-Descripcion Original:

A quarter century ago, the members of Asleep at the Wheel were young Western swing enthusiasts trying their best to imitate such heroes as Bob Wills and Milton Brown. Now Ray Benson and his dozens of bandmates--past and present--are the seasoned heroes of the genre, and a new generation of young Western swing fans look to Asleep at the Wheel for clues. Two of those youngsters, Nashville stars Tracy Byrd and Wade Hayes, pay their respects in the form of guest vocals on the new Asleep at the Wheel album, Back to the Future Now. This live album isnt the best record the group has ever made, but it may be the best single-disc introduction. Not only do Byrd and Hayes provide a way into the music for younger fans, but most of the bands best-known songs plus three Wills tunes are reprised. More importantly, several key members of Asleep at the Wheels legendary 1975-78 lineup return to the fold for a one-night, school-of-swing reunion. Vocalists LeRoy Preston and Chris OConnell once again sing their signature numbers, My Baby Thinks Shes a Train and The Letter That Johnny Walker Read respectively. Founding steel guitarist Lucky Oceans trades slippery licks with current steel guitarist Cindy Cashdollar on WillsS Fat Boy Rag, and pianist Floyd Domino comes back to rattle the ivories on Moon Mullicans Cherokee Boogie. Tony Garnier (heard more recently with Bob Dylan) slaps out a walking bass line on WillsS Roly Poly. Even if you arent familiar with the bands long, convoluted history, Benson introduces most of the songs with half-comic, half-affectionate stories that fill in the details. --Geoffrey Himes This 6x Grammy-winning band is a true American original, preserving the heritage of great Western swing for the better part of 3 decades. The tradition carries on, this time with a live album featuring an all-star cast including original members Ray Benson, Lucky Oceans and LeRoy Preston. This reunion album (the debut release for the new Lucky Dog label) will attract a diverse audience from country fans to college markets to the martini circuit hip to their retro country sound. The band will tour extensively in support of the project. This product is an authorized manufactured on demand CD-R
