Lexi's Latest Jams: Wagon Wheel

Soooo, I wouldn't exactly say this is your *latest* jam- you have been jamming to this one since you were just a babe, but I was reminded of it recently at this year's annual Bluegrass Along the Harpeth Festival.  We go every year, and this year was no exception- it was your second Bluegrass Festival with us.  

Wagon Wheel was originally sketched by Bob Dylan, and later made popular by the Old Crow Medicine Show.  It has been covered countless times, most recently- if not most famously- by Darius Rucker in 2013, who took it straight to the top of the country music charts.  

As for you, Babydoll, you started jamming to this one early on because the lyrics say: "Rock me, Mama, like a wagon wheel.  Rock me, Mama, any way you feel.  Hey, Mama, rock me..."  I used to sing this one to you over and over as I rocked you to sleep at night.  Ever since, this has officially been "our song".

Here we are dancing to it at this year's Bluegrass Festival.  That's what the band behind us was playing.  :)

And here's Darius Rucker's version for you.  It's a good one.
