You cant find a better man... they don't make them like this anymore but Ray and Doug Sahm...some of the best people God ever let ya meet...that is just a fact
We were at a Wheel show in Portland back in the 80’s. It was at the Starry Night. My friend Andy (who was the kind of guy that made friends with everybody when he walked in the room) got up right at the end of the show to use the toilet. He was wearing a hat just like Paul Bear Bryant used to wear. He was gone for a while and the band had finished their last song and was going to be coming out for their encore. Andy made it back to our seats and I asked him what happened to his hat (he’d had it for years) he said just wait. Next thing we know the band came back and the drummer was wearing the Bryant hat. We laughed all the way home. Some how he accidentally ended up in the green room with the band and made friends. Andy is gone now, but the memories will live forever.
In '76 I left California for a roughneck job in Oklahoma. There I heard The Wheel on the airwaves out of Texas. Brought their music back with me to California and did my small part in expanding their fan base. Thank you, Ray Benson, for the good times.
@kriscoe Well, it was a small fan base. The few people I knew, my friends, who in turn played it forward to people they knew. This was back in the stoned age, before social media, when we communicated by word of mouth.
My mother took me to see Lefty Frizzel and Marty Robbin’s in 1963, I was 12 years old and that concert changed me forever, the next day my dad bought me a Truetone Vanguard guitar and a little 5 watt amp which he upgraded for me in 1965 with a Fender Princeton reverb blackface amp, mom also would sneak me in the “Blue Bar” in Evansville Indiana to watch Boots Randolf and other lesser known musicians of the day. Those are some of the things that influenced my love of music. I now have 3 grandkids who are already better musicians than I ever was, so that makes me a winner!
Ray Benson!!!! What a musical history he has led! From Stevie Ray Vaughan to Merle Haggard, he’s been among many amazing musicians (including himself!)
Getting Ray Benson is a wonderful coup - what he's seen and done! Looking forward to even more stories from this veteran star. Enjoyed every moment of this interview.
I’ve seen Ray and Asleep at the Wheel 9 times, second only to my seeing Merle Haggard 14 times. Ray is a good guy and has always been friendly to fans every time I met him. I met Merle several times and he was always nice to me, but quiet. I met Willie Nelson once, and what impressed me most about meeting Willie was that he would look you in the eye and really listen to you when you spoke to him. Thank you for bringing these conversations to us, Otis! You sir are a class act.
Thanks for the great interview! Maybe 20 years ago I had the opportunity to talk to Ray and Cindy Cashdollar for about 45 minutes before a show. What a gracious, unassuming, knowledgeable guy he was! Cindy was fun to talk to also.
Maybe 10 years ago , I saw Asleep At The Wheel in at Don The Beachcomber in Huntington Beach, California. Small 300 person room with dining tables. Full on Tiki Bar with that faded look. He came on stage, cowboy hat nearly touching the low ceiling, and took a little poke at a carved coconut-monkeyface hanging from the ceiling in front of him. He looked out and said “ I spent my whole life trying to get out of places like this. Then proceeded to play 2 and a half hours of kick ass party/dance/ listening music I’ve ever heard. Wish I remembered the older man who played steel guitar and saxophone. Just phenomenal.
I worked at Liberty Hall in Houdton the first time Asleep At the Wheel came to Texas. They opened for Commander Cody. The usual gang of hippies in the audience were joined by a bunch of Western Swing fans who cane to dance. A bunch of those hippies remembered how to dance. Soon Ray moved his band to Texas.... Merle's tribute records were a great gift to the younger folks....
Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, one of their albums is in my record cabinet (which was one of the first two pieces of furniture my mom bought, in the early 1940's). Thanks for the, in addition to Ray Benson, listening to his stories and songs. The stuff that helps make life worth while.
My sentiments exactly. But the record industry exec's I have had the misfortune to be around..... really don't seem to know much about music. Only the ring of the cash register. That is their symphony. Peace.
Asleep At The Wheel...such a great band! Ray Benson is a great band leader, singer, musician and ambassador of Texas Swing. I play a pitiful version of Route 66 that sounds like AATW's version in my head! I would have paid to see Haggard kick that guy's @$$ with one hand tied behind his back.
Great interview Otis! Thank you. I lived in Austin in 80-81 and Ray came into the shop I worked in to get that Saddle Ring sized. I got his size, and he said something about JJ Walker. I had seen JJ in Lubbock a few months before and he was pretty tooted ,I ask him how JJ was doing and he said”when you’re on your back, everything is up” Ah Good Times”
Damn. You are a great interviewer. I musta seen Asleep 20 times in Austin and never knew all this stuff. Your work is a real education. Thank you so very much. I'm buying a t-shirt.
