Why They’re Worth Watching:
Over the course of the last three decades, Ray Benson and the Wheel have boldly defied the fickle lures of the mainstream -- and thrived -- by sticking to their noble cause of keeping that distinctly American of art forms, Western Swing, alive and kicking. It is a mission that has won the band and Ray nine Grammys to date. In reviving the freewheeling, eclectic sensibility of Western swing godfather Bob Wills, the Wheel earned enthusiastic critical praise throughout their lengthy career; they not only preserved classic sounds that had all but disappeared from country music, but were also able to update the music, keeping it a living, breathing art form.
For Fans Of: Willie Nelson, Steve Earle, Van Morrison
