Ray Benson has fronted the band for over three decades. It is a tall order
For a tall man (6ft. 7”) and through myriad personnel changes, he is still
doing a great job keeping Asleep At The Wheel awake with Western Swing.
They have turned out a string of excellent albums over the years, including
A Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys. The band’s
second tribute is a winner: Ride With Bob won multiple Grammys.
There is not a country western swing band anywhere that compares to
Ray Benson & Asleep at the Wheel. Merle Haggard had a great Bob Wills tribute album & George Strait recorded several hits from the Bob Wills well.

Bob Wills, godfather of Western Swing, would be mighty proud of Ray &
The Band. They continue to draw admiring crowds everywhere they perform that famous country western swing music. Ahhhh Haaaaa
