 Old Crow
Old Crow Flats, located 73 km north of the Arctic Circle and 110 km south of the Beaufort Sea, represents one of the Yukon's most valuable wetlands and provides breeding habitat for several aquatic mammals, peregrine falcons, and a variety of waterfowl, shorebirds and songbirds.

The Flats are nearly surrounded by mountains, the British and Barn ranges to the north, Richardson mountains to the east and the Old Crow mountains to the southwest.

 Gillian Welch + Old Crow Medicine Show - PopMatters Concert Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
The boys from Old Crow Medicine Show don't seem like they're performing for a paying audience so much as they do for a barbecue in their backyard down in Nashville.
And unlike Aerosmith, whose recent album of old blues covers is still an unmistakably trashy, microphone lick-fest (but a cheap thrill nonetheless), Old Crow's music is implicitly scratchy and actually captures the sound and feel of that mythical era of devil women and crossroads.
Much like Old Crow Medicine Show, Welch and Rawlings betray the influence rock and roll had in shaping their young lives; another incredible Dylan cover was "Copper Kettle", off his absurdly underappreciated album Self Portrait.

Like a lot of blues music was rediscovered, string bands and related music were researched, revitalized, and re-popularized by groups like the New Lost City Ramblers and many others in and around the folk music revolution of the 1960s.
Old Time or old timey music has existed side by side with bluegrass since the folk boom--never as big, but it certainly has enjoyed a wide enough following to have its own festivals and devoted crowds of listeners and players, legions of them.
As suburban PA youngsters, certainly my crowd of friends was collecting old country blues as well as string band music and bluegrass.
