FIRST TIME HEARING Darius Rucker - Wagon Wheel | COUNTRY MUSIC REACTION 

My wife and I took an anniversary trip to Charleston SC and we went to a bar that was supposed to have a live band but the booked band had to cancel. The bar owner apologized but said he had a fill-in. Darius Rucker stepped out and played and sang just him and his guitar. There was only about 20 of us in the bar. It was AMAZING.

She is 100% correct. That is the Robinson family from Duck Dynasty!

Darius was lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish. Listen to his song called If I Told You.

My favorite memory of this song was July 1st 2014. Philmont Scout Ranch just out Cimmaron NM. We had a late start it rained for the mile to the camp plus set up then we walked to this cabin out their. Us and another crew totaling 22 in all sat on this porch till it was dark. This was the last song of the night. It was a blessing to sing this song with those I loved.

He’s not the first black man to play county music. Check out Charley Pride sometime ❤ one of my favorites!

I’ve never heard this or the performer. I’m 63 thank you for bringing it out.

Darius grew up in South Carolina listening to all kinds of music. He formed a band in the 90s with college buddies which became hugely successful and after they broke up he decided he wanted to tap into his country roots but wasn't sure how the country music community would accept him and if those that knew him as Hootie would like his style of country music. Well, as a fellow Gen X'er who also grew up listening to all kinds of music and can readily alternate listening to rock, pop, country, classical, R&B, Latin, and oldies, I was excited to hear Darius sing country songs for the first time. I love how country music tells stories that are relatable to the common man and as I get older I find myself turning to country music more than the other genres that I still love. I was just hoping that he would be successful and that he'd release songs that would fit into the 90s style of country music and not the latest "Bro Country" fad which has little lasting value. Well, not only did he release great music but his songs are a perfect blend of who he is and what he wants to say. His voice lends itself well to the genre and he surrounds himself with great musicians. My favorite of his songs are It Won't Be Like This For Long, If I Yold You, So I Sang, and Come Back Song.

Such a good song and its sooo popular. BTW those are the guys from Duck Dynasty and the 2 people in the convertible are from the band "Lady Antebellum" now know as Lady A.

Charlie Pride, Ray Charles, sang country music Dobie Grey was on Hee Haw a country music TV show, Big Al Dowling

Darius Rucker is most awesome. He won my admiration as lead singer in Hoodie and the Blowfish. You gotta check them out. You, my brother and sister, give great analysis.

This song was originally done by Old Crow Medicine show.Bob Dylan wrote part of the song in 1973. Ketch Secor of Old Crow finished the song 25 yrs later.

One of my favorite songs, always put me in a good mood when listening.

Love Darius from my neck of the woods . My husband and I have been married 37 years best friends

shout out from Greenville, SC neighbors 🍻 Darius met all the guys from Hootie down here at University of South Carolina (Go Gamecocks 🤙🏻🐓)

Rucker did a fabulous job with this old song 🔥🔥❤️

Darius Rucker was HUGE in the mid 90s, but not as a country singer. He was lead singer of Hootie and the Blowfish who basically dominated popular music, their videos were on constant rotation on MTV/VH1. Their album Cracked Rear View was the top selling album of 1995 and had four top hits on it.

Charlie pride just passed away sang since the 60s Kane Brown Jimmie Allen All black men who sings country music

Oh Marcus, your comment at 5:30 had me rolling. I'm new here and have just started watching your reactions. My father and I were watching the Country Music Cable channel and Charlie Pride was playing. He was one heck of a singer.

Not the first...look at Charlie Pride...Darius was/is the lead singer of "Hootie and the blowfish". At the end it was Lady A.... and old crow medicine show. Not to mention Duck Dynasty folks

Another fellow Carolinian. I live in a small SC town called Heath Springs

Darius is from South Carolina, BTW.

A very good cover song

And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14

I live in Johnson City, Tennessee! Love that its in this song!

They started at the university of South Carolina as hootie and the blowfish

You guys are so funny. I love watching your videos. Great couple.

Yes it was Duck Dynasty, love you both and reactions thank you ❤sending ya'll love from Lafayette Georgia 🍑

My daughters best friend was sh*t and ki*lled at a workplace violence incident, Wagon Wheel was his absolute favorite song. His passing is close to being 1. Year. Hearing this song makes us think of him. And he was only 20 years. He would have been 21 next month.

That family in video has an adopted black son. The Robinson family. They have great show. Very religious 🙏🏻

Does anybody know the female vocalizing with Darius at the end? She has a beautiful voice and it goes so well with his.

Charleston SOUTH Carolina

Check out the singer Charley Pride, song Kiss An Angel Good Mornin.

I love playing this song on my guitar. But this song is a remake. The original i believe is by the old crow medicine show and this song is way way older but idk what year.

The Scottish and Irish brought country music, corn whiskey, and moonshine

I saw an interview with Darius where he told about his sister ratted him out to his mother for listening to "white" music. Darius follows his own road.

you think thinkl I'm lying till you live here

Always Hootie to me!!

Darius is from Columbia, SC but lives in Charleston SC now

He's from Charleston SC i'm pretty sure

New subscriber here, old school country boy here if you haven't yet. Please react to charlie Pride one of the best voices in country music history

I don't think it was released 10 years ago. RU-vid has gone through changes so even Britney Spears early releases will be like 10 years ago on the site even if the song was in 1998.

Please Please Please listen to ''' The End of The Beginning''' by David Phelps you won't regret it.

Actually y'all might be surprised at how many black are country music fans

He is from hoodey and the blowfish

Darius Solo career away from Hootie and the Blowfish

The original is better
