Old Crow Medicine Show performs "Wagon Wheel" at the 2013 Americana Music Festival

[@TheMisfit291]

Now this is how country music should be played. Beautiful lyrics, intricate melody played and sung to celebrate the simple joy of being alive. I can listen to them for hours.

[@angelaweymouth6481]

I agree

[@roscoemccoy8383]

But it's not "country music".... it's "Newgrass"... current release Appalachian Bluegrass rooted music...

[@danschriver75]

@@roscoemccoy8383 thank you

[@CooperViolins]

actually... it's originally a Bob Dylan song... Woulda been nice if he had finished it.

[@MrTibbs90]

I think Bob Dylan would be happy with what they did with his song. There’s something so special about it. It just makes you feel good. I almost cry when I hear this song.

[@seanhamashige9287]

I love how Ketch plays the song differently each time. I don’t know how many times I have heard this song but it’s never exactly the same violin riffs. It’s just Ketch fiddling, which shows how truly talented he is. Most of us fiddlers are happy just being able to play a song consistently the same. It’s incredibly difficult to make it sound different and fresh each time.

[@katharinenoble1682]

I've practiced along with the video a *lot* and.... you're right but he is following a general melody line (not just the song tune but his solo) from the studio version. But you're right, the guy's a pro and mixes it iup.

[@samuelmixter4699]

For sure. The 1st one I ever heard was the best, but it's not on anymore..

[@edptoblo]

Sadly , Hes not actually plugged in and playing it. Its a recording.

It is impossible to listen to this song without grinning. An instant classic.

[@baronobeefdip2]

Colerain Fan of sing it around the campfire. group participation compensates for lack of fiddle

[@paulsuggs]

I came to say this is a classic. I knew the first time I heard this song it would be a classic. Too bad there aren't too many songs nowdays or any for that matter that would be considered classics.

[@paulsuggs]

The song that said goodbye to country? Maybe

[@GIGroundNPound]

SO TRUE!!!

[@jreality9875]

I'm someone that loves to mimic voices and sounds I would love to recreate this

[@5ivegoodminutes]

What an awesome group of incredibly talented musicians! Ketch had the looks and talent that would have skyrocketed him to fame as a solo artist, the fact they have stayed together as a group tells all you need to know about them!

[@valeniusthekat]

The last time I saw my Mom alive, we heard this song over the radio from a truck that was parked next to us getting gas....... I said "I know this song", my Mom said "me too",and we sang the rest of the song together... Thank you that......

[@jimanglin7987]

love that story

[@colomtnbiker]

Well, at least Bob Dylan started writing it.....the chorus anyway, but never finished it. Then Ketch found it, contacted Bob, wrote the verses and shared in the final songwritng credits, great job to both of them!!

[@dougwells1067]

Great Song this is by far the Best version

[@quirkessence9446]

Doug Wells This is not a version but an original. Dylan wrote the chorus in '70s and this Old Crow singer/fiddler wrote the song on that.

[@thomasprice9256]

Quirk Essence I suspect Doug Wells meant that this particular live performance is the best version of the song (vs the album version etc)

[@joecoolmccall]

+Thomas Price I thought perhaps he meant in comparison to the Darius Rutgers (sp?) version.

[@BanjoPicker]

The way THIS song should be played. Sweeet.

[@hooleyqueen]

The Ken Burns documentary on "History of Country Music in America" has been showing again on PBS. If ya really wanna learn about the origins of Honky Tonk, Bluegrass, and other styles and genres, watch this entertaining and educational documentary. It is in six or more installments.

This is such a beautiful song! I got into OCMS a few years back, on the strength of the song “Methamphetamine.” So this one was a tune I didn’t really listen to until recently, and DAMN. Can’t wait for us to get a hold of this pandemic so we can get some live music once more.

[@chrishavener2566]

I must have played this about everyday since discovered

[@dougbugera3608]

Yup

[@treerat1627]

Absolutely, this is old time country music. However, the original version was by Bob Dylan in 1973 known as Rock Me, Mama. But he never quite finished it. Old Crow Medicine Show picked it up, finished it with Dylan, and recorded and released about 2003 as Wagon Wheel. Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish records and releases it in 2013 and the rest is history. Between 1973 and 2003 the tune had an underground following. Believe me, I know. "Rock me, mama" was one of my favorites...both music and expression.

[@rodcarter4299]

It takes Dylan to create a brilliant classic like this

The first time I'd even heard of this song was in a FB chat. The posters were complaining about how it's been played to death and they are so sick of hearing it. ..........'Funny', I thought, 'I'd never even heard of it, gotta check it out'. Five or so years later, I'm frequently listening to this tune's various versions (....no favorite one. Rucker's is good as is OCMS) since and I'm just not getting tired of it at all.

If you search : 'wagon wheel original bob Dylan' you'll hear the original as was intended for the Billy the Kid soundtrack..CBS records had a campaign slogan to promote Bob years ago.." Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan" If you listen to the original rehearsal from 71 I think you'll agree that everything pales in comparison to Bob's early rehearsal tape.
