Asleep at the Wheel w/ Leon Rausch

[rick]

Hi --

Not sure if other people here enjoy Texas swing music. I lived in Texas during the mid-80s and that's when I became familiar with Asleep at the Wheel.
Just now received a one-day offer from PopMarket for a four-CD bundle of Asleep at the Wheel CDs, including one with Leon Rausch.
Here is a nice video from those recording sessions --

They have managed to survive for 40+ years as probably the premiere Western swing revival band with a solid cult following, and being able to sell albums to a wide swath of Texas country and rock and roll audiences. Ironically, they've only ever had one song of theirs reach the Top 10 on the C&W charts: "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read", in late 1976.

I enjoyed their music greatly in the 1970's and 80's.
