BIG MEDICINE, consisting of Kenny Jackson, Jim Collier, Joe Newberry, and Bobb Head, plays string band music of the rural South: old-time melodies and mountain harmonies, ancient ballads and archaic fiddle tunes, heart songs, hollers, hymns, and a touch of early bluegrass—a music with remarkable power, nuance, and timeless appeal, a balm for the modern maladies of the soul.

Additional information from Big Medicine:
 
"We’ve all learned the roots of our music by ear and by heart at the wellspring, from old folks who grew up playing old-time music, from relatives and friends, from field recordings made in the depths of the Great Depression, and old commercial “hillbilly” records—including early exponents of that kind of Southern string band music which came to be called bluegrass. Some of these people made records and even become widely broadcast on the radio; but we’ve learned even more from great singers and musicians that few have ever heard of, ordinary people who rarely played the music for money, but just for the love of it. 
This music has gotten in our bones. It feels natural to us. If we never set foot on a stage, we’d still be playing it at home, at gatherings of friends and family, at festivals and fiddlers conventions. It has been passed along and passed around that way for a long time by people who have shaped its rugged beauty, strength and grace. It is music that can move the heart, lift the spirits, make you cry, or tickle your feet, and we feel honored to be a part of bringing it into a new century."
