Darius Rucker actually sang this song live with old crow medicine show live at the grand ole opry. Here is the link ruclips.net/video/Q27U0d54blQ/видео.htmlsi=OlHNIojKriItxE8h
Darius had no city roots to go back to. He was born & raised in SC. He formed the band Hootie & the Blowfish at the University of SC. He's always been a Southern country boy.
Hello Bourbon Guys, I thought I'd suggest another song by a group that, I believe, you've reacted to before and seemed to enjoy their work their genre is bluegrass so, I thought you might enjoy giving this tune a listen, if interested. "Alison Kraus & The Union Station - Chactaw Hayride - Live, 2002" (by the channel: dahliacorona) --This song is from their album called "New Favorite" released in 2001. This instrumental tune was written by Union Station dobro player Jerry Douglas, who wanted to showcase Kraus's fiddle-playing skills. This track features uneven bars and a captivating fiddle part that adds to its charm. And as always, I enjoyed rocking with you two. Thanks for sharing. peace out~
Saw Hootie & the Blowfish at a frat lawn party back in Carolinas early 90s. ❤Darius has always had such an amazing voice. Thank you gentlemen! Have you heard the one Darius does with Dax, "To Be a Man" yet? Def worth a good listen 😊
Theres a great video from the grand old opry where Old Crow Medicine Show plays the first verse then Rucker come out and sings with them for the rest of it.
First: Thank you Stephen for another great bribe. Second: in total agreement with both of you as to the merits of each version. That being said, however, unless I can get Rucker’s vocals laid down on top of OCMS music, his is the version I’ll listen to. I reckon that other poor guy can’t help the way he sounds, bless his heart.
Bless his heart 🤣 After re-watching the song, I’m actually wondering if it was the harmonies that were the worst part about the OCMS version that caused it not to sound great. -Dustin
So you know about Lady Antebellum (Lady A) as the background vocals, but the woman in that group is the daughter of Laurie White ~ the woman that sang with Reba (Does He Love You).
This was Darius' real break in Country, so not really surprising that Hootie sorta sneaks in. But yeah will always take blue grass instrumentals over most any other. Thanks guys.
Interesting song here. The chorus was recorded as part of a demo record back in 1973 by Bob Dylan. 25 years later Ketch secor from OCMS wrote verses for it and they recorded it. Interesting way to get credit for co-writing a song with Dylan lol. I loved Hootie and the Blowfish and especially Darius' voice. However, he is just one of the latest who found they no longer had a pop audience so he turned to pop country. Neil Diamond tried it years ago too. Didn't work then. I would appreciate Darius more if he was paying dues and earning his country accolades. Charlie Daniels took over 30 years to get invited to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry, Darius was in town about 20 minutes when he got made a member. I do agree that I would listen to either if they came on though. Nicely written Ketch.
So they cut old barrel staves into triangle pieces and send them off (sorry but where they send them slips my mind) and they "power infuse" (whatever that means) the wood pieces with honey. They get them back and put the triangles in a mesh bag and insert it into the barrels to age for 9 more months.
@BourbonCountryReacts we were at Garrison Brothers over the 4th of July weekend and did the "Hye reserve tasting". That's where they told us about it. We did try the cask strength honey dew.......... it was awesome! (129 proof) And yes... I came home with a bottle!
