[TheManolakis]

[foxsaber22]

Wow!

[mackaylajohn]

These guys are so great! I have a cover of their song, Wagon Wheel... CHECK IT :)

[climbnprana]

Awesome... who'd a thunk it.

[dkmurphygirl]

This is amazing. Never thought I would hear an old-time string band cover one of my favorite Bob Marley songs. lol The vocals and harmonies are great. =)

[mingeetoe]

This has to be one of the most passionate, and increadible covers of this Marley classic!!!

[Pilotpatty1]

do they have this song on any of their albums?? I just got turned on them them megarly! I love this song!

[pottmishayne]

Me and my friend MaryJane, was listening to this song, and i got goosebumps. maryjane also likes the song "tupelo Honey" by VanMorrison. Bless america, and the OCMS. 

[msomshanti]

@pottmishayne do OCMS cover Tupelo Honey too ? I would really dig that. I searched for it after I read your post.... but can't find it.

[lonestarpunk]

is this from prairie home companion?

[AlexTheLionator]

this is fuckin amazing <3

[seahag1967]

Incredible intonation..vocally and instrumentally. Well done boys...You did Bob excellently!

[683Lizzie]

I'm a huge fan of Marley/reggae and a huge fan of blues/folk and these guys blended Soul Rebel with that folk touch so well. Really an awesome and talented band

[tinnamom]

I think this might be the most amazing tune I've heard yet by this band!

[BluezBro604]

[Timsmusic100]

This is an awesome cover. So true to the original, but with a sweet banjo!

Great song .

[wilbuvarna]

bless up!! OCMS!! i think Bob would have liked it!! very good version of BOB, there are a alot of cover's some not so good at all. but these guys are just great player's and obivouls listen'ers of him. and this is quite the version. the vocal's are great!!! it almost kinda soounds like peter and bunny doing harmony!!!

[tomaitoe]

Usually I roll my eyes whenever I hear Bob Marley covers, but this one was done with true artistry and an obvious respect for the original song. But then, it's OCMS, true artists in their own right.

[PureKush707]

Good music transcends boundaries. One of the best Bob Marley covers I've ever heard from a folk band from Nashville.

[nughed10]

absolutely amazing! This is roots

[abrasivewt]

Everything from Secor and Marleys similar vocal ranges, to the backing harmony, to the banjo mimmicking a Reggae guitar shuffle makes this an excellent cover.

[derrygonnellyc]

most def. the nearest thing to the real man himself i have ever heard. old crow has a sound thats second to none.

[Godsentmeful]

yes he will JAHHHHH RASTAFARAI

[HumanAccount]

They are one of the best bands of there generation...no doubt

[copuschuck]

can't wait til the come out with john prine's angel from montgomery if they cover this song who know's.

[grunge0730]

amazing cover of an amazing song!

[TheGreatGonzoMan]

WHA!?!? I had to put my ears on it to be sure... this is one of my all time favorite Marley songs... such a good folk tune.... man, great recording!

[timbotomy]

Been following these guys for years and also a huge fan of Bob Marley. He'd definitely be proud of this! Keep doing what you do boys!

[Justinuriah]

where can I get this mp3

[kevinMrodgers3323]

I was like what???? When I saw the title, but i'm diggin it pretty cool.

[garthpro]

is this cover on one of their releases?

[PMK1002]

@garthpro dont thnk so, not that iv ever come across anyway

[edgarHill1]

It is so amazing they are singing this live it sounds straight off a track.

OCMS FTW

[MisldAngel]

My 86 year old grandmother loved O.C.M.S., till she passed away in Feb. It reminded ov the music she grew up with, as we live in South Carolina!!

[jtull2112]

I saw them in Portland OR in oct 2008 where they did this song along with covering a song by Michael Hurley called Portland Water which i thought was kick ass hence the town I saw them in. I need to find a recording of that show

[SpassMacher2000]

I saw these guys in London and they played this song. That pretty much sealed the deal for me on these guys. They're amazing.

[oldcrowfan13]

If Bob Marley were still alive today and heard this he would probably be so happy and excited!

[darthtortugas]

this was simply amazing bob would have been proud if he could have heard that cover

[diamondbackseye]

I close my eyes and hear this song played over slow views of a sundown on a civil war battlefield, then see a Reb band playing it in silouette...

[thebetterhalf37]

thats nice and all. but this song is a bob marley song. and i dont think he had anything like that in mind...

