I'm so glad to hear, that Ray Benson is doing much better, after he tested positive for the Corona Virus! He's a true treasure--love him and Asleep At the Wheel!😊⛪
Ray Benson is probably my all-time favorite transplanted Texan. God bless him and Asleep At the Wheel for keeping Western Swing alive and kicking butt!
I love this song, this group, and getting to see all of these country stars in one video!! Too bad Merle Haggard isn't with us anymore--but. it's great seeing him here😊
How is it Country goes from this to the pop crossover all sound the same Nashville hacks like Florida Georgia Line and LoCash in 20 years? NONE of today’s new Nashville (it ain’t country anymore) artists even know who Bob Wills is let alone know/appreciate his music.
I have the album. Kelso Herston was there and he was the last musician to see Bob Wills while he was still lucid. Recording session took place in the great state of Texas.
What a dream to be just sitting in the corner of the studio that these musical geniuses used that day to create this art! But this 3:36 is a good second best substitute. A very special day of musical camaraderie that we get to enjoy for years to come.
Wonder why Clint Black isn't in this video. He sang on the album. I saw Tim McGraw, Mark Chesnutt, Willie Nelson, Reba, Tracy Byrd, Dwight Yoakam, Lee Ann Womack, Clay Walker, Steve Wariner, Vince Gill, the Dixie Chicks, Lyle Lovett and Merle Haggard.
I have listened to this band on numerous occasions and once met the original pedal steel guitar player but had never seen any other band members. I had to go check the cast of the Fifth Element to find out who played general Munro to find out it was Brion Howard James and not Ray Benson lol
Love this song and love this music! Would like to hear it without all the different "Ah haas"s in it. Anybody knows of a link to ASATW doing a studio of this song with the music only?
Ok, so l recognized Willie and Merle, Reba, Vince Gill, Dwight Yoakam, the Dixie Chicks, and Lyle Lovett. Did l miss anybody? I thought l saw Tim McGraw, but l couldn't imagine him being there. He wouldn't know a good country tune if it bit him on the ass.
@lonerboy24 I can imagine McGraw putting his two cents in on the song. "EEEEEEWWWW!! This just doesn't sound top 40 enough. This will never ever sell 10 million copies like my mainstream booty-shaking country music!! OOOOOHHHHHHH!!" Then hopefully Haggard gave him the ass-whipping he so righteously deserved.
