Editing Driving wheel (section)

==In popular culture==
Many American roots artists, such as [[The Byrds]], [[Tom Rush]], [[The Black Crowes]] and the Canadian band [[Cowboy Junkies]] have performed a song written by [[David Wiffen]] called "Driving Wheel", with the lyrics "I feel like some old engine/ That's lost my driving wheel."<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Chris-and-Rich-Robinson/Driving-Wheel| title=Lyrics: Driving Wheel| website=MusixMatch| access-date=July 8, 2017}}</ref>

These lyrics are a reference to the traditional blues song "Broke Down Engine Blues" by [[Blind Willie McTell]], 1931.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://genius.com/Blind-willie-mctell-broke-down-engine-blues-lyrics| title=Broke Down Engine Blues| website=Genius| access-date=July 8, 2017}}</ref> It was later directly covered by [[Bob Dylan]] and [[Johnny Winter]].

Many versions of the American folk song "[[In the Pines]]" performed by artists such as Leadbelly, [[Mark Lanegan]] (on ''[[The Winding Sheet]]''), and [[Nirvana (band)|Nirvana]] (On ''[[MTV Unplugged In New York]]'') reference a decapitated man's head found in a driving wheel.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://songmeanings.com/songs/view/3530822107858607935/| title=Lead Belly - In the Pines| website=Song Meanings| access-date=July 8, 2017}}</ref> In addition, it is likely that Chuck Berry references the locomotive driving wheel in "Johnny B. Goode" when he sings, "the engineers would see him sitting in the shade / Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made."