In 1979 i was playing pedal steel for a Grass Valley band named Cousin Cricket(it is still going!!!!). somehow they had convinced Asleep at the Wheel to star in a show in down town Nevada City. Since cash was kind of short I remember they paid the Wheel with a pound of sinsemilla. So we opened and then Ray and the band came on. I was in seventh heaven cause they had Bobby Black on steel. So the Wheel was doin a really slow C-6th blues and Bobby looked asleep. I sideled up to the bandstand and said, Bobby why dont you just tear into the Emmons night Life intro and use it as part of your break..... immediately the whole band cracked up and Bobby finished his solo to group applause...
Small world. In 79 I was a teenager living in Grass Valley down the road from the fairgrounds. A couple of years later I got my first pedal steel which was a used Shobud E9/C6 double neck. Several people told me it used to belong to Bobby Black. That steel took me all over Texas and beyond and I had it for some 30 years. BTW, the hardest part of playing steel is putting the thing in your car, setting up, breaking down and taking it back home....all before 4 in the morning. Yeah...good times!
Early '70's. Midnight show at the run-down Fox Theater in what was then, run-down and near deserted downtown San Jose. I went out the next day and bought their only album - Asleep At The Wheel Comin' At You.
I've heard of asleep at the wheel, I guess I'm going to have to give them a good listen, now. This Ray Benson, tells it how it is. Got to admire his viewpoint, especially about the raw stuff!
I met Ray Benson outside a restaurant in Austin in the late 90s. My dad is a big Asleep at the Wheel fan and he told Ray that he thought they should cover “Cherokee Maiden.” Ray said, “yeah, that might be good..” The rest is history. Sounds unbelievable, but I witnessed it happen.
Love this interview. I only wish it was longer. Ray Benson has rubbed shoulders with some pretty heavy duty country music icons. Thanks for the top shelf post, Otis!!
Another great one, Otis! Love this for the obvious reasons, but it has personal resonance for me. So great to hear Ray name check Tiny Moore, the pride of my hometown, Sacramento, California and to hear him mention Bob Wills' Sacramento band. I was inducted into the Sacramento chapter of the Western Swing Hall Of Fame last year. And the great Floyd Domino grew up down the road in the bay are town of El Cerrito.
Rays great, and Asleep At The Wheel is a great, great band. One of the few I've seen more than once, the first being at a bar in Tempe AZ (name long since forgotten due to gin & tonics and great swing music) in 1975 or so. Good stuff, glad Ray is still out there. Their pedal steel player from the 70's, Cindy Cashdollar, lives in the area and plays from time to time at Levon Helm studios in Woodstock, NY.
This is a pretty great performance by Merle. Porter knows he's in the presence of greatness and he's more than happy to admit it. Merle could effortlessly throw down with the best of 'em. ruclips.net/video/qs1eWq3H4Ho/видео.html
This is really GREAT. Benson is an Archive! A performing Archive! And look at how young his hands look! I mean he's got a long white beard for Christ's Sake and look at how young his hands are.....!
Great and informative interview, I got to finally meet Ray in Berkeley this recent Spring, Asleep at the Wheel we're opening for,Willie and Ray sat in for whole Nelson set.
Invaded his privacy at the San Antonio airport some years back. What a great, humble human being. Don't know how he plays guitar with those huge mitts of his though.
Great interview I love at the wheel love Texas Spring, but you forgot to mention that Ray Price did a tribute to Bob Wills. I think about 1962 grade album. I saw asleep at the wheel in Buffalo a few years back incredible.
Ink And Iron Festival here in Nashville was the last time I saw Haggard. They added a second Hag show and it was billed as Songs and Stories with Merle Haggard.. the crowd was dismal due to the complicated ticketing system they had. Well, I wasn’t gonna miss Songs and Stories so I went and realized off the bat the Merle was just gonna do his regular show.. he had a few openers, then he did 60 minutes on the nose. There might have been 50 people there.. the next night Hag cancelled due to their inability to pay him. It was an amazing lineup.. a bunch living Sun Records artists, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings.. but the entire debacle put the festival out of business and into bankruptcy.
I always thought Ray Benson was one of the cool guys in music. A good guy. This interview shows that. I saw Ray and his band open for Waylon around 78-79. Saw him after the show at Happy Joe’s Pizza Parlor. 😀. Thanks Otis!
I've loved the Wheel since I first heard choo choo chboogie. I don't understand the diss on garth brooks. It's a big world of music out there, plenty room for everybody.
Q. re date of this video: I'm seeing this for first time, on 9/28/2024. The video info above, which I take to mean when the video was originally posted, says "3 days ago". Just wondering is that correct, that the video was posted on9/25/2024? Also wondering what the date of the interview was. Maybe I missed it somewhere. Anyway, thank you for the video/ interview. I love both Merle Haggard and Ray Benson and their music. My wife told stories about seeing Asleep at the Wheel playing in Gallagher Arena at Oklahoma State University in the early 1970's. I've been a fan of theirs for about 45 years. Thanks.

