I think Western Swing is one of the greatest things to come out of my home State of Texas. Bob Wills was it's pioneer and Ray Benson's Asleep at the Wheel a most excellent Ambassador.
You have to hand it to Ray, he’s never been afraid to surround himself with the very best talent and let them shine. Same formula that made Bob Wills the King.
Asleep at the Wheel never fails to deliver when they're traveling on "Route 66" especially with the Quebe Sisters and the Clark Sisters on board...and a salute to Bobby Troup who wrote such a great song not to mention Nat King Cole who made it so popular.
I drove from Rock Springs Wyoming to North Platte Nebraska after midnight. I was tired. I didn't remember the drive. I was asleep at the wheel. Scary shit.
Two of my fav groups, saw Ray Benson in Atlanta a few months ago, waiting to catch up with the Quebes. All the UA-cams are great, plus every AATW cd great.
Fine that they did "The Girl I Left Behind Me." Bob Wills did a record of that back in the 1940's that was splendid, but not too much like the version here. The Wills band had lots of wind instruments, and the arrangement made them sound like the Ft Worth version of the Glenn Miller Orchesta, only much hotter. I wonder if Bob WIlls record of the "Buffalo Gals Twist" back during the Twist craze of 60 years ago had anything to do with him getting into the R'n'R HOF.
I agree man but this was probably bootlegged on an iPhone - who knows.. it just shows what freaking scary-good pros they are. Live performance throws all kinds of monkey wrenches at you - not being able to hear yourself is the kiss of death for a vocalist - but they still sounded great.
It's an all-volunteer crew, including cameras and sound. The show airs on PBS and on public and Armed Forces radio. It's a tremendous public service, even when the technical work is less than perfect.
Hello Harlan county. Kentucky 🌄🦌
Great Collab!
I walked into a dorm room in 1977 and my new roommate was playing some amazing music. I asked him who it was, and I’ve been a huge fan since.
Love Texas Swing & especially Asleep at the Wheel!! Beautiful

Much oblige WOODSONGS
GOD BLESS
AATW + the Quebes = match made in heaven. Bob Wills is smiling.
Very true

Emily Gimble on keys and vocals is terrific. I was always a Floyd Domino fan and Emily is puts a smile on my face too.
I have been a fan of AATW for over 50 years the Wheel keeps a rolling!

Good folks grassroots all day🎉
Anyone know if Asleep at the Wheel has ever performed Amazing Grace live?

Some of Saul Goodmans best work
sure miss Emily on the keys
The band should never compete with the voices. That bass was over powering. Where was that sound man? the Quebe sisters sound better than that.

The show usually features mostly acoustic acts. This more bodies and electic instruments than they usually see.
