The best Texas Swing band today, hands down. Ray Benson is supurb. However the quality of their shows varies. What might seem to be the best band in Texas when playing in San Antone might be marginal at best when playing in Wichita Kansas.

An absolute foot-wigglin', knee-hoppin', finger-tappin', head-bobbin' treat! Bob's music was(is) a great thing, and Asleep At The Wheel and guests make it shine!!

These guys have done it again! This could be the best AATW album yet. Now this is REAL TEXAS MUSIC boys and girls! Masters of thier craft, they'll have me swinging every mile I drive! This is a must for all swing cats, Bob Wills fans, and supporters of TEXAS music! Thanks AATW for keeping the flame burning! JS

Did I miss something? Are we taking AATW for granted these days? Ray Benson might have been born a Yankee, but he's as Texan as they get now. And he's owed a big debt of gratitude by music lovers for revitalizing and keeping alive Western Swing. Whoever the guy is that wrote the biography contained on this site says their Bob Wills tribute albums got mixed results. Yeah, the mix was songs that were good, better, and great. I'm not a big fan of some of the artists who guested on the cds, but I think everybody put all their heart into honoring Bob Will and the Texas Playboys. Ray Benson has been the only constant in AATW, but as long as he continues on they'll always be a great band. C'mon folks, Texas music doesn't have to be just honky tonk and beer drinkin' music. Bob Wills created Western Swing, but it's AATW that keeps it alive and kickin' now. It's still great stuff!!! Thanks, Ray Benson.
