The Wheel Keeps on Rollin'

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Asleep at the Wheel; Genre: Country

Many members (and 25 years) after its inception, this band is still modern Western swing's premier ensemble. The Wheel Keeps on Rollin' runs the gamut from two-steppin', line-dancin' fare to '40s-style big-band romps. With guests Albert Lee, Johnny Gimble, and Bela Fleck, the picking fits into one category: mighty fine.
