacked on for your listening pleasure, i must say my favorite tracks are: I Could'nt Believe, A Little Bit More. Sexy Eyes & Sharing The Night Together( Are Definitely Disco Influnced) but still likeable. Radio should've may the top ten along with Cover Of The Rolling Stone, Years From Now. Brings tears almost, it's tender ballad. This album is one that you'll want to dance to because there are slow and fast tunes. when i listening to this album i think of palm trees and the sun.

Disappointing.......2007-01-22

Not what I was hoping for. This album does not include several of his best songs. Definitely not his "greatest hits".

Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show-- Greatest Hits (And More) .......2007-01-18

Dr. Hook always brings back memories of my childhood. Their music is real the lyrics tell a story and it is good music to listen to after a hard days of work in your own little space. Great stuff !!!!

My opinion.......2007-01-10

I was thrilled to find this recording. I had been looking for one particular song by Dr. Hook for years and didn't know the name of it. I was so greatly surprised to find it on this albumn. It is Love Me A Little Bit More. It is a very special song to me and am thrilled to have it. I would recomend this albumn to any one that loves Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show.

I'm Hooked.......2006-09-02

Dr Hook was and still remains one of the most underated groups to emerge during the Seventies. You really had to be lucky to see them in concert but they're somewhat forgotton now. The songs on this album are all classics and will remain that way to all seventies music lovers out there. Good quiet time music is at a premium these days and " A Little Bit More " is should always be played with romance in the air. Great album!!! Two thumbs up!!!

Great DVD of a 70"s Classic Rock Album.......2007-01-10

I have always been a huge fan of Dr Hook & The Medicine Show: ever since "Sylvia's Mother" first came out, followed by "Cover Of The Rolling Stone". They had me for life after I enjoyed the experience of seeing them live at a private party for record company executives, record promoters, radio station owners and D.J.'s in Houston around 1977 (still not sure how I got invited, but it was a great show.)

"Sloppy Seconds" was never one of their best known albums, and I guess anybody would call it irreverant at best: not of religion or God, just of society. I had the original L.P., which I lost and a cassette (also lost), and was really missing the unusual songs on this truly unique album (the lyrics of many of which were written by Shel Silverstein in an earlier life: later of Playboy, Esquire and New Yorker cartoon fame and most recently as a best-selling author of children's books.) Finding a top-quality CD of this hard-to-find album was a really pleasant surprise, and listening to these 30 year old classics in new-age clarity has become a series of enjoyable continuing trips down memory lane.

I highly recommend the album and the seller.

I consider this album one of the top 25 of all time..........2006-11-24

As far as music being an art form, this album has the whole package, cool cover, incredible sound, awesome lyrics, fabulous playing, vocals second to none! Arguably a classic among classics!!! It requires full attention and should be required listening for high school english, music and art classes...

Their best album 5 stars is not enough.......2006-01-15

In my opinion this is their best album, every song is worth a good close listen. I wore out my first 8 track copy of this, bought it again on 8 track over the years I also bought it on vinyl, cassette and on CD; don't regret a single purchase.
I still play it fairly often and enjoy it each time I hear it.

Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show: Sloppy Seconds.......2005-09-17

I love this album... it's funny to say, but my parents raised me on this and other great albums of their time. They have the original vinyl, but I had to have my own copy. It's hard to find in record stores, so I am pleased to have found it here. People may not think by looking at the band or the cover that this band could convey this music with such heart (although, some of it is just for fun), but their voices and music combined with the ever enduring poetic words of Shel Silverstein goes beyond the time or the look.

Fairly Good.......2005-09-12

There are a few songs on this album that make it worth having. The best of them is "I Can't Touch the Sun." This song is one of Dr. Hook's best.

HOOK, LINES, & STINKERS.......2005-10-27

This is not the same Dr. Hook that, after dropping "and the Medicine Show" from their name, did the biggest musical switcheroo since the Doobie Brothers acquired Michael McDonald. If you're lookin' for their disco-fied hits "When You're in Love With a Beautiful Woman" and "Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk" (even those titles make me cringe), then click elsewhere. All ten tracks of trash on "Revisited" come from the demented pen of Shel Silverstein, who, besides composing left-of-center hit songs ("A Boy Named Sue", "The Unicorn", "Tequila Sheila"), also contributed article and cartoons for Playboy AND wrote classic children's books. The tune titles here tell the tawdry tale: "Acapulco Goldie", "Roland the Roadie and Gertrude the Groupie", "Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball" and more demented debauchery. Two numbers are even fondly remembered bona fide hits---the melancholy "Sylvia's Mother" and that odorous ode to fame n' fortune, "Cover of the Rolling Stone" (which actually DID get their ugly mugs on that rag). Sleazy songs, greasy instrumentation, and party-hearty vocals make this early greatest "hits" sound like Dr. Hook had just as much fun making it as I did listening to it. "Revisited" really oughta come with one of those little warning stickers found on other substances that are supposedly bad for you: CAUTION-Listening to this disc is infectious and may be hazardous to your health! RATING: FIVE YUKS

Excellent Album.......2005-01-23

This is Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show's 1st compilation, "Revisited". It was originally titled "The Best Of" with a different cover. The tracks were taken from their first three albums which were produced between 1971 and 1973. It features the hit singles "Sylvia's Mother", "The Cover Of Rolling Stone", "Carry Me, Carrie", "Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie" as well as many album tracks. This appeals to the country and rock audiences...The songs were written by the late Shel Silverstein.

