Music reviews of Comin Right at Ya / Texas Gold
Music Review: WESTERN SWING THAT WOULD MAKE BOB WILLS PROUD
Rating: 5 Stars
The first time I heard this band was in the mid 70's when I went to visit my friend David out in San Francisco. He introduced me to Asleep At The Wheel's first album "Comin' Right At Ya". When that great Bob Wills song "TAKE ME BACK TO TULSA" started playing, this kid from Oklahoma was hooked! This was a great album of western swing that, up to that point, these ears had never heard. Asleep At The Wheel, who were originally from Austin, moved to San Francisco, and under the influence of Commander Cody, worked the clubs there and eventually became these great pioneering rockabilly/western swing revivalists. The Wheel were a talented band of great musicians. They had what were probably the two best fiddle players around in the legendary Johnny Gimble and the multi-talented Andy Stein from the Commander Cody Band, who claimed he could play virtually any stringed instrument you put in front of him. As for the music on their first record; besides "TAKE ME BACK TO TULSA", two other tracks that really stand out on here are CHEROKEE BOOGIE, which features some great piano playing by Floyd Domino, and my favorite alltime Wheel song I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE. You just gotta hear this one. It starts out ultra-slow and eventually turns into western swing on speed. It's great, and it's one I guarantee you'll be wanting to learn the words to. You'll be singin' it for days, or in my case years. As for the second album on this CD called "Texas Gold". I believe this is their third record. It's not as good as their first two albums, but it's still a pretty good effort. The standout tracks on this one are "THE LETTER THAT JOHNNY WALKER READ, which was cowritten by Commander Cody. "ROLL EM FLOYD, which again features some great piano playing by Floyd Domino. Another song which I think is the best on the album is "RUNNIN' AFTER FOOLS", which was written and sung by Leroy Preston, who besides this one, penned most of the songs on these two albums. This is a really nice twofer by the Wheel. Asleep At The Wheel's CD catalogue is not complete however, until Epic Records rereleases their self-titled second album, which has been mysteriously deleted. This was the Wheel's best record. Asleep At The Wheel has gone through many band member changes over the last 30 years, but they were never better than this outfit of renegade western swingers. I've seen these guys "live", and I guarantee ya they can get your feet movin' on the old hardwood floor. Highly recommended listenin'!
