Along with charming originals such as "The Letter That Johnny Walker Read," the ensemble, led by vocalist/guitarist Ray Benson, offers up a handful of jazzy numbers by its chief inspiration, the legendary Bob Wills, including an upbeat "dance version" of "Bring It on Down to My House" and "I Wonder If You Feel the Way I Do," which features another Wills disciple, Merle Haggard. In addition to Haggard, 23 COUNTRY CLASSICS also includes appearances by Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Suzy Bogguss, extending the disc's appeal beyond even Asleep at the Wheel's sizeable and devoted fanbase. Fans of country music, especially fans of Western swing, will want to add this collection album to the spots they save for the music they play the most. Asleep at the Wheel recorded the album 23 Country Classics in early 2001. This offering is a celebration of Texas dancehall style. You'll find several old favorites here, many flavored with jazz, honky tonk, rock, boogie, and R&B -- all coated with the energetic touch that this Grammy-winning group adds to its work. Some of the outstanding tracks on 23 Country Classics are "Bump Bounce Boogie," "Lay Down Sally," "Cherokee Boogie," "She Came to Dance," and "Still Water Runs the Deepest." It should be noted that a lot of the numbers have been spiced up into dance versions. ~ Charlotte Dillon Producer: Gary Wallington (Compilation) Musical Guests Merle Haggard Willie Nelson Suzy Bogguss Dolly Parton   Artist Overview Since the release of its first album in 1974, Asleep at the Wheel has remained steadfast in its devotion to the music of Bob Wills and other Western Swing greats of the past.
