The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel is the 16th studio album by American country band Asleep at the Wheel. Recorded at Bismeaux Studio in Austin, Texas and Bradley's Barn in Nashville, Tennessee, it was produced by the band's frontman Ray Benson and released on June 5, 2001, by Relentless Nashville, an imprint of Madacy Entertainment Group. The album was issued in the United Kingdom in 2003 by Evangeline Records under the title Take Me Back to Tulsa. Despite its title, The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel is not a greatest hits collection or other compilation; rather, it features newly re-recorded versions of the some of the band's most popular songs from earlier releases. In addition to the group's regular lineup – which includes debutant John Michael Whitby on piano – the album also features several guest performers, including former steel guitarist Lucky Oceans, Johnny Gimble on mandolin and Huey Lewis on harmonica. The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel did not register on any record charts, but received a positive reception from critics. Reviewers praised the band's choice of songs, which they agreed served as a good introduction to the group for new listeners. Two songs from the record were nominated for Grammy Awards: "Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens" for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and "Sugarfoot Rag" for Best Country Instrumental Performance.
