Over the course of the last 36 years Ray Benson and Asleep at the Wheel
have boldly defied the fickle lures of the mainstream -- and thrived --
by sticking to their noble cause of keeping that distinctly American of
art forms, western swing, alive and kicking. Along the way, these
post-modern kings of western swing have received nine Grammy Awards,
entertained thousands and won praise and admiration from everyone from
Willie Nelson to Bob Dylan, George Strait to Van Morrison.

Asleep at the Wheel is not just your typical dance band, they're an institution:
an ever shifting lineup (over 80 members to date) of like-minded musicians
united under Benson's crusade to carry the torch of big band Western Swing
music into the 21st Century. If you want to hear what Texas sounds like,
all you need to do is pop in an Asleep at the Wheel CD.
