Our Take

Asleep at the Wheel's latest offering, "Half a Hundred Years," is a rollicking romp through five decades of Western swing. Littered with steel guitars and fiddles aplenty, this album is a toe-tapping tribute to the roots of American country music. Frontman Ray Benson's distinctive twang leads the charge, backed by a talented band of musicians who clearly know their way around a honky-tonk. From the opening track "Miles and Miles of Texas" to the closing notes of "Route 66," Asleep at the Wheel never miss a beat, blending classic covers with original compositions that feel like they've been plucked straight from the golden age of Nashville. Each song is a little slice of Americana, served up with a hefty dose of Texas charm. The production on "Half a Hundred Years" is crisp and clean, allowing each instrument to shine through in all its twangy glory. The mix is pitch-perfect, with just the right amount of reverb to transport you back to a time when country music ruled the airwaves. So grab your cowboy boots and saddle up for a wild ride with Asleep at the Wheel. "Half a Hundred Years" is a delightful ode to the past, sure to have you two-stepping your way through the night. Yeehaw!
