New Routes, the new album by Asleep At The Wheel, marks both a new path forward and a nod to the freewheeling roots of one of Texas’ most beloved bands. After a decade of collaborating on record with friends, including Willie Nelson on 2009’s Willie And The Wheel, and paying ongoing tribute to the groundbreaking music of Western Swing pioneer Bob Wills, the Wheel is marking 2018 with their first album of new material in a decade. With a fresh lineup, Asleep At The Wheel demonstrates convincingly it’s more relevant, enjoyable and musically nimble than any time in its 45-year history.
