#592 - Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor and Molly Tuttle on Wagon Wheel
4/2/20261 hr 17 min
Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Molly Tuttle sit down with Bobby to talk about their love story, how their relationship came together, and the moments that made them realize this was something real. Ketch also shares the wild story behind writing “Wagon Wheel” from an unfinished Bob Dylan bootleg, what it was like to later hear from Dylan himself, and why that connection still feels surreal. Plus, the two talk about music, bluegrass, fate, and the time Ketch visited a fortune teller as a teenager that somehow still sticks with him all these years later!

So I'm fans of you in different ways. Molly, I'm fans of you through just watching your clips from the Opry, and also being at the Opry. I- that was my introduction to you- Mm-hmm ... was you playing the Opry and being like- Cool ... holy crap. [laughs] There's only, like, two people I'm intimidated by. Uh, dentists and bluegrass players, for the record. [laughs] That- that's it. Those, those are the people- Let's see those choppers. Well, I got one broken right now.
