The Wheel Keeps on Rollin' (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

The Wheel Keeps on Rollin' is the 13th studio album by American country band Asleep at the Wheel. Recorded at studios in Austin, Texas and Nashville, Tennessee, it was produced by Andy Byrd with the band's frontman Ray Benson and released on November 21, 1995 by Capitol Nashville. The album was produced to mark the 25th anniversary of the group's 1970 inception, and was its first collection of new original studio material since the release of Keepin' Me Up Nights in 1990. Following the critical and commercial success of Tribute to the Music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys in 1993, Asleep at the Wheel recorded The Wheel Keeps on Rollin' for Capitol in 1995. Primarily made up of original material, it features three cover versions including a recording of Eric Clapton's "Lay Down Sally", which was released as a single in January 1996. Guest performers on the album include steel guitarist Lloyd Maines, bassist Dave Pomeroy and drummer Chad Cromwell. The Wheel Keeps on Rollin' received positive reviews from the majority of critics, many of whom praised its mix of "classic" Western swing and more radio-friendly country music. Some commentators, however, criticised's Benson vocal performances on the record. The album did not chart in the US, but was the band's first to reach the top ten of the RPM Country Albums chart in Canada when it peaked at number 3 in 1996. It was the band's last studio album to feature pianist Tim Alexander. (en)
