Sometimes i would singalong this song until the tears don't allow me to sing anymore, one of the most beautiful genuine songs i have ever had the joy to listen to.
I recently introduced this beautiful song to both of my sons. By the fifth time of playing it in a row (their request), we all were sing in harmony. It was a beautiful bonding moment. My youngest used Wagon Wheel in a talent show, because he said daddy loves it. Teared me up. Lol
We played this a lot during my 07-08 deployment to Afghanistan. I’ve cried and screamed during this song since then. From Raleigh to Fayetteville. This song still pulls me out of some dark shit. Thank you.
"Wagon Wheel" is definitely one of the most beautiful pieces of American folk music. You guys know how to wash away from my soul the dust of everyday life! This music means a lot to me and has undoubtedly been my favorite piece since I was a child. I'm 22 now and I still can't listen to these fiddle solos without having a bright smile. It's because of this song that I picked up the banjo. It's what sparked my passion for the United States and its amazing people. And it's the tune I first heard when I set foot on North American soil. May the blessings of God encompass you all. May the divine favor extend to the Appalachian mountains and its splendid culture, deeply intertwined with its roots and history. Happy birthday to this American classic! I'd love to see you on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium one day! Greetings from France.
This is the National Anthem of Appalachian Trail thru hikers making their way up that 2200 mile footpath. It's sung many nights in my yard in Lehigh Gap, PA ;-) Happy Birthday, Wagon Wheel!!!
Torn to shreds in a bad way? I will finally see them live this year and I'm very excited for it. Hope they play this song but honestly they just seem to kick ass live. I listened to their memorial day show at the del fest many times.
@@michaelberry8 LOL. Yes it is. Ketch from OCMS took the chorus from a then unreleased bootleg Dylan song and then wrote the versus making the song wagon wheel. Who do you think wrote this song.
I vividly remember my folks introducing my siblings and I to this song right about when it came out. Not my cup of tea at first but I grew to love it, and bluegrass on the whole, very quickly. When this jam was on, the mood in the house was elevated. Grateful to my folks and OCMS for such kind memories.
Dylan credited the phrase "Rock me, mama" to bluesman Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, who recorded a song with this title in 1944. He likely got it from a Big Bill Broonzy recording "Rockin' Chair Blues" from 1940 using the phrase "rock me, baby". The phrase "like a wagon wheel" is used in the 1939 Curtis Jones song "Roll Me Mama" that includes the lines "Now roll me over, just like I'm a wagon wheel" and "just like I ain't got no bone". He re-recorded it in 1963 as "Roll Me Over", with some of the lyrics. In the meantime, Lil' Son Jackson came up with "Rockin' and Rollin" in 1950 using the phrase "Roll me, baby, like you roll a wagon wheel".
Caught a trucker outta Philly, had a nice looooooong toke...man this line spoke to me when I was younger. You boys make us in VA really proud. Keep going for that top spot, Alabama Hightest! God Bless!
I love this so much, and the story of Bob Dylan and the respect y'all had for him. Sorry Darius stole all the glory of this great story. I like your version best.
[from Wikipedia] (Dylan) said ‘I didn’t write that; Arthur Crudup did.’ Arthur Crudup said, ‘I didn’t write that; [Big] Bill Broonzy wrote that.’ Bill’s first recording of the derivative of ‘Rock Me Mama’ is around 1928. That’s a true folk song-one that has gathered a lot of dust on the fender before it ever rolled into your town. And songs like that tend to last longer because they’ve been influenced by such lasting voices.
About 20 years ago today I saw OCMS. A bandmate of mine said let’s go down to Amoeba Music store to see a string band like us, we get there and they’re on a make shift stage and they open with wagon well, I feel in love with those guys. I never watched the country Music award show but that year I did think OCMS would walk away with some awards, sadly they never made it on the show. I think its because all the other stars, the men wore tee shirts and blue jeans and the women all wore the same outfits, like coming off a conveyer belt wearing the same clothe and OCMS didn’t fit that scene.
You guys have this song so incredibly polished after all these years. I have to wonder how annoying it is to have to keep playing it over and over again forever because it’s the main one song everyone wants to hear. I play this one sometimes, just me and my guitar. I forget how fast you guys play it honestly cuz I slow it down when I play I guess and try to dig into the emotions that the lyrics give me. Hell of a song but even then I don’t think it’s your best one or the one that fits the band the best.

Bob dylan wrote this for pat garret and billy the kid but i like this version also darius rucker . Theres anorher cover with katie sunshine hula hooping to this song also great
@@thebeatls09k take you've not seen them live any time recently because it is high octane stuff. If you are basing it off this performance, I'd suggest watching old crow live in 2009 era doing the very same song, this has never been a high energy live song
Great cover of a Bob Dylan and Jeff Secor song, Darius didn’t write it, nor did OCMS, nor did Mumford and Sons. Darius made it famous I guess, but I first heard the song on the CMA’s or the Grammy’s when Bob Dylan appeared with Mumford and Sons, to perform this, soooo long ago, 2012 maybe?

I can relate to those tears. Cumberland Gap is usually where the faucet is.
@@reason1925 for my is usually the third time singing along, around the dogwood flowers line 🤣
Kind of a gay comment to be honest

Yup. Love to see these comments.
Ha. The Appalachian trail is full of worthless leftist tourists. You included apparently.
Roots and Rocks baby Roots and Rocks.
@@RabbitHole-xyz I sharpen the ones in NE PA 🙂
It’s sang many night in the Daniel Boone national forest on the Shawnee trail
Man this band got torn to shreds. But still good. Saw them sometime near the start in Lancaster, PA. It was a great show.
Torn to shreds in a bad way?