I loved Garth's first record because it was country, and then he started squeezing water bottles and flying around on a wire,and looking all psycho with his expressions,oh and not being all that country, then I lost interest. It also happened with Tim Mcgraw,Keith Urban, Clint Black, and Kenny Chesney when they all changed their sounds and got way too far from country for me.
I’m a songwriter based just outside Nashville, in Murfreesboro, and I have a few songs that I think you might really like. I’d love for you to take a chance and give them a read-you never know what might resonate!

We were at a Wheel show in Portland back in the 80’s. It was at the Starry Night. My friend Andy (who was the kind of guy that made friends with everybody when he walked in the room) got up right at the end of the show to use the toilet. He was wearing a hat just like Paul Bear Bryant used to wear. He was gone for a while and the band had finished their last song and was going to be coming out for their encore. Andy made it back to our seats and I asked him what happened to his hat (he’d had it for years) he said just wait. Next thing we know the band came back and the drummer was wearing the Bryant hat. We laughed all the way home. Some how he accidentally ended up in the green room with the band and made friends. Andy is gone now, but the memories will live forever.
@@tednottodd Great one. Nothing like good memories.
In '76 I left California for a roughneck job in Oklahoma. There I heard The Wheel on the airwaves out of Texas. Brought their music back with me to California and did my small part in expanding their fan base. Thank you, Ray Benson, for the good times.
How did you expand their fan base, that is interesting.

@@carlosford1226 I see, thanks.
My mother took me to see Lefty Frizzel and Marty Robbin’s in 1963, I was 12 years old and that concert changed me forever, the next day my dad bought me a Truetone Vanguard guitar and a little 5 watt amp which he upgraded for me in 1965 with a Fender Princeton reverb blackface amp, mom also would sneak me in the “Blue Bar” in Evansville Indiana to watch Boots Randolf and other lesser known musicians of the day. Those are some of the things that influenced my love of music. I now have 3 grandkids who are already better musicians than I ever was, so that makes me a winner!

Legend Ray Benson... Fantastic!!!
I'm so glad I was turned on to Ray early and that he made it through the hard times. Good job Otis.
Maybe 10 years ago , I saw Asleep At The Wheel in at Don The Beachcomber in Huntington Beach, California. Small 300 person room with dining tables. Full on Tiki Bar with that faded look. He came on stage, cowboy hat nearly touching the low ceiling, and took a little poke at a carved coconut-monkeyface hanging from the ceiling in front of him.

Jim Murphy played steel and saxophone, had a brother named Wally Murphy that also played steel with Asleep at the wheel
@@tommyreid2317every time I saw AATW it was Lucky Oceans on pedal steel!
Asleep at the Wheel first Live Album.. sublime. Turned me on to Western Swing Didn’t know what it was, but I dug it and still do!
Awesome interview Otis! Please have Ray Benson on again if possible. You are always keeping it Real, Thank you!
Thanks Otis for sharing this talk with the one and only Ray Benson! What a treat!

