The Very Best of Asleep at the Wheel was released in the middle of 2001. This best-of album carries 14 tunes. The songs are standard Asleep at the Wheel fare done in the modern Western swing style that this country group does so well. The recording is an excellent offering that brings together many old fan favorites and places them all on one full-length album for the enjoying. Collections like these are a great way for new listeners to get to know a group. It should be noted that these songs are not the original versions you'll find on older Asleep at the Wheel albums -- since the rights to the tunes were divided up among different labels -- but are actually re-recorded adaptations done just for this venture. The end result was worth the redoing, not that anything was wrong with the originals. ~ Charlotte Dillon Producer: Ray Benson Musical Guests Mandy Barnett Eliza Gilkyson Huey Lewis Brad Paisley   Compilation Appearances 70's Hits Country No. 1 Strait Out Of The Box Country Goes Raffi Dare To Dream...Best Of Don Wa Classic Country Road Songs Greetings From Texas Cooder Graw: cooder Graw Texas Troubadours Greetings From Texas Classic Country:country Standard Time 30 Years Of Stony(2cd/dvd(w/ Bonus DVD) Austin City Limits Festival 2006 Highway Fever: All Time Greatest Country Road Redneck Christmas Why The Hell Not? 906 This Is Trucker's Jukebox Anthems Best Of Country Always Lift Him Up Ultimate Grammy Collection: Contemporary Country 25 Best:country Favorites All Star Christmas Last Of The Breed Live In Concert Duets   Associated Artists and Works Nelson, Willie Willie & The Wheel [Digipak] ~ Nelson, Willie Willie Nelson & Asleep At The Wheel (Deluxe Editio ~ Nelson, Willie Nelson, Willie Riders In The Sky   Technical Info Release Date : 11/27/2007 Original Release Date : 2001 Catalog ID : CD-9495 Label : Big A Entertainment Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 49m : 29s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00678572949524    Related Videos Lost Highway: Willie Nelson