Where is this great album?????.......2003-07-08

For some of you who have written reviews below, Belly Up was THE best Dr Hook album (IMHO). It wasn't quite as raw as Sloppy Seconds but they hadn't sold out and gone commercial. ALSO - the original LP came with a 45 of Dennis and Ray interviewing each other - it was unbelievably funny.

The best songs on the album were Roland the Roadie, The Wonderful Soupstone and The Ballad of... The first was just fun, the latter two probably having the best group harmonies that the guys ever recorded. Not near as "snivelin'" as some of the other songs on the other albums (Kiss it away, Carry me Carrie, etc). Right up there with The Ballad of Lucy Jordan, one of my all-time favorites.

If they ever release Belly Up, buy it!!!!! You won't be sorry.

awesome.......2003-01-07

I bought this only knowing "...Rolling Stone" but loved everything on it (well, almost). It launched a serious Dr. Hook interest for me. A great compilation.

Real Good Shit.......2005-11-23

I have a vinyl copy of this album that I bought a few years ago and it's an incredible album. I was fairly unfamliar with the band before i bought it but it won me over immediately. They have different styles they can play and each one sounds natural. My favorite song has got to be "Kiss it Away". It's a real soulful song. "Makin it Natural" and "Sylvia's Mother" are also great songs. Reccomend this album to anyone with good taste in music.

Excellent Album.......2005-01-23

This is Dr. Hook & The Medicine Show's debut album, "Doctor Hook". It was produced in 1971 and features the hit single "Sylvia's Mother". Ray Sawyer and Dennis Locorriere were the lead vocalists for the band and now have solo careers. This CD appeals to the country and rock audiences. This is the band that can make you laugh one minute and cry the next...The songs were written by the late Shel Silverstein.

You can never go wrong with Dr. Hook!.......2000-10-06

I first heard Dr. Hook in 1997 when I found a record that my uncle had in the basement and so I listened to it and from then on I was a fan. The album was "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan". Since then I have been a big fan and it seems like everytime I hear a song that I haven't heard before it just rocks! I have not yet found a song that they have done or a record that they have done with songs on it that aren't awesome. I think if you like seventies rock or are just a big hippie then you would love this record. I have just gotten it and it is the best!

Can't live without this one!.......1999-07-10

"Ain't the kinda love I get, but baby that's the kinda love I need." My wife hates this song as much as I love it. I have looked for this album ever since high school. Thank you for having it.

Customer Reviews:

the worlds group.......2005-03-02

dr hook was only the greatest, most versatile group of their century. they seemed to play anything well, from dope to love songs, and the love songs were always from the heart. no other group has ever come close to their talents. its a shame that they had to break up. i too this day still go and see dr hook featuring ray sawyer whenever they play, and at their age, they still rock.

Mostly funny, but some schlock as well........2005-02-06

Shel Silverstein was a witty, often very spot-on songwriter....mostly. Dr. Hook was a witty, outrageously funny band....mostly. And this collection of Dr. Hook serenading the listener with several songs from the pen of Shel Silverstein is, well, mostly outrageously funny and often very spot-on. But not always.

The first 16 selections on this CD are the best; you get completely gonzo stuff like "Roland The Roadie And Gertrude The Groupie," "Marie Lavauk" and their biggest seller, "Cover Of The 'Rolling Stone'" ("Wanna buy 5 copies for my mother!") cheek-to-jowl with more conventional but still well-done songs like "Sylvia's Mother" (which stays just on the edge of soap opera without actually falling in), "The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan" (later a hit for Marianne Faithfull), "The Wonderful Soupstone" and "Carry Me, Carrie." Those are all terrific. What's not so terrific are later Hook/Silverstein match-ups like "I Don't Want To Be Alone Tonight," "More Like The Movies" and "Pleasure And Pain," where big-time mawkishness sets in and the lewd campiness that was the band's strength is purged and flattened completely. All it really means, though, was that even the mighty were/are allowed to stumble now and again and if you've ever yearned for a time tunnel back to a period where you could be culturally incorrect and get away with it (cf. "Freakin' At The Freaker's Ball"), this may well be what you're looking for.
