I first heard this song from a buddy named Vic who was singing it when I went to visit my Fiance in Germany. Funny how of all places that's where I first heard it!
This song never gets old. I said once that it was destined to become a classic, and today it's more well-known than ever... Mumford and Sons even covered it... and to think it all began with Bob Dylan mumbling into a tape recorder, and the fine gentlemen of Old Crow Medicine Show taking those mumblings and turning them into a great song :)
@MariposaGirl1981 This is actually a fully completed song written by Secor of OCMS based around a chorus and refrain that Bob Dylan messed around with but never officially completed.
This IS Bluegrass music. They are not stereotyping the lifestyle it really is a lot like anything else. Just a little bit more hardcore than anyone else
this is the greatest fn song of Bluegrass all music has goods and bads Rap, Country, Rock this song was #1 on Way Back Wednesday forever beating out the late great Johnny Cash which has to count for alot Im just sayin...
That very beginning intro sounds so much like another very famous song, but the song and title escapes me right now .... I hate this! It's at the tip of my tounge!
@loganjalonen120 I'm not actually pissed, but its fun to see how people react. Seriously though, I do find it rather stupid that people do use that term very loosely. Just sayin'. Sooooo...... back to the music! OCMS kick ass.
@CillaBlack5 Well in their defense, "faggot" is not a racist term since a homosexual isn't a different race. So that doesn't make them a hypocrite, ju bigot.
@nebulawas I never said I was a homophobe. In fact I have nothing against gays. I just called the faggots that put ads in videos faggots. What's wrong with that? There's multiple definitions to words, and if anyone says "You're ignorant and homophobic for insulting them with the word faggot" they're retarded(again two definitions for the word not being ignorant towards handicapped people).
@loganjalonen120 I get what your saying here, but it still makes you sound like a bit of a douche. Yes there are multiple definiitions for many words, but the word itself can still be hurtful to some. And really are you calling the "faggots" who put the ad in the video a bundle of sticks? Or a roll of seasoned chop liver? (both those definitions coming from oxford online). Saying shit like that just makes you seem ignorant even if you do fully understand the words you use.
i saw these gys live in christchurch nz and it was the best concert ive ever been to. i felt sorry for the band cause the crowd woudnt shut up about wagon weel
i added songs i like to favorite just in case i forgot the names since some of the songs/videos have real irrelevant titles, bitch ass youtube then diabled my account and i almost thought i could never reach this song again until i had a dream of a bunch of wheels running over me! thank god i found this back again :)
I have such a reaction to this song, I'd forgotten it but was just watching a video and it was on, couldn't figure out why my stomach felt sick but then it hit me. Years ago we "accidentally" had the pleasure of meeting this 18 year old boy, I can't remember his name now which makes me so sad, but he was purposely homeless, we took him in for the night, filled his belly and his bag with whatever we could, and drove him an hour away to the thruway,away he walked.Please be well, bless you boy...
OH man! ..Just read on O.C.M.S. site..That WILIE WATSON parted ways with OLD CROW M.S...or vice-versa..That bites!..But on a good note they have CRITTER Fuqua back..an original band member..quite talented..gonna miss Willie though!!
Sorry but I have a question, am I allowed to listen to this type of music even though I'm not white?
Like, is it cool if I go to their concert or are white folks going to stare at me and say things like "what's that mongrel gook doing up in her amongst us?"
@bim2x4 Listen to whatever music you want to. This is hybrid/new school bluegrass. I went to high school with one of the founders of this band and founders of the Hackensaw boys They were pretty much normal, suburb kids from a college town in Virginia. Real old school blue grass might have some close-mindedness associated with it, but then again, you can find that in pockets of any musical genre. Cheers
@astorianstigmata Technically, you have to head West on Pinicle Rd to hook up onto 25E to Johnson City or my guess is after toking up, the trucker didn't care which way he was going.
great song...reminds me of a very good friend who is no longer with us....glad to see not all music sucks these days...old timey music lives forever in hearts and souls across the world...peace and happy 2012 to everybody...even the 335 fools that disliked this
Ahh, Bob Dylan is a brilliant man. If you dont agree you are a moron. Also check out my friends Mumford and Sons if you havent already. They have a wonderful folky sound with amazing songwriting in this era of awful music.
if i hear wagon wheel one more time......I just might sing along
