"Willie Nelson & Asleep At The Wheel" - AUSTIN CITY LIMITS veterans and country music legends Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel join forces onstage in celebration of their collaborative LP, "Willie and the Wheel."

Their set list includes "Whiskey River," "Funny How Time Slips Away/Crazy/Night Life," "Sweet Jenny Lee," "Hesitation Blues," "Right or Wrong," "Fan It," "Oh! You Pretty Woman," "Sitting on Top of the World," "Bring it on Down to My House," "Pancho & Lefty," "Always on My Mind" and "On the Road Again."

“Nelson sounds like an absolute natural in these environs,” The Washington Post wrote. “Asleep at the Wheel’s take on Western swing should be especially interesting to fans of early 20th-century American popular music. Their fidelity to the source material means that traces of jazz swing, ragtime and Dixieland are preserved as if in amber, sounding much as they did in the 30s and 40s.”
