![Asleep At The Wheel - "The House Of Blue Lights" [Live from Austin, TX]](/img/1.gif)
I am 61 years old. I can’t stop smiling after watching that video. I still remember commander Cody had it on the album
The Commander and his lost planet Airmen. That song was also released as a single, probably his only one.
This is the GREATEST car song of ALL time! "Brakes are good, tires fair!"
Com'on all been there!
Hands down, this beats anything being played on today's "country music" radio by a Texas mile. Easily.
Now this what I call 70s music . Rap sucks
There's a reason why Waylon told Willie in a song, "I don't care who plays in Austin, Bob Wills is still the king."
These country and western songs that tell stories are the most foot tappin, head bobbing songs ever!!
That's what they for, Son!!
@@Shift2MoviesYou got that right!!
Yes, they are!! The best.
For me, this song Personifies "Country Rock". Great tune, fun lyrics. Can't be beat!!
It's amazing how one song can be so memorable to so many people 😊❤️
Actually, this is a cover of the song. It dates back much earlier. I'm nearly four-score years old and I heard it as a boy.
I also like Commander Cody's version, which Asleep at the Wheel did a spot -on cover of.Awesome tune.I was in high school when Cody's version was on the radio.
yeah the version Johnny Bond had not this creatures
Commander Cody’s version is way better
A radio station in St. louis played this song for about 8 hrs straight one day....And we never got tired of listening to it... and love it today..
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.
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.
❤
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!!
@@jongalleog3486😮😮n0
why ?
I'm with you brothers and sisters! Asleep at the Wheel and Ray Benson have never let me down. Smiles and toe tapping all night long!
I was always so excited when this song came on the radio. Great song!
I have always loved this song. This is a great cover! These guys are good!
I am sixty seven years old and still this song gets me going.
I never truly appreciated a steel guitar until I watched this. She's amazing!
Check out Barbara Mandrell on steel.
Check out Robert Randalf and the Family Band. That man can wail on the steel.....
One of the best concerts I've ever seen was Asleep At The Wheel and Commander Cody And The Lost Planet Airmen. (The Commander sang this song)
I had Commander Cody (John Tichy) teach Heat Transfer to me at RPI back in the '80s getting my Ph. D. in Mechanical Engineering!
This will never get old 😊❤️
Talented people sharing their gifts with us common folks. Kind of refreshing!
1971 at Holy City Ca, saw Sleep at the Wheel. Papa John Creech. Back when a 4 finger bag cost $10.
OMG you remember the 70's? lol
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 RUclips playing with various bands and musicians, showing her guitar collection, and talking about what it was like to grow up Cashdollar...
I remember the Commander doing it, too. You must be about 72 like me. 😂
Love this guy! Saw him in NJ back in '86. What a show. Thanks RUclips for keeping him alive.
The Best!!
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!
I have heard many versions of this song from many performers. This one is excellent; it's just so much FUN!!!!
Ray (and company) are simply awesome!!!! It doesn't get any better, and he and the Wheel band have been doin' it for decades now. God bless you, Ray, and Asleep at the Wheel!
I could hear this song over and over and still giggle!
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!
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"
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 .
I've loved this song since the original came out many decades ago. This was a GREAT cover. Ray was just superb and Cindy totally killed it!
Now that's good times music right there
As a 11 year old midwestern farm boy who would frenetically bounce off the walls every time this song was played I had no idea what or where the “Grapevine Hill” is or was. 20 years later when I was crossing Santa Clarita, heading for Bakersfield then Fresno for the first time - All I could think about was Commander C and the Hot…….Rod……..Lincoln.
Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen got famous singing this long--- their biggest hit and best verson of this song for sure! 👍🤚👳♂️🎯❗
Love the steel player...tune sounds killer..
Plus the smile and dimples!
I saw AATW last week. Still superb! Thanks Ray!
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 .
I recall Johnny Bond's 1960 version and if you can hear it, do so. You're in for a treat. The guitar just carries you along in the Lincoln coup that night. It's still my favorite version of all. True rockabilly at its finest.
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
YES !!!!$!!$ Love it , I REMEMBER !!!!! You go man , didn't know there were any of us left !!!
Best version ever and that girl is awesome 😎 Love this song from the first time I heard it back in the 70's 😊❤️😎
Best version that I will ever hear.It will never get old 😊❤️
God bless Texas
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.
Awesome song, never saw it performed live before!
The band I played in back in the late 70's use to play this and it was always a crowd favorite. Come to think of it, it was the bands fav too.
the second record i bought as a kid i wore it out and drove the family crazy i bought that record with pop bottle money 10 yrs old 1972
😃2019 THIS SONG STILL LIT🔥💖😄OH!
Cindy Cashdollar is a treasure.
Awesome performance all the way round
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.
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.
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 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 💕
Never stops being awesome 😎❤️
This was the song I sang in 2016 when I was semi comatose and recovering from brain anuerisms.
This song was the first 45 I ever bought for you youngsters that’s a record licorice pizza!!! I believe I bought “ride captain ride” by Blue Image at the same time? Oh and I’m Your Puppet by James &Bobby!! lol😂
Love this song it reminds me of my brother and my Dad I can him calling my brother hot rod Lincoln
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!
Ray is a musical genius! Cheers.
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.
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
Just love romantic songs like this. Cheers.
Wonderful V8 story , i love it , all people at the top . What a beautiful time! Music from the heart♥♥♥🥰🥰😍😍👍👍👍
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
....dayum....these guys played at ALOT of Intermedics functions.....priceless !!!
Good times, were had by all!
I love the Slide!
"F-in A" brother !!
Boogie Woogie 😎🤘
A great tribute to Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, the band that helped the "Wheel" takeoff. Enjoyed listening to both bands back in the early 70s, and yes I'm that old and here I am still listening in '24. Good road trip music through OK and TX on my way to Colorado.
Classic 😊❤️
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!
Lovin' that rendition of an old timer's tune! ... (from one old Lincoln driver).
That beautiful lady ♥️
I saw them once in Dallas in 2001 at the George Strait music festival. Great band and great song.
I come from a small rural Kansas town. Our grade school bus driver used to sing to us on local field trips, including this song.
I saw his concert back in the eighties in Fredericksburg tx
Wonderful!!
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 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".

Ray Benson, is his name? Massive talent & stage presence.
Yes, that is Ray Benson. He is a big dude as well!!
Fun song! First time I heard it was the Dr. Dimento show on KMET out of LA back in the early 80s... Good memories
Saw them last weekend in Sellersville Pa. Fantastic show!
Always a great song for many years !
The girl on the slide 😍
Isso é simplesmente fantástico
I was of that era. Great job.
DONE TO PERFECTION - BRAVO!!!!!!!!
Great song!
I've always liked Ray Benson!
Love that song 👍
Ray just keeps re inventing the band!
Never gets old.I lost track of how many times I've watched this video 😊❤️
Great tune, great band......peace
I love old country tunes 👍👍👍
1955 still Playin....
Good old Cindy on steel guitar! Love this.
Best rendition ever. It's like a Rockabilly Spike Jones Western Swing. Hoo-wee....
I drove mopars Dad never told me to stop driving them he told me to slow down it makes my heart stop when i see daylight under the car.
That was fun!
They are great!
Can't get enough 😊❤️
