They were a huge part of the austin music scence back then. They had some great musicians over the years and Ray Bensons antics were always very entertaining. Ray also became a quite a good guitarist. I have been an asleep at the wheel fan since first seeing them in the late 70’s. They were a huge part of the austin music scence back then.

My favorite music weekend event each year is the last weekend in April at the Santa Clarita Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival. The music artist line-up usually contains the Hot Club (or Whit Smith's side project "The String Devils") and other western swing artists like The Quebe Sisters, CowBop, and Ginny Mac. Although I enjoy the cowboy music artists, its actually the western swing bands that are my primary interest at the festival. Its the only time each year that the Los Angeles area gets invaded by top western swing artists from Texas! Yee Haw! (lol) PS - I also like artists that combine western swing with traditional country, and that seems to be a Texas specialty. Miss Leslie (Sloan) and Her Juke Jointers do a fine job and her recent release "Between The Whiskey and the Wine" contains some killer cuts. I wish Amber Digby and her "Heart Of Texas" label mate Kimberly Murray would lean a little more in the direction of western swing, but you can't have everything....

It's awesome that Benson has been able to keep it alive. I love both of the Bob Wills tribute albums. My favorite Asleep At The Wheel song is "Christmas In Jail" though.:) I'm excited about the collaboration with Willie. Great article. I really like Western swing.
