Thank God for Ray Benson keeping western swing alive. I've had the the pleasure of meeting him at several different gigs and I will tell you he is a total class act. Thanks for all you have done ray.
I first experienced asleep about 1980, at the Bayou in Georgetown. The intro talked about Austin Texas on a saturday night and you realize you are ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL. It was the first I heard the last supper...xox
Fantastic! Ray Benson's Asleep at The Wheel with four of the original Bob Wills Band members steel guitarist Leon McAuliffe, Johnny Gimble on the mandolin, Eldon Shamblin sitting down on guitar, and Leon Rausch singing lead vocals with Ray Benson!
You need to check out the old Bob Wills videos when he had a full orchestra, and he was laying down musical tracks on all the ol 50's western cereal movies in Hollywood before it became hollyweired.
Does it look like Johnny Gimble stepped on the fiddle players solo in the beginning after the piano solo ? Like the order was suppose to be piano fiddle then mandolin..

Pure class
Asleep at the Wheel was one of those bands that could play any kind of music.

And if you don't think that Western Swing is half jazz, check out the tritone substitution at 1:26....