Darius definitely benefits from those background vocals from the group Lady A - if you haven't listened to them you should, they have amazing harmonies. Check out "I run to you".
I adore the OCMS version - the Darius Rucker version is ok, but doesn't hold the same place in my heart. I saw OCMS in concert soon after Wagon Wheel came out and they put on a hell of a show.
I appreciate hearing the OCMS version, and I agree that the Darius version was engineered. BUT, I saw Hootie and the Blowfish live last month. When they played this song, I think it was the loudest the crowd was!
I agree, both versions are great. I prefer Old Crow Medicine Show version more. First, I heard them first. Second, I like the simple and pure sound of them.
@@BourbonCountryReacts lol I could have been mean. Learn to tale a little criticism. You do a show about drinking and don't expect some ribbing. Now who isn't the smart one? Richard
Except, you're not even close original. We've heard that crap so many times. And it's never "some ribbing." It wasn't this time either. Anyway, I doubt Dustin will mark your vote. I could be wrong. - Keith
Mean Mary, is great. If you're look for another fiddle player that's fast is Megan Mullins. She is currently playing with Alabama and is from Fort Wayne.
I guess I have to say I prefer the Darius Rucker version.Just because I heard it first.But I do like OCMS version too.I don't know but everytime I go to say their name I want to say Old Crow Medicine Hat. Lol
Darius has a unique voice singing those very straight notes but i do feel like it can get kind of easy to predict and boring. I got to see him live in Denmark when he was playing before Brad Paisley.
I just love Darius voice more but the musical arrangement of Old crow medicine show is more raw and not so engineered. And I love that, too. It’s a really good song. Thank you for the reaction! And basically for two reactions in one. And of course, thank you baby for bribing it. ❤
@@BourbonCountryReacts You don’t have to be sorry, Dustin! I actually like this song way better than the one he wanted to switch it too. lol 😂 This one is basically for me, because I like Darius voice so much. 😉
I like Old Crow Medicine Show's version the best. I agree Darius has the better voice, but the rawness of both the instruments AND the vocals together really makes me feel it.
Keith did you know the rumor is that Bob dyllon gave this song to old crow because he didn't know how to finish it. Maybe that would help on the deciding factor of which is best...old crow all the way, more of a bluegrass song than newer countrified
Btw if you have a vid out on this Sunday july 21 it will be my and my twin brothers sam birthday vote/request a boy named sue the official video my name is jacob we will be 23 years old
I definitely prefer Darius Rucker’s voice! I also liked the engineered version of the music better, but the raw version is okay. The second one was like nails on a chalkboard to me. I only tolerated it to see your reaction. (I’ve heard it before and still hate it.)
That’s the thing about music, we all get an opinion, but i think you agreed with our criticism, confused at how this equates to “hitting the bottle” -Dustin
Good to see the Duck Dynasty and Lady Antebellum folks all through it too.
Darius Rucker has such an amazing voice. I am so glad he made the move to country music.
I love that the Robertson family from Duck Dynasty is in this video! Uncle Si is the best 🥰 Lady Antebellum was there too!
Request for Toby Keith “I Wanna Talk About Me”
I'll second that ;-) ❤

