Beautiful: setting, song, harmony, picking. Too bad they tore down the shed. It looks very old, with its brick foundation. Keep working on that fiddle. I'm a lot older than you, and I'm trying to learn it, too. It's a bit rough, but worth it.
Wow...this is soooooo awesome...and the set is beyond words!...you guys have such natural talents in many facets of entertaining...wishin you guys all the best of luck in the future in whatever you do!...
@200000028 Well if you guys ever meet up again soon, you need to re-record Wagon Wheel. You guys have gotten better in the past few years! I think I speak for everyone of your subscribers when I say this!
@riotsinlondon Dylan recorded a similiar song as a bootleg with the exact same chorus. You can find it somewhere on the internet.The OCMS version uses the same chorus, but has completely original verses. I probably should have researched it before I commented, but at least now the record is straight. I stand corrected.
@darlinglinnie123 The Lead Singer is Carson McKee. He was 14 when that was recorded. He's now 18. Look for his other tunes on YouTube. He just won a songwriting competition in NC for "Waking Up Drowning". Check it out. Band mate (and banjo/vocalist on this tune) is Josh Turner. Their band is The Other Favorites (with mandolin player Cole Gage.. not sure where the heck Cole was on the day they recorded Wagon Wheel in Carson's backyard back in '08.)
This is fabulous, inspires me to keep playing the banjo. have watched all your videos, Envy such a gifted family!!! Please keep the world informed if you are playing out and about, or have any recordings
You guys have a wonderful, heartfelt sound. You do the song justice, thanks! My 8 yr old boy loves this song, so it is fun to find youth playing it so well! peace out-
@whymelord1000 Yes, he knew that, but he was only 14 when he made that video... back when he was first singing the song, he changed the words to be "G" rated. :)
@200000028 dude i play the fiddle and remember when i was going through that stage, you will get through it, pretty soon you'll be sounding like ol' Ketch Secor himself! Rock on man :)
You kids are awesome. Its good to see that you don't have to be over 40 to enjoy country. What really impressed me is that you two put a simple blue-grass spin on the tune. Not a lot of flash. Its really good boys !!!
Heard thisfor the first time the other day blaring out of a pickup, and rode up the driver side to ask what it was - scared the shit out of the poor girl driving ... Your cover of this OCMS tune is pure magic. Exceptional ... You rock.
Absolutely fantastic! Also, it wouldn't be the same without the sepia affect, so great choice there too! But really, easily one of the top covers done on this song... probably the best.
I am sooo glad you fixed the "west to Johnson City", because it really annoys me that the writer didn't get the directions right originally. Also appreciate the "talk" change.

I love how you say the trucker and the narrator had a nice long "talk" :) I didn't catch that the first time, haha. It's a really good cover, though. Charming.
Simple doesn't mean bad! This is one of the best in harmony and music that's on the internet. Keep it up and soon we'll be hearing about you doing concerts and recordings for lots of money. Your renditions of songs impress me and I'm hard to impress.
this song was actually written by bob dylan old crow liked it so much so he just gave it to them i love the way u guys do this song just thought id tell you a bit about this song thanks
@badbrian1 "Drake" is Carson McKee. He (and band-mate Josh Turner) recorded this when they were 14. Carson is 18 now. Their band is The Other Favorites. Carson just won a song writing competition for "Waking Up Drowning". Check it out. Back when they were first posting songs, they called themselves Drake and OK, I can't remember now what Josh called himself, but, they gave themselves other names for some crazy reason; hey, they were 14! Made sense at the time, I'm sure.
I have just spent almost an hour listening to different versions of this song( wagon wheel ). and I found lots of flashy pictures, lots of sets of strings on many different stages. but after all that you got'em all whipped. keep it up, keep it simple, and love every harmony you can find. later gonna go practice
@skiman451 Haha, good to know im not the only one who listens to cover after cover of this song. but i agree these boys are brilliant, only thing missing is a bit of fiddle, nothing to intense, but just to add to teh feel.
I have to agree with everyone that you guys did a solid cover of this song and actually did justice to the original which is saying alot! I also agree with everyone that there needs to be more from you guys, just too much of a good thing to stop at one song but keep up with the same theme. I recommend a Trampled by Turtles cover such as Codeine or Silver and Gold. The only thing I disagree with was changing toke to talk considering that theres nothing wrong with a nice long toke now and then...
@ButtonUpJacket Carson McKee (lead singer) was 14 when he made this video... changed "toke" to "talk" back then when he sang the tune in case his grandmother tuned in. :)
Very good cover. Great style. You guys are the real deal. Would like to see you guys do some more fine pickin & singing of the old crow stuff..the shed is great backdrop too.
That open back throws the sound...or were you mic'd??
