Austin City Limits Hall of Fame 2015: Asleep at the Wheel

A national as well as Texan institution, the Grammy-winning Austin band Asleep at the Wheel has kept the Western swing flame burning with “Boogie Back to Texas,” “Choo Choo Ch’boogie” and “The Letter That Johnny Walker Read.” Still led by Ray Benson, the band taped the first regular episode (following the pilot) of Austin City Limits, and have gone on to appear eleven times.
