Asleep At The Wheel: Still The King - Celebrating The Music Of Bob Wills And His Texas Playboys (CD)

(Bismeaux Records) 22 tracks, 6-panel digisleeve with 20 page booklet

Der neunfache GRAMMY Award-Gewinner Ray Benson und Asleep at the Wheel ehren den legendären Bob Wills - einen der wenigen Künstler, die sowohl in die Country Music als auch in die Rock & Roll Hall of Fame aufgenommen wurden.

Seit mehr als 40 Jahren kümmern sich Ray Benson & Asleep at the Wheel um das Genre des Western Swing und transportieren die Tradition von Bob Wills ins 21. Jahrhundert. Dieses Album ist ihr drittes Tributalbum an Bob Wills. "Ride with Bob" aus dem Jahr 1998 und "A Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills" erzielten vier GRAMMY Awards und verkauften sich insgesamt über eine halbe Million Mal.

An den Aufnahmen zum neuen Album waren Künstler aus den unterschiedlichsten Genres beteiligt, darunter Willie Nelson, Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson , Merle Haggard, George Strait, The Avett Brothers, Amos Lee, Old Crow Medicine Show und Lyle Lovett.

Bob Wills (1905-1975) wurde oft als "The King of Western Swing" bezeichnet. Zusammen mit seinen Texas Playboys spielte er über fast sechs Jahrzehnte hinweg Tausende von Konzerten und verkaufte sich vor allem in den 30er und 40er Jahren außergewöhnlich gut. Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys waren die frühen Stars der amerikanischen Country-Musik und spielten als Tanzband gelegentlich auch Pop- und Jazz-Songs.

Asleep at the Wheel aus Austin, Texas, gewannen neun GRAMMY Awards, veröffentlichten mehr als 20 Studioalben und hatten über 20 Singles in den Billboard Country Charts. 1971 unterzeichneten sie ihren ersten Plattenvertrag, nachdem Van Morrison in einem Rolling Stone-Interview gesagt hatte, dass "Asleep At The Wheel großartige Country-Musik spielen"!

Asleep At The Wheel, eine 1970 in West Virginia gegründete Western Swing Band, die später nach San Francisco und schließlich 1974 nach Texas zog. Am Anfang noch ganz der Western Swing Tradition verpflichtet, begann die Gruppe später mit Elementen aus dem Jazz zu experimentieren, ohne jedoch den Swing ganz abschütteln zu können- dafür sorgte immer wieder als Gast der Ex-Texas-Playboy Johnny Gimble. Neben Commander Cody und seinen Lost Planet Airmen war Asleep At The Wheel Anfang der 70er Jahre maßgeblich an der Wiederbelebung des Western Swing beteiligt. Mit dem Ende der 70er Jahre war die Gruppe dann kaum noch im Gespräch. Erst 1986 erschien wieder eine neue L.P. von Asleep At The Wheel, die jedoch wenig Aufsehen erregte und die auch kaum an die Qualität der Einspielungen aus den 70er Jahren anknüpfen konnte. 1987 dann, zurückgekehrt zu Epic, brachte die Gruppe ihre Musik wieder auf den Punkt und hatte Erfolge.

Asleep At The Wheel

  Take Me Back To Tulsa

In these times when absolutely every note that Bob Wills, Milton Brown, and Cliff Bruner recorded is available on Bear Family and other labels, it's worth remembering that, in 1973, western swing was woefully hard to find on records. A few various artists' compilations and budget albums were about the extent of it. Bob Wills' then-current albums on Kapp were no incentive for anyone to go in search of his music; a bigger incentive came from Merle Haggard's 1970 album 'Tribute To The Best Damn Fiddle Player In The World.' The San Francisco western swing/honky tonk revival noted by a 'Billboard'correspondent in mid-1972 had already seen revivalist albums with a counter-culture twist released by Dan Hicks and Commander Cody. Just behind them came Asleep at the Wheel. On the east coast, they'd opened for Alice Cooper and other acts before the Commander told them to come west. "I demoed Asleep at the Wheel for Jerry Wexler at Atlantic," said group leader Ray Benson. "We sent it in and I got it back and he said, 'It's very nice but the lead guitar player needs work.' He was right. So I went to work." Then, in aninterview a couple of years later, Van Morrison said, "...there's some relatively unknown group around that I really dig. Asleep at the Wheel plays great country music." That was enough to send the record labels in search of the Wheel. Former Cricket Tommy Allsup landed the deal for United Artists.

Like many of Bob Wills' best and best-known songs, Take Me Back To Tulsa had been a fiddle tune, known as Take Me Back To Texas before Wills moved to KVOO Tulsa. He recorded it during several days of Dallas sessions in February 1941 that resulted in a plethora of transcendently great music. Of course, Ray Benson couldn't hope to match the droll, inebriate charm of Wills' vocalist, Tommy Duncan. Who could? Soon after the Wheel's first LP came out, Willie Nelson persuaded them to join the nascent Austin scene. "He heard this young band, a long-haired band, was playing Bob Wills' music," Ray Benson said later. "He was just very curious. That was in '73, and he was one of the guys who convinced me to move to Texas. We were living in California at the time. He put us on shows and introduced us around." Forty-two years and one hundred band members later, Asleep at the Wheel is still at it, and still based in Austin. Their 2009 album with Nelson, 'Willie And The Wheel,' reached #13 on the country album charts and won a Grammy.
