Correct Answer: "Wagon Wheel"

The song "Wagon Wheel" was written by Bob Dylan and released on his 1973 album "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid." The song was originally recorded by Old Crow Medicine Show and released on their 2004 album "Big Iron World." In 2013, Darius Rucker released a cover of the song, which peaked at #1 on the Billboard Country charts.

The lyrics of "Wagon Wheel" tell the story of a man who is traveling West in search of a better life. He is weary from the journey and longs for home. The chorus of the song reflects his feelings of nostalgia and homesickness:

"Rock me Mama, like a wagon wheel; rock me Mama any way you feel/Hey Mama rock me/Rock me Mama like the wind and rain/Rock me Mama like a south-bound train/ Hey Mama rock me."

Despite its sad subject matter, the song has a catchy, upbeat melody that has made it a favorite among country music fans. It has also been used in a number of film and television productions, including the 2013 film "We're the Millers" and the television series "Nashville."

Darius Rucker's version of "Wagon Wheel" was produced by Frank Rogers, who has worked with artists such as Brad Paisley and Lady Antebellum. The cover features Rucker's smooth vocals backed by banjo and guitar. It was released as a single in 2013 and quickly rose to the top of the country charts.

Rucker is no stranger to success on the country charts. He first found fame as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish, a pop-rock band that achieved great popularity in the 1990s. In 2008, he released his first solo album, "Learn to Live," which featured the hit single "Don't Think I Don't Think About It." Since then, he has released four more albums and had nine No. 1 singles on the Country Airplay chart. In 2012, he became only the second African American artist to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

Darius Rucker's career demonstrates his versatility as an artist. He has found success in both pop-rock and country music. His cover of "Wagon Wheel" showcases his talent for creating catchy, toe-tapping tunes that are sure to get stuck in your head.
