Yep, definitely the best version out there. Can't knock "the original" from old crowe medicine show (Dylan doesn't really count), but this is just so much better.
Had the great pleasure of seeing Matt (and a host of others) drop into a local pub after performing a gig across the street. For over 2 hours there was a constantly rotating lineup of stellar blues players hanging out with each other and playing what they liked. Fantastic evening that I just happened to luck into on my way home. No cover, no pomp, no egos .... just a hellaciously fine jam session.
"I gotta say, you're a good lookin' bunch when you get on your feet.... " -Matt Anderson - 2:40 The clapping, the standing, the people in the way.... I think it was perfect. Matt loved it. I loved it. Fuck yeah....
*Thank you* so much for this video ~ It is October 22 2020 and here in my HOME we APPRECIATE your efforts and CONTENT ! haha ~ Happiness to you and your Family, Friends and Relations ~ Always ~ Suse & Crew Vancouver Island BC CANADA ~*~
I’ve never seen a better live show than Matt his chair, guitar, and hair lol. It was incredible, I got the tickets through happenstance and it is still one of my favourite nights ever. Getting to talk with him after was amazing! Gentleman through and through.
i dont believe in talent.. i believe in dedication :) talent is apparently something were born with, matt had to put in hours to be this good... just thought id share a view :) id like to hear your views on talent
Matt was just here in Ottawa and I couldn't be there cuz my mom passed away and I was at the funeral, but man, I hope he comes back around. I loooove this talented man! He is showing the supposed big talents how it's done.
I heard this song several times when I was recovering from a car accident in Kilkenny, Ireland. I got Nathan Carter's version off iTunes. I need this version too! He absolutely kills this song in the best way possible!
I don't know if Matt reads this, but I am a New Yorker, who does not like country music, and I think this is fantastic. You sing and perform with such joy, that I am sharing this video on my Facebook to hopefully get you a bunch more hits. A very good cover, and a very nice performance.
Every one else take a seat! Matt just took this song to a whole different level. Could not ever listen to another version of this song and say " Matt did it better"! Kevin
Just got introduced to this guys music tonight at a bonfire...AMAZING! Listened to this over and over for the last couple hours...I need to see him live!
I just found out about this song, learned how to play it.. and then find this guy who has almost my exact name. And i cant compete with his cover. Well done!
A friend of mine just promoted Matt Andersen on a mini tour through eastern Ontario...didn't get to see it myself, but I guess it was simply amazing. People on their feet, at almost every sold-out show. Trying to get him back through Ottawa and such this fall. Check it out - the best description I heard was "you lose yourself"...I can't wait!!!
Hearing Matt Andersen for the first time today Thankful for TH-cam today... What a marvelous discovery.. Thank you .... Rock me .. just like that wagon wheel
As a native Nashvillian, I can say that the commercial music industry ruins a lot of people by stifling their creativity. Matt is way too good for that. He sings all styles and does it well. I prefer him being himself, doing whatever he wants.
Matt opened for OCMS last night in Kalamazoo, MI. An amazing guitarist and singer. Came out & played with the band midway thru their set,3 songs if I remember right. Then OCMS had him come out for the encore. A class act all the way around. I had never heard Matt before, but he is good.
Brilliant. This man is one of Canada's best musicians. Saw him live. I was at a Satlscapes show and he and a number of other musicians were playing. I froze in my steps. Absolutely amazing talent. Cannot wait until he comes to Haliax again.
One man, one guitar, a great voice, and the talent to keep a song like this rockin! Thanks to Bob Ault for putting this guy on TH-cam. Brandonlikesdmb is right - this guy's voice is insane! As good as any of the excellent rockers from the 60's and 70's, and better than most.
Matt has some excellent "studio" albums featuring primarily original music. You might check out earlier CD releases, "Solo at Sessions" & "Live at Liberty House", online that feature a selection of cover recordings.
May be cause I am drunk right now, but why do I always come back to this song by Matt to remind me of home? I love it, your one of the best Matt. Hope you know it.
just discovered this guy. he is the real deal in so many ways. it isn't hard to see he is genuine.very sincere in his performance.a great talent and he's canadian whoot whoot
simply unbelievable...this guy kicks ass totally..one of the best artists ive ever heard...he puts so much feeling into the lyrics,it almost brings tears to my eyes
11 years later and it's still the best version I've heard. He's such a talented musician!
Yep, definitely the best version out there. Can't knock "the original" from old crowe medicine show (Dylan doesn't really count), but this is just so much better.
@@MasonH24 We cannot forget Darius Rucker. He is the one that helped this song get traction. It's just a good ole American song anyway you look at it.
@@kellyjo6978 Darius' version is trash.
You tryna say this fat bastard is better than Darius?
He’s good but no where near the original, let alone Darius.
13 years later still the best version 😂😂
This is the only version of wagon wheel I play now. Damn man!
Dude outplayed his venue by about 30,000 seats
👍
That Dude outplayed venues his whole career. Effin' awesome. 👍
He deserves it. Truly incredible
Incredible comment. With your permission I'm going to steal it.
Seriously.
I keep coming back to this version for peace and serenity. Very hard time in my life right now and this honestly soothes my soul. Thank you, Matt.
Sending blessings,I see matt live last night in cape breton Island phenomenal
Hope life got better for you.
@@Wangchung405 i forgot about this. Life is incredible now. Total 180 from before. Thank you for checking in! I hope you are doing great as well ❤
@@GoBills_716 that’s awesome to hear! I am thank you!
“You’re the reason i leave home.” So much more emotion in that line than at first listen
Incredible, what an amazing musician. This is what the world needs.
WOW! One of the best performances of this song ever recorded
Uzeil21 One? You mean THE BEST. LOL.
..and ruined by the audience.
Had the great pleasure of seeing Matt (and a host of others) drop into a local pub after performing a gig across the street.

