Asleep at the Wheel, Still the King, feature CD, 3/27

"Asleep at the Wheel has always worn its affinity for Bob Wills proudly, but never more so than on its new album. Still the King: Celebrating the Music of Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys  is the venerable Texas swing band’s third salute to the late great King of Western swing, following 1993?s Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys and 1999?s A Ride With Bob." - Rolling Stone

Western Swing is all things Texas, uniquely American, and loved the world-over. Ray Benson & Asleep At the Wheel, the genre's chief caretakers for over forty years, have reached not only their contemporaries, but the next generation of artists inspired by the Lone Star State's favorite son, Mr. Bob Wills. The joyful music in this collection gives you 22 compelling reasons why Bob Wills is 'Still The King'.

KSUT will play 'Still The King' in its entirety Friday, 3/27 at 12 noon.
