synonymous with western swing at its best a hot mix of jazz hillbilly boogie and swing. Where ever Ray Benson takes to the stage with his band they bring the hall to its boiling point! The tracklist features 'Cherokee Maiden' 'Miles Of Texas' 'Route 66' 'Poly Poly' 'Bob Wills Is Still The King' 'Take Me Back To Tulsa' 'Jumping At The Woodside' 'You're From Texas' 'Cherokee Boogie' 'Big Balls In Cowtown' 'Hot Rod Lincoln' 'House Of Blues Lights' and 'Boogie Back To Texas'.

Advantages: You don't want to skip any tracks. A hypnotic, cleverly written CD, half of the songs exceed 5mins but it anything but hard to listen to. Disadvantages: it has a m..m..m..m..m..m..m..m..m..m...stammer in the middle..(well mine does because it got scrached...) other than that....disadvantage??? hmmm nope...
...sacrificing the unexpected turns any record should have.
The following CD "Acast of thousands" is equally as good.... but thats another review alltogether...
Asleep in the back can be purchased from:

Advantages: Elbow Bending Over Backwards And Succeeding To Make Misery Sound Cool. Disadvantages: The Effort Required To Tame This Magnificent Album.

The Elbow experience is like when you watch a film and you know deep down it is quality but if you're honest with yourself you are clueless as to what's going on.

Advantages: Strong songs from beginning to end Disadvantages: Not for those looking for cheery pop.
...Signed to the V2 label, home of the Stereophonics, Elbow are spearheading their New Acoustic Movement. Yes I’m reviewing NAM bands again…
Here’s one of those music phrases that brings journalists all over the country out in a cold sweat. "Elbow sound like Radiohead" I’m not saying they do you understand, but if I had to compare them to anyone I’d have to say them or the Doves. The Doves is probably the better of the two, since Elbow and The Doves both hail from Greater Manchester and both have that solemn anthemic quality to their songs. Elbow the most famous Bury band, well one day…
"Asleep In The Back" is their debut album, which is out this month. After 10 years of trying, being dumped by Island and EMI, I think it’s a shame we’ve had to wait so long for this. Though now couldn’t be a more perfect time, fitting...
