Asleep At The Wheel - Pine Grove Blues

Review by Sarah Anne

Asleep at the Wheel's album "Pine Grove Blues" is a rollicking good time from start to finish. The Texas-based Western swing band has been around for over four decades, and they've clearly honed their craft in that time. The album is filled with lively, toe-tapping tunes that showcase the band's virtuosity and energy.

The album kicks off with the title track, a rollicking instrumental that immediately sets the tone for what's to come. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through classic Western swing, blues, and even a bit of Cajun music. Standout tracks include "Boogie Back to Texas," a lively number that features some impressive fiddle work, and "I'm an Old Cowhand," a Western swing classic that the band makes their own.

Throughout the album, Asleep at the Wheel's musicianship is on full display. The band's founder and lead vocalist, Ray Benson, has a rich, deep voice that's perfectly suited to the genre. Meanwhile, the rest of the band members all shine in their respective roles, whether it's Eddie Rivers' honky-tonk saxophone or David Sanger's steady drumming.