[diamondbackseye]

Yes it's a Marley song, and no he didn't have that image in his mind. Old Crow's version conjured the image to my mind.

[thebetterhalf37]

well right on then!

[darwinspond]

that banjo solo... my knee's just gave out...

[dylanfanforsure]

Come back to Red Bank NJ.

[1deputy11]

ya mon.

[mymakushla]

Love you guys, so great! Please come up to New York State again so I can see you =-)

[kc2207]

I saw them about a month ago in Charlotte NC. When they started playin this the place erupted. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Rock on Old Crow and rock on Bob Marley.

[fightingjuno]

seen this live its great

[BluezBro604]

i caN NEVER catch em live!!!

[CrowHooves]

i know- me neither. they don't come to michigan enough (exept in January. that was my first show i've been to. freakin awesome!)

[dudehokie]

Damn Bob Marley would be proud of this cover

[BluezBro604]

i agree

[oldcrowfan13]

They make every thing they play sound awesome.

[mtnboy70]

for a young boat captain/guide who likes these guys its nice to be fishing the Fla Keys and have this softly playing,in the background while looking at the beauty of the colors of the ocean,, is a real nice joy! Good to have some REAL music back on the scene again.

[BluezBro604]

wow that sounds fantastic...wish i was there.

[sofranza]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS GUYS

[pdxjasmine]

They did this at their show the other night in Portland and it was just beautiful. Thanks for posting this!

[atwhitac]

Thanks for posting this great song.

I'm a rebel...that's what they say

[garplawteacher]

God bless npr! I never would've heard these guys without it.

[oumdaddy]

Holy Shit when I heard "I'm a rebel.." I got chills. I know OCMS has diverse tastes, but this is wild and awesome. Great catch!

[folksinging]

ya, just fantastic, wild

[SpassMacher2000]

saw them play this live in London. It was incredible.

[c7A2deadeye]

awesome cover, I hope the crowd was feelin that

[kiterbro]

[waldo2384]

I think I'd have to be high to get into this one.

[thebetterhalf37]

[BluezBro604]

[dean2776]

True music covered by true musicians, he would be proud for sure.

[toteh247]

true

true

[WambliPeta]

@BluezBro604 you got my vote bro 8-)

[wilmst]

On Austin City Limits interview after the show Willie Watson when asked who their influences were replied: "Nirvana and Public Enemy".

[Jesseforce]

Which is 100% true.  I went to High School with him in the mid 90's.

[kuching1]

I listened to the Marley version of this song for the first time today. I did not know it was a cover. I did not know Marley is an influence of theirs. I love how musicians can put their own flare to it and own it. Love the Old Crows and Bob Marley (in different ways).

[felipeprescott]

sounds really good

[shonha1]

Tis is the second bluegrass cover of a GONG classic I've seen, yo u guys do a great job man, I didn't know his music would sound so sweet wit bluegrass.

[beh84]

sam bush does some good reggea bluegrass hybrids. really good version of no woman no cry

[thebetterhalf37]

yes, sam bush does some good marley songs live

[qwpu]

Sam Bush plays great reggae live, such a great live performer.

[c84los]

i remeber when i heard this show on the radio a couple of years ago working in a resturant, loved the music but then i cut my finger off

[babyskitties]

Great song. Great pics.

[tate111759]

I really do love this song one of the best from ocms

[DevOhm]

Oh man. This is excellent. Go OCMS.

[raidersandbud]

Caught this on APHC and thoroughly enjoyed it..great cover! Thanks for posting this. :-)

[dean2776]

Some people just dont get it!

[c84los]

i have to agree

bob even would of loved this, step off the crows bitchez

[mbrunnme]

Are you kidding me?  This is beautiful.

[GradieGreen]

Nope I'm serious. Nobody can do Marley any justice ... nice voices tho.

[mbrunnme]

ahhaha life must be exhausting for you.

[GradieGreen]

Nope. Actually its really fun.

[cda420au]

GREAT cover!!!!!

[medic914]

Wiilie Watsons voice is like no others'

[kuching1]

Your telling me, TIMELESS! isn't it.

[UvulusMaximus]

Love Bob Marley and OCMS. The fusion of American folk and Carribean folk (Marley deffinintly qualifies as that) is better than just about any other fusion of music styles. They work so well together.

[c84los]

nicely put

[babyskitties]

Great pics.
