Asleep At The Wheel - "Fat Boy Rag" [Live from Austin, TX]

[@carrollcaldwell4570]

Met Ray after a concert in Greenville S.C. as he was getting on their bus. He was very gracious and took the time to talk to us. Nice man.

[@custerranch]

Those are Texas Playboys Eldon Shamblin sitting playing guitar, Herb Remington on steel, and Leon Rausch behind Eldon. Plus Johnny Gimble on mandolin and fiddle. Mighty fine!

[@johnwright4395]

Got turned on to ya'll in 1974 and will continue to abuse my neighbors with these beautiful tunes.THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

Asleep At The Wheel is the rightful heirs to the legacy of Western Swing started by Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys!

[@wagonmaster1974]

What's not to love about a lacquered and flamed black upright bass, a great bass player surrounded by Ray Benson and Asleep At The Wheel!!? Ray sure liked focusing and showing off Cindy's abilities. Prettiest smile and cutest dimples to grace The Wheel.

wow

[@loupi4bama]

The most underrated band of all time.

[@tracykingston9668]

And the most famous Philadelphia cowboy. LOL

[@jasonjohnson7445]

Agreed.

[@tonyhemingway7980]

The only people who underrated them are the people who have never heard them.

[@jasonjohnson7445]

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? I have been a fan of this band since high school (1987)

[@shawngabriel7397]

I graduated high school in 1987, been a fan of asleep at the wheel ever since they started.

Hey, did the mandolin players just switch to fiddle? Right after Cindy's harmonic slide. What musicians.....

[@dwightarnold6980]

...? What ever happened to Cindy Cashdollar? The steel guitar player!

[@tommc49]

Alive and well, here latest album if great, has lots of guest artists. check it out on Amazon or Spotify

Cindy is the best. Moved back to Woodstock. Austin misses her.

She gigged with Jorma for awhile.

Johnny Gimble left side? Looks like him. Fiddle players just doing it right.

[@CarterG4Y]

It is indeed, and you'll pleased to know that he does a few solos throughout this session

[@mosrite60]

@@CarterG4Y Oh, yes great. Johnny IMO was probably the best fiddle player during his era. Very smooth. He also could play many jazz type tunes. The only other fiddle player is Mark O'Connor who is today by far the best (including his family!). But Johnny played many sessions with Chet which alone tells something. Indeed he was great and fit in well with AATW. RIP.

[@BoFrazer]

No mistaking Johnny. His nephew Jason Roberts played with the wheel for years, and now Emily is on piano. 💙 Killers all.

[@mosrite60]

@@BoFrazer oh agree. Johnny and Jason well, impossible to be any better. Johnny was just so smooth on country and jazz. Certainly one of the best ever. Thx for reply. Great Texan.
