So this is darn near the best song I've heard in a while. Agree? I'll buy anybody a ... beverage that can name the cameo near the video's start...and maybe another beverage to anyone who knows who wrote the chorus.

I'll agree. I downloaded it two or three months ago and if it were on vinyl or cassette it would be wore out by now.
Last month, I heard it covered by these guy's down on Beale's street and the dude said it was a Bob Dylan song, and I was like "He's probably just high a lot and thinks that the craggy voice of the OCMS guy is BD". He looked like the type to catch a trucker out of Philly himself, if you know what I mean.
Yet, low and behold when I got home I discovered it was written by him from the soundtrack of Pat Garret and Billy the Kid (as was Knocking on Heaven's Door). Which happens to be one of my favorite westerns.
Swamproot, I owe you a beverage. Trucker-catching guys seem to cover some good music in my experience.
As well as being unnecessarily knowledgeable on Dylan I'm from North Carolina so "Wagon Wheel" is right up my alley.
Not sure how much of a bluegrass/folk fan you are but Gillian Welch makes an appearance early on in the video. Her songs can get you down but her voice is amazing.
Thanks for the comment.