Darius Rucker has a great voice. I enjoy his Country music songs but my first thoughts of him will always be of Hootie and The Blowfish.😊
Y'all have the distinction of being the first non-political video I've watched in 48hrs. Thanks for the escape from reality for a few minutes. 💞
Our pleasure! -Dustin
I get it. I live just outside of Butler, PA, so it isn't just watching videos. Can't even go to the store without somebody talking about it.
@@reneeeiier4818 I can imagine!! 💔
Absolutely great reaction gentlemen.
Thanks for showing both versions of this song . I never heard the Old Crow Medicine Shop one before and I like it more than Darius..
I live near Johnson City TN! There is a mural about the song
First: Thank you Stephen for another great bribe. Second: in total agreement with both of you as to the merits of each version.

Linda Davis sang that song with Reba

Bob Dylan originally wrote and recorded the chorus in 1973. OCMS added verses 25 years later and the song went platinum.

Where'd that info come from? - Keith

@@whystayhome19welcome to Texas heaven Garrison Brothers has some of the best bourbons in the world, Kentucky can kiss our ass!!
@@whystayhome19you got to come back when they drop the Cowboy cut it’s a big party then you get pure bliss once you get the bourbon
@stevebournite184 oh I agree!!!!
Predictable I am preparing my ghillie suit for Indiana already
Raw bluegrass is untouchable, but Darius did it justice, his voice is amazing
Both versions are awsome.It's hard to compare them.Because both of their singing styles are different.
Nice video.
Darius definitely benefits from those background vocals from the group Lady A - if you haven't listened to them you should, they have amazing harmonies. Check out "I run to you".
I adore the OCMS version - the Darius Rucker version is ok, but doesn't hold the same place in my heart. I saw OCMS in concert soon after Wagon Wheel came out and they put on a hell of a show.
One of the best shows I've ever seen. OCMS. Hillbilly Days. Pikeville, KY. - Keith
The group Lady Antebellum sang the background vocals.
I appreciate hearing the OCMS version, and I agree that the Darius version was engineered. BUT, I saw Hootie and the Blowfish live last month. When they played this song, I think it was the loudest the crowd was!
I bet that was an electric moment being there! -Dustin
I agree, both versions are great. I prefer Old Crow Medicine Show version more. First, I heard them first. Second, I like the simple and pure sound of them.
I like Darius rucker's version a lot better but then I grew up on country so that's what I know
Aaron Neville Grand tour would be nice and if you wanted to do a comparison it was originally done by George Jones.
After the "hitting the bottle" BS you posted, you expect us to take your suggestion into account? You're not very bright, are you? - Keith

I choose Darius always. I love his voice. Great reaction guys and I really enjoyed the comparison videos. Thanks Steven.
Glad you enjoyed it -Dustin
Predictable 😂😂😂😂
You gonna let him disrespect you like that Steve?! 😅 -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts it’s all good especially when I ship that Stillhouse to him 😝😝
Scrolled through the comments just to see Steve’s reaction. 😂
@@stevebournite184 dang it, that’s a punishment for me too… -Dustin
Mean Mary, is great.
If you're look for another fiddle player that's fast is Megan Mullins. She is currently playing with Alabama and is from Fort Wayne.
I'll look her up. - Keith
I guess I have to say I prefer the Darius Rucker version.Just because I heard it first.But I do like OCMS version too.I don't know but everytime I go to say their name I want to say Old Crow Medicine Hat. Lol
The name is a bit of a mouthful. - Keith
@BourbonCountryReacts Yes it is. Lol

Just in case you didn't know Bob Dylan was the first one to do wagon wheel Darius Rucker just covered it
Pretty sure Dylan wrote the chorus or part of it and ketch and/or all the OCMS guys wrote the verses.
you didn't finish off the whole video
I was gonna say the same thing! 😂
Ya pissed me off too
I went back and watched it. I don't care about Hootie getting out of bed. Glad we stopped at the end of the music. - Keith
I like Old Crow Medicine Show's version the best. I agree Darius has the better voice, but the rawness of both the instruments AND the vocals together really makes me feel it.
Same here. - Keith
❤❤❤

My preference is still Old Crow Medicine Show. Rucker is an amazing vocalist, though.
Agreed -Dustin
How do I send a bribe bottle and a song?
Check out or community page, there is a post on Bribes, and thanks for enjoying the channel with us! -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts Thank you.
Love the song but prefer the original by Old Crow Medicine Show. The video is awesome.
Btw if you have a vid out on this Sunday july 21 it will be my and my twin brothers sam birthday vote/request a boy named sue the official video my name is jacob we will be 23 years old
The fuck you talking about? Darius version of this song is fucking awesome
Ok we allow cussing on the comments but please be respectful we have women and children on the channel
Old Crow Medicine Show's version is better. I do love Darius' also.... just like OCM better.
I definitely prefer Darius Rucker’s voice! I also liked the engineered version of the music better, but the raw version is okay.
The second one was like nails on a chalkboard to me. I only tolerated it to see your reaction. (I’ve heard it before and still hate it.)
Believe Bob Dylan wrote this.
You didn't even go back and let the first song finish out
Upchurch- Midnight in Montgomery cover
I think yall have been hitting the bottle a little too much today. The singer in the second play should let someone else do the singing.
That’s the thing about music, we all get an opinion, but i think you agreed with our criticism, confused at how this equates to “hitting the bottle” -Dustin
Thanks for showing both versions of this song . I never heard the Old Crow Medicine Shop one before and I like it more than Darius..
