The past few months have been nothing short of jam-packed for Old Crow Medicine Show (OCMS). The band took a break from their hectic touring schedule and met up with established photographer/director Danny Clinch in the Mid-City area of New Orleans to shoot the video for their latest single, "I Hear Them All," an anthem in the classic Woody Guthrie tradition.

of the legendary group The Meters, considered by many to be the Father of Funk. Band member Ketch Secor (vocals/fiddle/harmonica) commented: "Shooting this video in the Crescent City showed us first hand the strength and dedication of all those hardworking people committed to the rebuilding of New Orleans." When asked about "I Hear Them All" recently on NPR's All Things Considered, Secor explained, "It's a song about listening with a collective ear to all the sounds of humanity.
