‘Cultured Country’ with Jim & Lisa – This Week: ‘Wagon Wheel’
Another Throwback Thursday here on Kicker 102-5 and that means another chance to get some culture in our lives with Sir John and Cultured Country. It' was another Wow moment for me too when I realized that this week's featured song lyrics were from over 8 years ago... we're talking Darius Rucker's big hit song "Wagon Wheel". So, here we go with Lisa's old man Sir John and Cultured Country.
Just hit the play button below and away we go...
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar, I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-gettin' me down
Lost my money playin' poker, so I had to leave town
But I ain't a-turnin' back to livin' that old life no moreSo, rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey... mama rock me
Yeah, rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey... mama rock me
"Cultured Country," listen for it Thursday mornings at 7:45 with Jim & Lisa, "The Wakeup Crew," on Kicker 102.5.
Here's the way it sounds when Darius sings it...
How It Works: The premise is simple, country music lovers like us are generally thought of as un-cultured, so to fight this ridiculous notion and bring what we consider a little more refinement to our show, we thought having someone from jolly old England read some country music lyrics, out loud, on the radio might raise the culture bar a notch or two. Since we don't have any access to the Royals and the only Brit we know in the immediate area just happens to be Lisa's husband John, that's the way we went.
