These country and western songs that tell stories are the most foot tappin, head bobbing songs ever!!
That's what they for, Son!!
Been an Asleep of the fan since 16. I'm 65 now and they're still my favorites! Thank you all for 45 years of pure happiness.🎉
I met ray benson thru a freind let me tell you he is a nice guy ! A gentel giant tall !
I'll second that motion, at 64 years young!!
This is absolutely fantastic...this song can't be done entirely on Rock. It has to have a Country Western Twist to it. It's what makes this song come life. The girl with the Steel Guitar did an amazing job on the song. This song is an all-time favorite of mine.
Commander Cody did it justice but hearing it done by Asleep At The Wheel was the best!
Mine too!
Piss poor version of this song. Shut up Joe.
@@kimschultz7598 I heard the Charlie Ryan virgin, who wrote it, and both Cody and Asleep are better, ATW and then Cody.
And they still crush this song to this day.
I never truly appreciated a steel guitar until I watched this. She's amazing!
Cindy got a lot of great sounds out of her steel guitar. Killer job on this song. Very impressive. Prettiest smile and cutest dimples ever to be with The Wheel. She earned and deserved her place.
Hands down, this beats anything being played on today's "country music" radio by a Texas mile. Easily.
Talented people sharing their gifts with us common folks. Kind of refreshing!
It's amazing how one song can be so memorable to so many people 😊❤️
Love this guy! Saw him in NJ back in '86. What a show. Thanks UA-cam for keeping him alive.
The Best!!
Best version ever and that girl is awesome 😎 Love this song from the first time I heard it back in the 70's 😊❤️😎
I could hear this song over and over and still giggle!
1971 at Holy City Ca, saw Sleep at the Wheel. Papa John Creech. Back when a 4 finger bag cost $10.
Best version that I will ever hear.It will never get old 😊❤️
We seen Asleep At The Wheel back in the late 80's. We partied with the band afterwards at the bar in Rifle Colorado. Had a blast!!!
Lived in Loveland for a while , wish I was still there. Like how he is cracking up with Cindy's sound effects at 2:45 .
Love this song . My son played it for my birthday last night and I danced with my grandchildren laughing the whole time . Yes this song makes one some and enjoy music like this very much .
This will never get old 😊❤️
OMG!!! That song is great and “Asleep at the Wheel” did the song so awesome. Ray, the guitarist was awesome and the steel guitar player was so fantastic playing the part. She knew exactly what to do on that guitar. I loved the song when Commander Cody did it and I still love it now. To say again, AWESOME, TOTALLY AWESOME!!!! 😃😃😃😃
Patricia Arnold, that's Cindy Cashdollar (yes, her real name) on lap steel guitar (ie, no pedals). You can find her on UA-cam playing with various bands and musicians, showing her guitar collection, and talking about what it was like to grow up Cashdollar...
Love the steel player...tune sounds killer..
Plus the smile and dimples!
I spent many a night dancing to these guys at the Broken Spoke back in the day. Oh what a time it was!
Ken says "me too, he used to help set up these guys at Broken Spoke"
God bless Texas
Never stops being awesome 😎❤️
Girl on steel guitar was great
Speaking for myself, the main reason I watch this vid on loop. Sorry, Ray.
That's Cindy Cashdollar. She has a a great solo CD called "Slide Show" that features her playing with a number of other great steel and dobro players like the late, great, Herb Remington, Sonny Landreth, Lucky Oceans, Mike Auldridge, Johnny Nicholas, etc. I saw her perform once with an all-woman backup band for Dave Alvin called the "Guilty Women". She played all manner of slide instruments like a three neck (non-pedal) console steel (like in this video), lap steel, dobro, etc.
@@callmejeffbob Plus, she's a total babe.
She was only in the band briefly.
I do appreciate a good steel guitar player!
My pops had me listen to this when i was a kid. Took some time to appreciate but now i love it so much. Special music that
Wonderful V8 story , i love it , all people at the top . What a beautiful time! Music from the heart♥♥♥🥰🥰😍😍👍👍👍
😃2019 THIS SONG STILL LIT🔥💖😄OH!
"F-in A" brother !!
Boogie Woogie 😎🤘
Love this music, it just makes me smile! Not a lot does that these days, that makes this just that much more special. Thanks for this! 👍🎶🤗
If you love this you need to get sirius/xm and tune in channel 59, willie's roadhouse, where they play nothing but 50's-80's honkytonk music and Ray Benson has his own show. Also the evening show hosted by paula nelson is hysterical.
@@randysheetz690 Thanks for that! I've got Sirius XM but I haven't come across that channel. I will definitely check it out.
Hang on Sloopy. :)
Love this stuff....great song. Just a lot of fun.
Yes Sir!
Cindy Cashdollar is a treasure.
