Season 1 · Episode 2

Wednesday, May 28, 2025 • Duration 23:43

In Part 2 of Charlie Worsham’s conversation with Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor, the focus deepens from lighthearted place-name rhymes to the soul-searching power of music. Ketch reflects on the stories behind songs like “Mississippi Saturday Night,” the roots of “Wagon Wheel,” and the long musical thread that runs from Arthur Crudup to Bob Dylan to himself. He also discusses cultural revival and the role music can play in reckoning with the past and reimagining a better future. The episode closes with a powerful performance of “The Brand New Mississippi Flag,” Ketch’s original song envisioning a banner that reflects the full richness of the state’s story.
