Biography

Since the early '70s, Asleep at the Wheel have been the most important force in keeping the sound of Western swing alive. In reviving the freewheeling, eclectic sensibility of Western swing godfather Bob Wills, the Wheel have earned enthusiastic critical praise throughout their lengthy career; they have not only preserved classic sounds that had all but disappeared from country music, but have… Read more in Amazon's Asleep At The Wheel Store

Editorial Reviews

The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel is the very first album to round up every single one of the legendary Western Swing band’s most requested songs after thirty-seven years of rolling on the road. It’s not ballad heavy, states the 6’7 bandleader and guitar slinger with a deep laugh. We’re a dance band. That’s what we’re about. And that’s plenty. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Re-Recorded Versions of Classic Wheel Tunes, November 12, 2008
This review is from: The Very Best Of Asleep At The Wheel (MP3 Download)
Recorded at the end of 2000, this album contains classic Wheel cuts re-recorded with the current lineup (at the time). The 14 tracks sound as good if not better than the original versions. Ray Benson and company really make the effort to make these songs as powerful as ever. A worthy pickup for any country or western swing fans out there.

This review is from: The Very Best Of Asleep At The Wheel (MP3 Download)
Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel Great starting point to get behind the 'Wheel' or to rediscovery what a great band they are. Excellent songs in the Texas swing tradition. Asleep at the Wheel should have a spot in every music fans collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Very Best of The Best, November 12, 2008
This review is from: Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel (Audio CD)
Ray Benson went through The Wheel catalog and picked out their most requested and beloved songs. All of these songs were re-recorded at the end of 2000 and beginning of 2001. These versions are just as good if not better than the original versions and Ray is the main vocal on every track. A most worthy pickup for any long-time fan or any newbies just discovering the Kings of Western Swing. Ahhaaaa!
