Old Crow Medicine Show urges music fans of all stripes to exercise their right to vote with their new song “Donkey & Elephant,” a bipartisan metaphor about the current election climate. The band also announces a milestone achievement in their 25th anniversary Jubilee year – they have regained ownership of the masters of their first three albums, O.C.M.S., Tennessee Pusher, and Carry Me Back, and have partnered with Firebird for their distribution.
“Old Crow is proud to join artists across all genres in urging our fans to vote,” explains Old Crow Medicine Show frontman Ketch Secor. “We wrote this song because when your heroes are Johnny, Willie, and Kristofferson you’ve got to sing about what’s going on, and this election is a pretty huge deal coast to coast and around the globe. We decided to take a middle of the road approach. Instead of preaching about one candidate or another, we used this song to talk about our frustration with the current crop of Donkeys and Elephants out there. We don’t really care who you vote for, as long as your hearts are in it. Just get out there and exercise your right and if you care about causes like we do, voting is the way to see it through.”
About the band’s new partnership with Firebird, Secor adds: "Old Crow is extremely proud about our new partnership with Firebird. For an old time string band that started on street corners to sign with one of the most innovative and forward-minded leaders in today’s music business says a lot about both of us. Firebird stands foremost for the artists it serves, and I’m mighty grateful we’ve circled the wagons with ‘em."
“Firebird Label Services is excited to partner with Old Crow Medicine Show as they take back ownership of three of the most exciting and beloved catalog albums from their 25 years making music - including the groundbreaking O.C.M.S. on its 20th anniversary,” said Kenny Weagly, VP and Head of Artist & Label Services at Firebird. "We welcome the opportunity to support the band on new releases such as ‘Donkey & Elephant,’ empowering them with our resources and unique support system as they move forward in the next chapter of their illustrious career.”
