Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson recruits Willie Nelson and George Strait for a Texas swing classic. Listen to “Take Me Back to Tulsa.”
Strait handles the bulk of the verses of the Western swing standard, popularized by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys in 1941. It’s a staple for Strait, who often drops “Take Me Back to Tulsa” into his own set lists. Nelson shows up for the final verse, singing about wearing a “great big smile” and traveling around the country “playing music by the hour.
” The recording is a summit of Texas greats, but it’s the musicianship of Asleep at the Wheel that makes the collaboration more than a novelty. The fiddles saw, the steel resonates, and the guitars ring, with Benson doing his best impression of Wills’ “. “I was trying to get across the sacrifices you have to make in 50 years on the road and the other positive side of it.
