Crowe began playing the banjo early on and was offered a job with Jimmy Martin's Sunny Mountain Boys in mid 1950s. He cut his first recordings with Jimmy Martin on December 1, 1956 and his last on August 17, 1960, recording a total of 33 songs on Decca Records. In the late 1960s, Crowe formed the Kentucky Mountain Boys, principally performing in the Lexington, Kentucky region. By the early 1970s, Crowe changed the band's name to The New South and included material from rock and country music sources. Crowe's New South band is widely considered one of the most influential bluegrass groups since the 1970s. Many influential musicians have been a part of the band over the years, including Keith Whitley, Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, and Doyle Lawson.

내 마음 모두 아는 것처럼
시간이 빨리 지나가면 더 잊혀지는지 oh
너의 빈자리를 빼면
모든 건 제자리에 있는데
가슴이 고장 났는지
너를 보낸 걸 실감 못해
나의 모든 사랑은 헛된 얘기
나 이렇게 너를 보내
하지만 나에겐 기다림의 시작인 걸
떠나가지마 내 사랑아
두 번 다시 널 볼 수 없잖아
내 맘속에 남아있는 그대
너의 빈자리를 빼면
모든 건 제자리에 있는데
가슴이 고장 났는지
너를 보낸 걸 실감 못해
나의 모든 사랑은 헛된 얘기
나 이렇게 너를 보내
하지만 나에겐 기다림의 시작인 걸
떠나가지마 내 사랑아
두 번 다시 널 볼 수 없잖아
내 맘속에 남아있는 그대
떠나가지마 내 사랑아
두 번 다시 널 볼 수 없잖아
어디서든 언제라도 힘들고 지칠 땐
내게로 돌아와 제발
행복해야 해 내 사랑아
그 날까지 영원할 때까지
그대만은 나를 잊고 아낌없이 지워
이젠
