Now, on to this week!
Who Did it Better? “Wagon Wheel”
Jason Mann (with Rob Benedict and Richard Speight Jr)
VS
Old Crow Medicine Show

Lily Kershaw
……and, although they won’t even be in the running because I feel as though I’m the only one with an unhealthy love of a capella I’m adding in
The Clef Hangers
And, for AJ @ A Petite Slice of Life (because, I try to get versions that sound different from each other, and I find their versions too close in sound, I’ll add Darius Rucker. I found his version too close to Old Crow Medicine Show, so I didn’t add him!)

Old Crow Medicine Show. The video reminded me of my wayward misspent youth at the local county fair. I was a pre-teen back long ago, and the fairs still had “hootchie-cootchie” shows. We would sneak around into the dark shadows, lift up the bottom of the tent and try to catch an eyeful of forbidden female flesh. I remember briefly seeing hips swaying and tassels orbiting around swinging orbs. I can’t remember how many times we were chased away from our peek-shows, but it was a lot more than once. At school the next day or week you can imagine what the conversation centered on in our crowd. Ah, such sweet memories! 🙂

Ha ha! Well, that sounds like a WONDERFUL childhood! Not misspent! I’m sure we’ve all had our forbidden peeks at SOMETHING when we were young… Mine was more in the horror movie variety. Ha ha! But, we all had our sneaky vices, I’m sure! 😂
Thanks for the vote!!

Ha ha ha!!!!!! You DO know that country and folk (or “Americana” as they call it now) are HUGE right now… Right?? Maybe YOU need to join 2019! (I say as I’m not a huge fan….) but, I DO love this song!

No me neither, it’s mostly Mr.Fraggle likes the country binds. My tastes are more refined of course.

Lol! I thought of it… It sounded too much like old crow medicine show and I was trying to get versions that sounded different. 😅 I’ll put you down for a vote for him and I’ll add his video for you. 😊

I liked Jason Manns best, but admit I couldn’t get Darius Rucker to play. I liked Lily too, though. These are hard, Nicole, when the sounds are so different.

I like to go with choices that all have a different vibe to them. It proves that a song can be good in so many different ways! ❤️

Tough. REALLY tough. I like Darius better by a hair. But Lilly is outstanding too!

Ha ha!! I like that you base it on Darius’ hair! 🤣🤣 Lily’s voice almost reminds me of a young Dolly Parton.