What a storyteller!!
Another great score Otis!!!
Damn. You are a great interviewer. I musta seen Asleep 20 times in Austin and never knew all this stuff. Your work is a real education. Thank you so very much. I'm buying a t-shirt.
Thank ya kindly, David! ❤
Ray Benson on Merle Haggard "He was the voice of a gen...well not that, but the voice of something," That was awesome. 2:03

I am not a huge country fan, but Merle Haggard is one of the greatest song writers of all time.
Ray gave me my first Harley ride circa ATX 1970''s out by the Austin Lake marina Road~ Peace
Hell yes! ❤
i have Asleep at the Wheel original LP's in mint condition,
highly prized ,,
and very much loved music !
great interview ,,, Far Too Short !!

Thank you for sharing
Love RB! Thanks, Mr. O!
This is really GREAT. Benson is an Archive! A performing Archive! And look at how young his hands look! I mean he's got a long white beard for Christ's Sake and look at how young his hands are.....!
Gotta watch a couple of asleep at the wheel videos now...great interview thanks Otis
A real treat AND chalked up another great Hag story!
Merle Haggard was always a jazz guy in my eyes.
Great and informative interview, I got to finally meet Ray in Berkeley this recent Spring, Asleep at the Wheel we're opening for,Willie and Ray sat in for whole Nelson set.
love it otis. good for you!
Invaded his privacy at the San Antonio airport some years back. What a great, humble human being. Don't know how he plays guitar with those huge mitts of his though.
Thank you thank you 😊
Ray was mentioning the Dallas scene. As a kid growing up in the 80's around there. My first concert was Mason Dixon.
Can't mention Fiddlers without mentioning the best Texas fiddler everyone never heard of. Alvin Crow.
Thanks to Ray & Otis
OMG !!! I looooove AATW !!!
Ray's a legend.
Some great stories.
Fire \m/\m/ Fire! Fantastic interview, sir.
Great interview I love at the wheel love Texas Spring, but you forgot to mention that Ray Price did a tribute to Bob Wills. I think about 1962 grade album. I saw asleep at the wheel in Buffalo a few years back incredible.
I love these videos. I love Ray's black shirt with the black diamond pearl snaps. Wonder where he got it.
Ray, i believe, is from just outside of Philly, near Chestnut Hill.
AATW was a friend of ours very favorite band.
I was at the Last of the Breed Show in Radio City Music Hall in 2006. Was phenomenal! 🎸🎙🖤🔥
10:45 the studio Ray is referencing is the Jim Beck studio
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee...another great interview!
I was working ACL a few years back and set up for AATW. Got a "dap" from Ray on his way past me after the set. Good times!
I'd know that voice anywhere.
Straight out of Philadelphia where Ray was born
This is great. Long live The Wheel
Too good for words!
Old Meryl was a party animal right along as a good song writer he will be missed greatly 😅

I remember that festival happening and Merle cancelling, but I'm thinking I was on the road? That's my excuse at least. : )
Luv me some Hag !
I always thought Ray Benson was one of the cool guys in music. A good guy. This interview shows that. I saw Ray and his band open for Waylon around 78-79. Saw him after the show at Happy Joe’s Pizza Parlor. 😀. Thanks Otis!
Merle haggard was a poet of the common man🇺🇸
Thank You So much 😉
Thanks Otis. IMO, Ray could've made a fine living off of audio narration/acting alone. He has a very interesting, comforting and strong voice.
I've loved the Wheel since I first heard choo choo chboogie. I don't understand the diss on garth brooks. It's a big world of music out there, plenty room for everybody.

Without Merle Haggard i wouldn't have discovered Jimmie Rodgers music
whatever Hag lets go
good way to live life
sure thing otis lets do it
♥️🌎🙏🙏🙏
I couldn't figure out which one was Ray..
My Grandfathers name was Ray Benson.
one joint and they all got stoned out of their minds? how big was it? how strong was it?
One joint,every thirty minutes.
no one mentioned that.
It was laced with angel dust🎉
What was he saying, the O Canes?
Who is Bob?

I loved Garth's first record because it was country, and then he started squeezing water bottles and flying around on a wire,and looking all psycho with his expressions,oh and not being all that country, then I lost interest. It also happened with Tim Mcgraw,Keith Urban, Clint Black, and Kenny Chesney when they all changed their sounds and got way too far from country for me.

He completely left out Randy Travis contribution to rescuing country music in the mid to late 80s.