Song brings back so many memories with my pops in his semi back in 80-90s. He had the rotella tape collection that had this on it& others
This is a great rendition of an old tune excellent musicians they sound really good, just something about Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen that give this song an extra punch
Yep. A song from 1955 , but Commander Cody put it on the map in 1971 . Was played on the rock and roll stations in L A along with Joe Cocker, Moody Bllues, and Rolling Stones . Was very popular song there. Interesting how these old songs get popular if they are tweaked just right. This song hit #9 out of the Billboard hot 100, and #7 in Canada. Not too bad for a song from 1955. Asleep does well on it.
Gotta say, I don't think anyone beat the Charlie Ryan original.
One heck of a flashback from my era! And of course, I've never done any of that "hot roddin'" or "asleepat the wheel"!! Lol! One ton of thanks goin' out to this talented group, for doin' this number and makin' this ol' mans eyes leak in remembrance!
I lived in lake tahoe in the 70's and Ray and the band were regulars in the main floor cabaret. I could stand outside and watch or go inside and buy a few and really get a great show. Either way, they nailed the shows like true pros!
Hey do you remember BB King playing that same room about 100 times?
Seen many times and with different members. Dug the original band best but they all got me dancing.
I have been listening to this song for 65 years, originally on a 78 rpm record. I wish that people who cover it would use the original lyrics (it really was a Lincoln V12, not a V8 that Charlie Ryan owned and based the song on), but this is by far the best cover of this song ever. Sorry Commander Cody, but it's true.
YES !!!!$!!$ Love it , I REMEMBER !!!!! You go man , didn't know there were any of us left !!!
Just love romantic songs like this. Cheers.
Awesome performance all the way round
Probably the best version out there! Well done!!
I've watched this about every day for a month.....lol.
"Hot Rod Lincoln"
Cars go faster than a mind can think
Follow to close you'll hit a brake light
So always signal your blinkers do blink
Night driving requires lights on bright
And rethink having to much to Drink
I’d have to argue there that Commander Cody’s version was better but this was a great cover too.
I was listening to Johnny Bond singing this song on the way to work this morning (XM Radio). When I was coming home from work this evening I heard Commander Cody (George Frayne) had died and the DJ played his version of "Hot rod Lincoln" as a tribute...
I love all these guys, RIP George.
I know, I loved George and his version of this song. I'm an old lady with an old Lincoln & you just can't wear this old girl out 💕
This was the song I sang in 2016 when I was semi comatose and recovering from brain anuerisms.
Can't get enough 😊❤️
Lovin' that rendition of an old timer's tune! ... (from one old Lincoln driver).
This song was written by Charlie Ryan of Spokane Washington and he would sing it at The Hauser Lake Inn just east of Spokane. I heard him do it often. The truth was he had to change the lyrics to say he was going out of San Pedro and North on the Grape Vine when actually he had the memory to write the song about a trip that he had coming out of Lewiston Idaho going north on the Lewiston Grade heading for Spokane. But no body knew where Lewiston Idaho was so he substituted San Pedro California and the Grape Vine. Now you know the rest of the story.
Ray Benson, is his name? Massive talent & stage presence.
Yes, that is Ray Benson. He is a big dude as well!!
Always a great song for many years !
I love this!
Brilliant !
Love it!
Ray just keeps re inventing the band!
I was watchin the pedal steel the whole song!😍
It's not a pedal steel, just a steel guitar, no pedals. But yeah I was watching it too.
@@collectiques1 She's a keeper , don't let her get away , Mr Benson. Just sayin'.
That's Cindy Cashdollar. She has a a great solo CD called "Slide Show" that features her playing with a number of other great steel and dobro players like the late, great, Herb Remington, Sonny Landreth, Lucky Oceans, Mike Auldridge, Johnny Nicholas, etc. I saw her perform once with an all-woman backup band for Dave Alvin called the "Guilty Women". She played all manner of slide instruments like a three neck (non-pedal) console steel (like in this video), lap steel, dobro, etc.
You can tell how old the video is by the Peavey Amps on stage . And Cindy Cashdollar is still fantastic .
Hey! Peavey is good stuff!!!
@@keithmcclellan4350 - yes it was in it's day, I had several amps in it's model runs . I don't see it much anymore .
IN 1965 I SAW THE BEACH BOYS AT THE ATLANTA CITY AUDITORIUM. 4 AMPS TWO MIKES- THEY BLEW THE ROOF OFF !
@@keithmcclellan4350 They were sturdy anyway, or so I hear.
I saw his concert back in the eighties in Fredericksburg tx
Saw them last weekend in Sellersville Pa. Fantastic show!
Love this song it reminds me of my brother and my Dad I can him calling my brother hot rod Lincoln
This is exactly why my grandma didn't know that she's a rock and roll and metal music at the same time because he was disguised as bluegrass and blues put a wonderful amalgam of all of those things
Great song!
Superb performance thank you so much for your great music
Agree! love this Band!!!
Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen would approve.
