Additional Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys Information

Ray Benson's Asleep At The Wheel deserve admiration for keeping alive the sounds of western swing, but with a rhythm section that's usually straight-up-and-down stiff, The Wheel's recordings mainly just leave you craving their inspirations. The 18-song Tribute overcomes this problem by loading up on singers who do their best to swing even when the band doesn't. George Strait, doing "Big Balls In Cowtown," is a natural, of course, as are the offerings from Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett and Dolly Parton. Even Garth Brooks' go at "Deep Water," who mimics Strait to perfection here, is a pleasant surprise. --David Cantwell

 

What Customers Say About Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys:

I was already familiar with it so it was nothing new to me. this product wae as advertised.

(I also collect and webcast 'swing' - if you have to pat your foot to it, it swings. Check out the samples here at Amazon for yourself. So, ignore that remark.

Fabulous, rich vocals. Delightful. It's the greatest country album I've ever heard.

Thank you, Ray Benson.btw: First review here I read said something about the "rhythm section bein' a bit stiff." I've owned the CD for 8 years, and I've never heard anything remotely 'stiff' (nor has anyone else who has heard my copy). And this is a foot-tappin' CD). Nifty pickin'.

Light banter.

Their stature doesn't overwhelm the music. Most tribute albums disappoint, but not this tribute to Bob Wills that was assembled by Ray Benson, leader of the western swing band Asleep at the Wheel. Many of of the album's guest artists are country greats, such as Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks and the late Chet Atkins.

Although this is an older recording , it re-invents this Texas style music I really like and gets me back on track to start playing the good old tunes again on my fiddle. Asleep At The Wheel have done a great job on the Bob Wills tribute CD.

Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys country/country swing. This is a great CD. The selections are awesome.