-Matt Anderson - 2:40
The clapping, the standing, the people in the way.... I think it was perfect. Matt loved it. I loved it. Fuck yeah....
This is probably my favorite version of wagon wheel...period. This man needs to come to America... NOW.
Hands down my favorite performance and rendition of this song with all due respect to Old Crow Medicine Show and Darius Rucker.
Once you hear this version, no others will compare. Still the best.
Passion
I've watched this about a dozen times and I've had a smile on my face every time!
He does that to me whenever he plays. Nice comment. 👍
The first 30 seconds were spent summoning the demon of old crow medicine show.
I just screamed lol.
W
nice!
I can't like this enough
Hahaha you're funny!!!!
This man is of singular talent. One of a kind. Exuding passion with every lick and ever word.
this is one of my FAVORITE versions of Wagon Wheel. Matt, your voice and passion is just beautiful. I could watch this over and over again!
Hi ,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
I used a Canon Power Shot SX10 IS with a 20X zoom lens. I am very happy with the sound quality.

2021, a year into this pandemic and watching this makes me miss how life used to be.

He's incredible. Puts on an amazing live show.
I’ve never seen a better live show than Matt his chair, guitar, and hair lol.
It was incredible, I got the tickets through happenstance and it is still one of my favourite nights ever. Getting to talk with him after was amazing! Gentleman through and through.

i dont believe in talent.. i believe in dedication :) talent is apparently something were born with, matt had to put in hours to be this good... just thought id share a view :) id like to hear your views on talent
+Danny Bond (OneDoesAll) you put in the hours matt has, see if you get anywhere near him ;) only one man is born with that voice
Quoze this much is true but you need hard work and dedication to achieve anything in life
+Danny Bond (OneDoesAll) very true my man, no doubt a lot of work went into his career
+Quoze Im better than mat and i have never sung before
As soon as he started to sing I got this rush of chills down my back. Amazing voice and style!!!! good stuff man.
That happens to me everytime I play any of his songs lol
Matt was just here in Ottawa and I couldn't be there cuz my mom passed away and I was at the funeral, but man, I hope he comes back around. I loooove this talented man! He is showing the supposed big talents how it's done.
Thank god for music. He is doing exactly what he loves to do, and giving us something to believe in. Thank god for Matt Anderson.
I heard this song several times when I was recovering from a car accident in Kilkenny, Ireland. I got Nathan Carter's version off iTunes. I need this version too! He absolutely kills this song in the best way possible!
Love it, great voice. Always fun to find new artist to listen to :)

Hi my friend,how are you doing?

Kevin
+Kevin O'Rourke Agree best version of this tune I have heard and I have many...
OCMS comes close
I have heard the original and three other covers. This is by far the best version....
Nothing compared to ocms and darius at the ole oprey. Thats the best version by far imho
This cat can sing and is a damn good picker, would love to see him with Stapleton and or Simpson. He is really good
Just got introduced to this guys music tonight at a bonfire...AMAZING! Listened to this over and over for the last couple hours...I need to see him live!
I just stumbled on this guy,, holy shit,, im hooked!! wow,,, love this guy
I remember Matt as a kid who wouldn't even sing, he's came a long way from there. Matty Boy I am happy to be a friend. OCMS cover is awesome!!!! Jonny
F**K ME...one guy....one guitar....one voice....SO MUCH talent....What more can I say!!!!
I just found out about this song, learned how to play it.. and then find this guy who has almost my exact name. And i cant compete with his cover. Well done!
My god... What a voice!
Got that right! This guy is a serious talent. We've seen him 5 or 6 times, and he gets better and better!!!
I'd love to see him live. Hopefully he will come to Ohio some time soon.
Oh my gosh this voice wow!!
You know someone does a good cover when you look up the original and immediately come back to the cover!! See ya Thursday Matt!!
I need to see this guy play a show. I just can`t believe I had to stumble upon this guy on TH-cam.

best cover of wagon wheel ever !!! well played
Hearing Matt Andersen for the first time today
Thankful for TH-cam today...

