Asleep at the Wheel, It's all your Fault!

I offer this jaunty ditty with no further comment....

Title reminded me of this banger (no pun intended):

Here’s another top track with a great Trujillo bass line. 
Asleep at the wheel indeed 😄

I know “it’s all you fault” from Hot Club of Cowtown, who also hail from Austin!

Nice! I think I know it from this old Timejumpers video. Always good to hear the late great John Hughey, this time on the C6 neck...

Great to see a Western Swing thread!  My wife & I had a band doing this style 10+ years ago - The Red Jumps. This has brought back some happy memories. 
 

AATW rarely play the UK but are favorites of Mrs PTB. I managed to get front row seats at Nells in West London on our 30th wedding anniversary!

Love AATW and western swing! I saw them twice in Dallas years ago. Wish there was a way to perform this amazing music here..,

I have to admit starting the thread was on a subversive whim ( read the title) given I had a quasi- political thread locked a few days before! However glad to bring a different kind of music to the attention of others.😉

Do Ocado drivers sleep at the wheel?😁

Tell me about it. I love Western Swing, too. Fiddle used to be my main instrument. I was fortunate enough to get the call to play for Herb Remington when he visited the UK many years ago - did a few dates and a Radio 2 session. I was a little nervous, to put it mildly. His fiddler back home at the time was Johnny Gimble.

 

I tried on several occasions to get a Western Swing band going here. The problem is that you need serious chops to do it right and those who have them aren't interested - Western Swing seems to be viewed here as being hokey and a bit naff. Which it most certainly isn't.
