Riding High In Texas on LP

In 1974 Asleep at the Wheel made the move from the Bay Area to Austin, Texas. With encouragement from Willie Nelson and Doug Sahm to relocate - the band settled in and made Austin their home, where they remain 50 years later. The band's 32nd record, Riding High In Texas, marks AATW's first new release since their 50th anniversary project Half A Hundred Years in 2021. "I have always wanted to do a 'Texas' record - a thank you and love letter to this state that has given me and the band so much," says Ray Benson, the band's leader and only original member. "This album is an introduction to the current and future of AATW. I hope everyone enjoys this eclectic collection of some of our favorite songs about Texas." Album Features Billy Strings, Lyle Lovett, and Brennen Leigh.
