Editorial Reviews

Lucky Oceans co-founded (and named) Asleep At The Wheel almost 40 years ago. On this disc of classic western swing, his steel guitar is roundly supported by members of The Wheel and other notables including Ray Benson, Johnny Gimble, Chris O'Connell, Floyd Domino, Fran Christina and others. Recorded in 1980 shortly before Lucky left the Wheel and moved to Australia where he continues to explore the ever-changing horizons of the steel guitar and hosts a nation-wide radio program. The man can play!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Get Into A Real Toe-Tapping Groove With Lucky, March 6, 2008

This review is from: Lucky Steels The Wheel (Audio CD)

Long-time pedal steel virtuoso Lucky Oceans steps out of the background and into the spotlight. Lucky Steels The Wheel is a brilliant debut by Lucky and fellow Asleep At The Wheel band members. Along with guest artist Johnny Gimble, Lucky livens things up with some really tasty instumentals "Texas Playboy Rag", "Relaxin'" and the old Santo & Johnnie tune "Sleepwalk". The hot pickin' and overall vibe of these sessions is so dead-on it would even make the late-great Bob Wills blush. Yes, plop this baby onto your CD player at your next party. Turn the volume up and watch how it will undoubtably get the crowd into a real toe-tapping groove. Consider yourself "lucky" if you're holding this long out of print little gem. It's not easy to find, but certainly worth the effort.
