This is an important historical artifact--an early effort by what would prove to be a classic duo who would continue to make great music together for more than 10 years. And I trust there's more to come in the story of their success. Note also the great song they chose to cover--an early example of Josh's sophisticated cross-genre tastes in music.
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
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.
@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.
Really nice performance. I hope that my son (now 13) becomes as good a singer as you boys were then, and continued to be, based on your Take 2 five years later.
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. Excellent jobs young men!
It's great to see young guys like you appreciating good music. I've been playing guitar for 15 years, and I hope I'll be as good as you, someday. From this and your covers of Leo Kottke, I can see that you have a natural talent. You need to get noticed by someone. Your guitar playing is on the professional level.
@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. :)
Good work gentlemen. As much as I like OCMS, you guys run a close second on this song. I like that you changed the word "toke" to "talk". I'll be singing it that way from now on.
Looking back at this after a few years, and especially comparing it to both the OCMS version and your own take 2, it's amazing how all over the place the tempo is in this. The enthusiasm of youth, I suppose I never realised it before.
After 15 years of listening. I sent this to my gal tonight as she’s checking out a OCMS concert in Nashville. It’s proof of the song. It’s absolute truth of the 2 fellas in the video. Thanks guys for 15 of amazing gifts
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 !!!
speaking as an old musician , this young man is extremely talented !! i was leasantly surprised !! very versitile !! banjo , gituar ,mandolin , these two are great !!
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.
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...
Listen close and you can still hear the 'baby fat' in Josh's voice. =smile= Showing a boatload of early talent. So glad these kids kept going to become the music men there are now.
I 've realized it was you guys who first introduced me to this wonderful song. Thank you! I've listened to dozens of "Wagon Wheel" covers. You've always had exceptional musical taste. Even when you were quite young.
you boys are so wholesome that at age 15 you had a nice long talk with a trucker out'a philly, and you waited until age 25 to have a nice long toke =) th-cam.com/video/ExewM309SVo/w-d-xo.htmlm40s
Anybody know what brand Carson's guitar is? I say it's an old Japanese lawsuit... Look at pick-guard and fret markers. A real Martin has double dots at 5th fret, and a single dot at 3rd. Not so on this one. Still, hard to know for sure. Any comments?
@darlinglinnie123 The Lead Singer is Carson McKee. He was 14 when that was recorded. He's now 18. Look for his other tunes on TH-cam. 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.)
i think you guys should say whatever word you want.. toke, talk, terrapin.. this is america boys! and to hippieveggiegirl: bob dylan in my opinion is the greatest songwriter of all time. but that doesnt mean you have to mimic him word for word.. if i wanted to hear it exactly how old crow or bob sings it i would listen to THEM! not these guys.. but for real you guys did an excellent job
@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.
@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. :)
Take any song...change it however you damn well please...own it...make it yours..give it YOUR "feel"...otherwise, you might as well be a jukebox! Good job!
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
@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!

The world is a better place simply because the two of you are still making music together. Beautiful!

Love it!
I think this was their first posted video, right? And they're what -- fourteen?
So beautiful...
Josh and Carson - you guys are rock / country stars at this early age. Love both your looks, the setting, the sounds, everything was cool!
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
young Josh and Carson...Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was magic in the air on this day. I keep coming back to this great version of wagon wheel. still searching for drake?
prefer this over the new version. good job!
Love this!!!
Totally agree, prefer this also, to later version, this more authentic / organic, especially with setting.
@@sth50100 God gotta work on your punctuation
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.
Great rendition! Good instrumentation, solid vocals, nice harmonies...plus you dudes have style. Keep up the good work.
YOU GUYS ROCK....................
This is the earliest of Josh's performances that I've seen. It's great to see his talents expand over so many years.
What an awesome job guys. Made my day to hear you guys sing and play this song.

Flawless!
@calciokicks Carson McKee (lead singer) was 14 when he made this video. Sang a G rated version back then in case Grandma was listening. :)
So Amazing...😍
Grandma was off-camera, singing bass.
That's Carson?! The sepia tone was a good call - this is an archival document.
You kids are great and certainly have a lot of potential! Keep it up guys!!
just cool good job chaps!!!
keep walking this path. Not promising, cause already good ! Appreciated in.....N-E France guys !
Wow ! it's so cool...Bravo !
Well done, guys! Very nice.
totally dig the banjo addition... i agree with RZ...TDU, you prob already are, but if not head down to the closest bar and get paid for your talent
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.
Excellent jobs young men!
Awesome guys!!! 5*s. Thanks, JBR.
Lovely lads, fair play
It's great to see young guys like you appreciating good music.

BEST cover ive heard ever.

Great you guys have a great thing goin

You guys are doing an awsome job,, Keep up the good work.....

