That’s the takeaway from Old Crow Medicine Show and Hayes Carll coming to Greenfield Lake Amphitheater last weekend.
Carll started off the night, backed by the Band of Heathens — a.k.a. Hayes and the Heathens. They played 30 minutes, while Old Crow took to the stage for almost two hours. Carll joined them during the cover of George Jones’ “White Lightning,” as captured by one fan on YouTube.
The Nashville Americana act — consisting of PJ George, Mike Harris Morgan Jahnig, Dante Pope, Ketch Secor and Cory Younts — performed “Tell It To Me,” “Methamphetamine,” “Take Em Away” and “8 Dogs, 8 Banjos” among its dozen or so songs.
They also covered the late Jerry Lee Lewis’ “Great Balls of Fire” and Stan Rogers’ “Barrett’s Privateers.”
“The band, their sound and the production has all gotten bigger,” photographer Tom Dorgan of MoonFrog Media said, referring back to seeing OCMS for the first time 20 years ago at the now-defunct Marzz.
Dorgan captured photos of the concert, performed to a sold-out crowd. Below are Dorgan’s photos of both Hayes and the Heathens and Old Crow.
