Manufacturer Description
Performing 19 Wills favorites like Corine, Corina and Ida Red are-hold on to your ten-gallon-Chet Atkins, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and George Strait just to name a few!
Ray Benson's Asleep At The Wheel deserve admiration for keeping alive the sounds of western swing, but with a rhythm section that's usually straight-up-and-down stiff, The Wheel's recordings mainly just leave you craving their inspirations. The 18-song Tribute overcomes this problem by loading up on singers who do their best to swing even when the band doesn't. George Strait, doing "Big Balls In Cowtown," is a natural, of course, as are the offerings from Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett and Dolly Parton. Even Garth Brooks' go at "Deep Water," who mimics Strait to perfection here, is a pleasant surprise. --David Cantwell