@skiman451 I agree. Not bad at all. Would really sound good with a bass and fiddle.
wow thats awesome
Good work gentlemen. As much as I like OCMS, you guys run a close second on this song.
I like that you changed the word "toke" to "talk". I'll be singing it that way from now on.
very good, you guys are talented
Awesome
Nice cover. That's how I hear the song too.
Looking back at this after a few years, and especially comparing it to both the OCMS version and your own take 2, it's amazing how all over the place the tempo is in this. The enthusiasm of youth, I suppose
I never realised it before.
Fall is coming, could you recreate that set? Garage, leaves, clothing, wagon wheel? I bought a Q3HD after hearing your Zoom, thanks.
After 15 years of listening. I sent this to my gal tonight as she’s checking out a OCMS concert in Nashville. It’s proof of the song. It’s absolute truth of the 2 fellas in the video. Thanks guys for 15 of amazing gifts
how old was the dude that played banjo he can sing low
nowadays he can´t wtf jaja
Josh Turner yor not getting the lines right
Stephen Hartman He was a freshman in high school when this was made. And he’d been playing banjo for a couple of months.
@@yuri_lhr Sure he can. Check out his cover of Beach Boys version of "Aulde lang sane".
Well done boys! Hope to see more of your covers - this music is fantastic!
Actually i like this slightly more than the second version, its a bit less refined but more catchy. Good show guys..
I didn't even know this song was that old.
nice
Really Really GOOD! 5 stars from me!!!
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 !!!
I've followed your channel for awhile now. Can't wait to say I saw this video when it was new as you win your first Grammy
speaking as an old musician , this young man is extremely talented !! i was leasantly surprised !! very versitile !! banjo , gituar ,mandolin , these two are great !!
This is really good y 'all!

Just discovered you on September 4th, 2020--- I've missed out!
That's my birthday :) small world
Neighbors shed came in clutch ;)
This is so pure, music played from the Heart. Thanks so much.
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!

Hey Josh, used to work in radio, send me your professional contact details & I can pass along some of your stuff.
Hey, dude this is actually really good.... Hell of a lot better than I could do at 15. Better than I could do now, in all honesty.
Listen close and you can still hear the 'baby fat' in Josh's voice. =smile= Showing a boatload of early talent. So glad these kids kept going to become the music men there are now.
One of the best covers ever while at the same time adding your own little twist to it. Greed job
@dmfdmf1 Carson McKee, lead singer, The Other Favorites.
Your friend was Carson, isn't he. Why you call he Drake¿
They were in 8th grade and used "stage names": Drake (Carson) and JT (Josh). I'm not sure either of them even remembers why now, hahaha.
Guys! 'member Drake & Josh?
this is so awesome. one guitar, one banjo, one (sometimes two) voice. so simple, so beautiful. I love it. best version of this song ever.
I didn't know this song of OCMS was so old. I love it so much and time passes so quickly...
I 've realized it was you guys who first introduced me to this wonderful song. Thank you! I've listened to dozens of "Wagon Wheel" covers. You've always had exceptional musical taste. Even when you were quite young.
haha 0:16 "If i knew the lead i'd certainly play"
you boys are so wholesome that at age 15 you had a nice long talk with a trucker out'a philly, and you waited until age 25 to have a nice long toke =) th-cam.com/video/ExewM309SVo/w-d-xo.htmlm40s
Wow...you two blow me away! Perfect voice to accompany your style in this music...and the banjo just sounds like a bubbling brook or stream...awesome!
Anybody know what brand Carson's guitar is? I say it's an old Japanese lawsuit... Look at pick-guard and fret markers. A real Martin has double dots at 5th fret, and a single dot at 3rd. Not so on this one. Still, hard to know for sure. Any comments?
How old were you here? really good, pretty much only follow your music on youtube, for me you are in a different category, thanks.
Bella musica.. grandi musicisti...
Freshman in high school.
@darlinglinnie123 The Lead Singer is Carson McKee. He was 14 when that was recorded. He's now 18. Look for his other tunes on TH-cam.

now Carson voice deeper than Josh.... lol it just haps
I KNOW A WINNER WHEN GOD TELLS ME
Great job and amazing you've two been together for that long. Great team then and now.
you guys are my favorite thing ever.
i think you guys should say whatever word you want.. toke, talk, terrapin.. this is america boys!
and to hippieveggiegirl: bob dylan in my opinion is the greatest songwriter of all time. but that doesnt mean you have to mimic him word for word.. if i wanted to hear it exactly how old crow or bob sings it i would listen to THEM! not these guys.. but for real you guys did an excellent job
@riotsinlondon Dylan recorded a similiar song as a bootleg with the exact same chorus.

Take any song...change it however you damn well please...own it...make it yours..give it YOUR "feel"...otherwise, you might as well be a jukebox!
Good job!
Ive followed your channel for awhile now. I can't wait to say I saw this video when it was new as your winning your first Grammy
That open back throws the sound...or were you mic'd??
You lads did a kick ass job of that one. Very nice. I would just suggest its easier to rhyme roanoke with toke, rather than talk.
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
that was sick man. Seriously you guys are great!! Wish that I had such musical backrounds when I was your age.
@200000028 Music to my ears. Still learning on G. Where can i find your lesson vid? I lurked your channel and couldnt find it
Great job, Your guitar playing is much higher calaber than most people who play. Keep at it, and try to get yourself noticed.
@badbrian1 Drake is Carson McKee, Lead Singer, The Other Favorites. He's 18 now. 14 in this video.
@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!
This aged very well.
Josh looks like a very young Gram Parsons in this vid.
I laughed at Carson’s “had a nice long talk” 2:40
Also, JT is very committed to looking the part
from prudhoe bay Alaska working in the oil fields on north slope thax very good and good luck with all you do.
Going back to Josh/Carson roots - like Beatles in Germany.
I love this song, but how y'all did it...it meant a lot to me, especially during those circumstances. Thank you.
that was awesome, love it. You both did a great job.
I used to watch this video on a channel called 2000000028_
