ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
Ride With Bob
PRODUCER: Ray Benson
DreamWorks Nashville 5182
Thirty years into the group's existence, only co-founder Ray Benson remains

with durable Western swing group Asleep At The Wheel, but he's literally been the backbone of the group since its inception. This Western swing tribute to the late Bob Wills is a spirited and knowledgeable stroll through Wills-era songs, aided by a star-studded cast. The album launches with Vince Gill and Steve Wariner trading guitar licks on the instrumental "Bob's Breakdowns" and goes into "New San Antonio Rose," Dwight Yoakam's take on a classic. Don Walser warbles through a yodeling version of "I Ain't Got Nobody." The 17 cuts here also feature Dixie Chicks' "Roly Poly," Lee Ann Womack's sultry "Heart To Heart Talk," and Squirrel Nut Zippers' animated "Maiden's Prayer." Surprises include Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin's convincing duet on "Faded Love," Merle Haggard's brassy "St. Louis Blues," Tim McGraw's journey into "Milk Cow Blues," Mark Chesnutt's "Stay All Night," and Manhattan Transfer joining forces with Willie Nelson on "Going Away Party."
