Wagon Wheel and its History

"Wagon Wheel" is a song originally sketched by Bob Dylan and later completed by Old Crow Medicine Show.  Old Crow Medicine Show's version was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in November 2011. The song has also been covered by blues artist Matt Andersen, in 2005, and Darius Rucker, in 2013.

Here are the links to each of these artists performing. I am fond of the Darius Rucker cover. It is true country to me, but the Matt Andersen cover is nice for the ear too.
Which is your favorite?

Taylor Swift-22

While this song reminds me of everything good, great, and fun about college, I just don't think I can classify Taylor as a country artist after hearing it. What do you think?
 

 Leave a comment. I'd love to hear your opinion.

Randy Houser - How Country Feels

I have been loving this song lately. Have you heard it? He seems to have had a bit of success since he first signed to Universal South Records in 2008. This is the first song I can remember. Probably because this is his first number 1 hit on the Country Airplay Chart. This song hit number on on February 2, 2013. (Link)
