Asleep At The Wheel "Live From Austin Texas" DVDSince its infectious 1974 debut, the country band Asleep at the Wheel has remained steadfast in its devotion to the music of
Bob Wills and other western-swing greats of the past. Renowned as a killer live act, Asleep at the Wheel is captured live in this 1992 appearance on PBS's Austin City Limits, which has been expanded from it's televised half-hour episode to include all 90 minutes of the band's performance, including signature songs like "Miles and Miles of Texas," "Corine Corina," and "Blues for Dixie." Plus my personal favorite "Hot Rod Lincoln." (Mike)
