Asleep at the Wheel have been going for years and years, since the 70s to be exact. They are based in Austin, Texas and have won a staggering nine Grammy Awards. This musical bunch have had chart success over the years with their success being a force to be reckoned with and another thing – they can do it live ever so well.
Their sound is essentially country with all the right instrumentation to make this world complete with the glossy finish of a pedal steel, a violin played as a fiddle and a Hammond organ sound that provides such a good sheen over their sound. They are all about telling stories in their songs introducing characters and telling stories through their songs and of course their patter between songs is so endearing to listen to. “The Letter” is such a fantastic song to hear live, with the contrapuntal melodies filling the room and hearing this chorus sing it right back to this band who give their performance so much energy and effort.