@1800nunyabiz So true but Commander Cody recorded a popular version in the late 60's. I was fortunate to see them live around '69 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. Great show.
And I think Charlie Ryan would approve.
Yeah ,but nobody beats the bogey man...
at The Palomino on Lankershime in LA
...but they would say their version was more REAL!
They are great!
Love that song 👍
Fun song! First time I heard it was the Dr. Dimento show on KMET out of LA back in the early 80s... Good memories
Super great!!!
I was of that era. Great job.
That was fun!
Great job!
I saw them once in Dallas in 2001 at the George Strait music festival. Great band and great song.
Great tune, great band......peace
I love old country tunes 👍👍👍
Love it y'all! And I'm from Texas too!
Very cool !
Classic 😊❤️
DONE TO PERFECTION - BRAVO!!!!!!!!

Reverend Horton Heat does a great version of this , put his is called “five -o Ford” .
Sounds great live as it did in the recording studio.
Best cover of a cover Ever!!! Good job guys and thanks for posting this.... made my day...... subbed and thumbs up....... gt
the tall man rules!
"I looked in my mirror, red light was blinkin' the cops was after my hot rod Lincoln." Man, I know that feeling really well from my muscle car days.
After 3 speeding tickets in 6 months and a suspended licence, I sold my muscle car (63 Ford Galaxie 406ci 4 speed) in 1968 and bought a VW beetle when I got my license back. Settled me right down.
@@ronkirk5099 Mine was a 73 Mach I w/351c.i. It was an automatic transmission but still hauled ass.
Mine was 60 Corvette with a 450 hp with solid lift cam, hooker headers straight pipes and drove it 60 miles ever day to work downtown Atlanta Ga! Gas at Pilot station 23.9¢ a gallon and oil came in a steel can. Cruising after church Sundays was sweet never any fights or stealing...just smiles and waves at the girls. Then I got married....ooops....
Yep me too!!LOL!! SURE WAS FUN!!!LOL!!!
My first car was a cherry 69 Coronet. It was awesome! Oh wait actually it was a Plymouth Horizon. Sorry my mistake.
This is a great cover! Kudos to the musicians!
I got to see them play this live in Redding CA many years ago, in a little country bar next to the freeway. I watched this song from a table that was maybe 20 feet from the small stage. The stage in this video looks four times the size of the stage in that little bar.
Because they're performing live in Austin Texas ( yes that's my HOME STATE) and the saying goes " Everything's BIGGER in Texas!
I was going to see them for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and then the virus hit. Been waiting for years (I'm 62), and was really bummed. Maybe next year? Man!
Grapevine Hill=I-5 LA to Bakersfield. My hometown. Sounds like something my daddy would do!
Is the Grapevine Hill north or south of Santa Clarita?
@@ChuckMartinGeniusBoy Santa Clarita, formerly Newhall, is several miles south of Grapevine Pass. My first home purchase in 1987 was in Castaic, at the southernmost point as you begin to climb the pass. Newhall is infamous for the 1970 CHP tradgedy, and Castaic Lake is famous for largemouth bass at 20lbs plus. More info than you asked for but I moved away from there 30 years ago and miss it.
@@2asupporter143 Thanks for the info. I have driven LA to Bakersfield so I guess I went up the hill. "Pulled out of San Pedro late one night when the moon and the stars were shining bring, driving up the Grapevine Hill, passing cars like they were standing still."
@@2asupporter143 Great rendition of the song. Is Cafe Mike still open in Castaic?
What a Dude! Partied with Ray & Johnny Paycheck after a concert in G.R. Mich. back in the early 80s. Fun as hell...i'll never forget it!
Guess you knew Murph. He was Paychecks steel player in the 70’s and his last gig he was with Ray and the gang down in Austin.
have this in my heart like the national anthym
Through all these years I have wondered what the cops were driving to allow them to be able to overtake the hot rod Lincoln.
A Motorola...Ya can't beat a radio....
Probably another..... Hot Rod Lincoln
SUV . Lol 😆
They only caught it because it started knockin'.
The last of the v8 interceptors with Max rockatanski at the wheel, guess where my algorithm took me recently
Hermoso
Nice remake with a little twist, sweet!
Mooi Music...
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO
*_Aaaaaaah....._* Thanks for this welcomed *_memory jolt_* from what is now purported to largely represent "Old Austin".... ala circa mid 1970s / 80s (including Stubbs' once incomparable trailer-rig BBQ)!!! 🤪
I assume that this clip is from the wonderful days of the "Austin City Limits" venue.....???? 👌
Yes, *Fine Times....* with after-show, late night bouts of long necks-n-queso at Chuy's. 😋
Aahh, country music that actually sounds like country. A lot of new 'country' music sounds like pop. Not necessarily bad, but country it aint. Mind you, I didn't care for country growing up. I was no country and all rock n' roll. Well, and classical too. But living in Austin taught me new things.
Classic
I love when she starts swinging her arm; very cute 😊❤️
