They've been doing this for 50 years and it still sounds as fresh and great as ever. I discovered them back in the '70s and have been a fan ever since. One of America's greatest bands. Long live Asleep At The Wheel!
This video was recorded back in 1992, although the DVD was not released until 2006. Some of Texas Playboys have passed on since then, but I can confirm that Asleep at the Wheel still sounds as great as ever!
A college buddy dragged me to the old Cabooze in Mpls to hear this band. It was the dead of winter, about -15f out and the band bus was late due to a raging snowstorm. When they finally got there and set up Ray was not in the best mood. Some drunk was throwing pennies at them and Ray threatened to kick his ass if he did it again. Then they blew the roof off the place. I treasure the memory.
Should have given Cindy a mike. She was singing along with the boys! Great steel sound from her for 8.5 years with the group. I've been riding with The Wheel for over 50 years. Great band!
Love her and I’m a Cashdollar too. Years ago they came to Colorado and Cindy called me up and got us tickets to their show. She said she always looked in the phone book for Cashdollar’s and that how she got my #. Love it!

"Western swing ain't dead. It's ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL."

Being in love with Western swing, I’ve been a fan of this band since the seventies.

Another Super Great RocknRoll Band, Asleep At The Wheel. Gotta Love Em.
western swing band, dearie. like bob wills.
This song does not originate in Texas swing. It is arguably an early proto rock n roll song by Freddie Slack
@@subg8858 ,Chuck Berry covered the song, too.
Aatw are the bomb 💣 God bless you Ray
That Texas map cymbal is very very cool
I have enjoyed this song since 1987.
Always Great! Cindy is one of the best steel players ever!

ça c'est de l'interpretation !!! très très bien.
Damn it has been years since I heard this song!
The guy I remember singing this had a real deep voice
It was Chuck Miller. His version is on TH-cam. The original was recorded in 1946 by Ella Mae Morse.