Nothing but good memories surrounding this song, hard to believe it’s been 20 years.
old crow medicine show is by far my favorite version of this song
It's their song.
@@abegrey740 no it's not

@@abegrey740 no shit
@@Cletus-so5gr truth man. I do not know why people don't think it is an OCMS original.
This song was playing the literal second my son was born; my wife had a playlist going and this was on as he was born.
He was rocking his mama like a wagon wheel.
Never get tire of "Cumberland Gap, to Johnson City Tennessee"!
@srrfdude same. I’ve played Johnson city a few times on tour from the bay so that line has a special moment for me
I vividly remember my folks introducing my siblings and I to this song right about when it came out. Not my cup of tea at first but I grew to love it, and bluegrass on the whole, very quickly.

Love when the backing vocals come in
Remember the memories I was making when this song came out. 20 years already? Rock me indeed.
Can’t stop listen to this song in heavy rotation 😅😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's a hard to listen to this without crying
Love from Johnson City boys. Keep doing us proud!
We were 2nd row front and center. Loved it!
We were 2nd row on the right of the bench, how cool! What a great night!

Saw these guys in Nampa’ ID last July with Hank JR. These guys were incredible live! Like an old time Medicine Show. Hank JR was unbelievable.
I'am love Old grow medicine!

A terrific song by any standard, thank you OCMS.
Such a great band!!! 🎉❤🎉❤
Absolute perfection. Thanks so much for sharing your gifts with the world.
I love you guys, you're the best!
Saw these guys at the Kettlehouse Brewery in Missoula and they put on such a show. They were awesome.

(No emoji for wagon wheel 😂)
I really wish the original band had stuck together. Willie Watson’s voice absolutely cannot be replaced for this song.
20 years. Nice
Thanks for the wonderful show! It was my pleasure to hold the door for yall as you left the Opry.
20 years old! Boy Howdy! Congratulations! It will be able to buy that good corn liquor next year.
When this song hits 21 the whole world will be drunk...
Yeah Yeah Yeah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Portlandia brought me here
Without Willie's vocals it loses so much 😢
What happened to willie
@@alanestlin312 he wanted to be a folk singer instead of having a hum dinger.
Ketch is the only original member these days I think.
Classic!
i love i hope im stoned when jesus takes me home!
Happy 83rd birthday, Bob Dylan
You know Hootie and Ketch will be taken up a residency show in Branson in a few years. Sing all those old time hit they had.
Really great!
Thanks.🙌
ua-cam.com/video/ph_4nDOlPiI/v-deo.html
really go home
Way to finish that Robert Zimmerman gift song! 💯
used to really love OCMS, but havent kept up with them in years. Is Ketch the only original member left? He's the only one i recognize.
I love these guys, but I miss seeing Willie Watson, Kevin Hayes, and Critter Fuqua on the stage.
Ketch.Secor (OCMS) and Bob Dylan co-writer credits Dylan, chorus and Secor, verse
the thing about it is that he is now a good fiddler
❤❤❤
I like how the banjo player went from looking like Oswald on The Drew Carey Show 20 years ago, to now looking like Chris Stapleton.
Of it wasn't for PBS, i eould have never heard this or Jolene by Dolly.
Seen OCMS a few weeks back perform Wagon Wheel at the Grand Ole Opry, excellent band and sing this way better than Darius Rucker

Thank you Robert Zimmerman.

A gateway drug for twang
darius rucker DID NOT WRITE THIS SONG ! BOB DYLAN AND ANOTHER WRITER ARE CREDITED
As I understand it, Bob Dylan wrote some basic lyrics of the chorus, then Old Crow Medicine Show expanded it
The Standard in which all “covers” are judged by 🤪😱😂
dude should've credited bob dylan for a little bit of that 20 year self promotion!..dont ya think!
This is not cover. It is the origin.
If you really go west from the Cumberland Gap no way you are going to end up in Johnson City.
Not half of the official version.
How about credit to ol’ Bob Dylan who wrote it!
Show me which lyrics Dylan wrote.
Thanks to Bob Dylan for this tune!
Radio #wagonwheel
These guys play it Darius sings it
EVIL HAS WON
Aged like fine scotch.
A brilliant song. Darius Rucker made a fortune off it because it such a great song!
Great cover of a Darius Rucker Classic!!!
Great cover of a funny comment 🤪
Bob Dylan... And OCMS
I want to say that's not funny. But it's piss my pants funny. Well done, sir.
Too bad your dad didn’t cover the tip
Bob Dylan song and Old Crow covered it before Darius Rucker
Скрипача не трогать😊
Anna Port
Roanoke is Big Lick...
Maybe it's just me, but the signer seems like he's just about as burned out as a man can be on that song.
very subdued crowd
They played it first Darius made it famous and paid them royalties.
Yeah that's not old crow lol
Oh yeah, and who do you think they are?
@hayleymariemills ketch, and the medicine show replacements. The whole energy and vibe that was old crow medicine show is long gone.
@@thebeatls09k take you've not seen them live any time recently because it is high octane stuff. If you are basing it off this performance, I'd suggest watching old crow live in 2009 era doing the very same song, this has never been a high energy live song
Watched long enough to comment. You made them money, to keep going lmao. Go cope.

Do people really not know this is a Bob Dylan song?
my guy is next level fucked up but still performing the most over played song to date flawless
Few know this, but Luke Bryan actually wrote this for Darius Rucker who made it famous.
It was written by Bob Dillon and Jeff Secor
DILLON 😂@@clintonsmith4736
Written by Bob Dylan and someone else, not Darius Rucker or OCMS, fyi.
