"Wagon Wheel" is a song co-written by Bob Dylan and Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on May 30, 2026.
Dylan recorded the chorus in 1973, and Secor added the verses 25 years later. The Old Crow version was certified triple Platinum by the RIAA in 2023, and the song has been covered many times, including by Darius Rucker in 2013.
Why I picked it
Rambling the eastern seaboard. That's what this one is to me.
