Editorial Review: Amazon.com: Ride with Bob is the new and improved sequel to Asleep at the Wheel's star-studded 1993 effort, Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys. The playing behind the high-profile guest vocalists is hotter and looser this time, with plenty of solo space and the Wheel's Ray Benson assuming Wills's jovial ringleader role. Merle Haggard delivers a wild falsetto version of "St. Louis Blues" backed by the Squirrel Nut Zippers' horns, and Willie Nelson steps out with the Manhattan Transfer on "Going Away Party." Steve Wariner and Vince Gill trade fluid guitar licks on "Bob's Breakdown," Lyle Lovett and Shawn Colvin share a mic on "Faded Love," and the Dixie Chicks romp through "Roly Poly." All of Asleep at the Wheel's recordings have been tributes to Wills's Western-swing legacy in one way or another, but this is as close as they've come to distilling the timeless essence of the sound. --Rick Mitchell Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tribute to Bob Wills, by Asleep at the WheelThis is a nice album. Asleep at the Wheel always does a good job with the music of Bob Wills, and this is certainly no exception. In fact, I like it better than some others they've done. It's full of toe-tapping melodies that were signature pieces of Wills style. Anyone who enjoys listening to the old-fashioned Texas swing of Bob Wills and the Playboys is sure to enjoy it. Recommended. Rating: - CD Captures the Live Show WellIf you have seen the stage performance of A Ride With Bob (life of Bob Willis) as performed by Asleep at the Wheel this CD is a must purchase. If not it will still give you a cozy feel for Texas swing at its finest. Rating: - Old Country Swing ClassicsDoesn't get better than this! Done in the old Bob Wills tradition. No better musicians keeping country swing alive. Go Asleep at the Wheel! Rating: - Fiddles!!!This a frandamtastic tribute to Bob Wills & the Original Texas Playboys, & Asleep at the Wheel does ol Bob Proudly. AATW shines clearly & the well known artists, such as Willie, Reba, Dixie Chicks, Merle Haggard do not out weigh this fine rendition. If you like fiddle/country swing, this one can't be beat. Rating: - Stands the test of timeI loved this CD when I bought it back in 2000. Played it countless times while commuting in my car, danced around the house to it on several occasions I won't say more about - and six years later I still enjoy listening to it! I could live without maybe three of the seventeen tracks, but overall I treasure this music. What a collection of artists here: the Dixie Chicks, Willie Nelson, Clint Black, Lee Ann Womack, the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Reba McEntire, The Manhattan Transfer, Tim McGraw and of course Asleep at the Wheel. The best talent, peforming strong songs. Classic country, Texas swing - whatever you call it, it's music to enjoy for years. At least, it has been for me. |
