In 1984, Doc Tommy Scott maintained that his medicine show was the last authentic medicine show remaining in the United States. For over fifty years Scott performed and peddled his wares including his famous snake oil, which he guaranteed would cure everything from the tiny cuts to huge bunions.

[Notes]
The wagons and horses may have been traded for tour buses, and the purveyors of snake oil replaced by highly skilled pickers and flutists, but Tommy Scott and his Old Time Medicine Show Band provide old-school entertainment every bit as enjoyable as their nineteenth-century travelling namesakes. Combining the sincerity and musicality of country music with uplifting pop, this collection will definitely have you tapping your feet, and just might make you want to quit your day job to join Tommy Scott and the Old Time Medicine Show Band aboard the tour bus.