This guy gives two hundred percent. I sure hope Nashville does not turn there back on this guy. Like they have so many other's over the years.
I hope Nashville doesn't come close to this guy
Joe Werner
Good thing he's Canadian, gotta love our own.
As a native Nashvillian, I can say that the commercial music industry ruins a lot of people by stifling their creativity. Matt is way too good for that. He sings all styles and does it well. I prefer him being himself, doing whatever he wants.
it's ok, he's a Canadian boy and we got his back haha
Pure unadulterated talent!!! The vocals & acoustic’s are unbelievable.
This guy is great,deep powerful voice,big heart!!!
Just watched his feed from Stan -fest. A truly tallented singer!
Keep sharing your voice ! Makes people happy !
Still giving me goosebumps Mattie.
Graiskye Same here, regards from Norway:)

for real you'r the best Matt.. awesome performance
My all time favourite country song being sung by this stellar dude. Big thumbs up
The galloping strumming in the intro is fantastic
This is just fantastic. It's the best version I've heard!
If believer's in Jesus lived their lives with the passion that Matt displays, this world would be a much better place.
Amen. Thank you Matt. Come Lord Jesus.
@@David-ec9xfsky daddy seems to not give a sh it
No joke, probably the best cover I have ever heard of this song!!!
damn best cover i ever heard! even better than when i sing it, and it says alot ;) got chills like a crazy person over here!
I'm away from home at school, alone, without family close.
Listening to this, makes it feel not so far away. Thank you, Matt Anderson.
Matt exudes talent...he is the best live performer around these days!!
Awesome job Matt, thank you....you really sang that with all your heart and soul !!!!
great guitar work , one of the best covers
So happy I stumbled upon this song again. Been close to 10 years I think 🙏🙏
Effin AMAZING!!! And he's from my province too! Can't believe I never heard of him before!
Caught Matt's show a few years back in Huntsville, ON Can. Been a big fan ever since.
I'd totally hire him for an event. Absolutely amazing. Matt, if I win the lottery, I'll be calling on you 😉
We're has he gone, love it, it about time he be known to all, there are great people out there to make it happen.
O yer my man
I'm gonna see him Friday! In the Netherlands, Hengelo.
Yess!
How was it?
Brilliant. This man is one of Canada's best musicians. Saw him live. I was at a Satlscapes show and he and a number of other musicians were playing. I froze in my steps. Absolutely amazing talent. Cannot wait until he comes to Haliax again.
hey man. ..your music is the bomb
Chills, every time. Man, I have been wanting to see Matt play live for so long. Hopefully someday. Always broke when he comes to town 🙄😆
What is Matt Anderson? He's complete freakin magic.
I'm not from New Brunswick so i cannot say i'm proud to be from NB, but I can whole heartedly say this makes me proud as hell to be a Maritimer !
His hair flipping is almost as good as his voice
Can't disagree, but I think it didn't really fit the song
Wolff
It was his way of getting into the 'zone', where the song comes alive. The mark of a great artist.
Read this comment before he started singing, and thought "damn this is bouta be good".
Love redheads. Huge personality. Its natures warning sign. Lol
Sometimes ya have to line up the hammer to drive the nail..... and Matty boy drives it.
My son and I saw him in Portland Oregon . He was incredible. Very intimate show. Please come back to Portland Matt!
One man, one guitar, a great voice, and the talent to keep a song like this rockin! Thanks to Bob Ault for putting this guy on TH-cam. Brandonlikesdmb is right - this guy's voice is insane! As good as any of the excellent rockers from the 60's and 70's, and better than most.

Everyone moaning about the clapping...I bet you would be joining in as well . I know I am watching it on TH-cam.
Rock me mama!
This is what I was thinking watching this. You can't hate the enthusiasm and participation just please be on proper timing
Normally audience participation in concert videos is a nuisance, but, here, it adds to it. So good.
Hi ,how are you doing,how is the weather treating you?
Better than the original
Watching this makes me smile and crying and I do not even know why. Wow. Speechless
Matt Andersen Rocks!
Wow..what a unique show,you'r the best,greetings from Italy
