It is just a great song and one of my favorites. It is American as apple pie and corn on the cob. It is a song that it seems that people have been singling along to since the very founding of our country. It is an anthem to Americana going to our deepest roots. This song is the perfect melding of blues, bluegrass, gospel, country, and rock n roll in my opinion. I’m no Darius Rucker, but I still think I can hold my own. This is a song that I learned to play on guitar and I just love doing it. His voice was made to do this song and it really shows in his recording and live versions. Rucker, being from South Carolina, just brings a personality to the song that is very unique. My favorite version though has to be the Darius Rucker version.

Wagon Wheel is a song that I really got turned onto a little over a year ago at a wedding reception. ![]()
