Series: Preview ACL Festival

On the eve of the schedule being announced, one thing is certian and that is one the bands kicking things off will be none other than the ACL staple and grammy award winning band Asleep At The Wheel. They are next artist in the preview series. Tradition for me is starting the ACL Festival off on Friday at about noon with watching a little western swing and Asleep At The Wheel.

When your down in Texas Bob Wills is still the King. For a little over three decades now Asleep At The Wheel has been keeping western swing and the meomory of Bob Wills alive with there brand of western swing. Lead by band leader Ray Benson they have won several Grammy awards over the years. Keeping the spirt of Bob Wills alive is something they have worked hard at recording two tribute album and a two-act play called A Ride With Bob.
