western swing, but with a rhythm section that's usually straight-up-and-down stiff, The Wheel's recordings mainly just leave you craving their inspirations. The 18-songTributeovercomes this problem by loading up on singers who do their best to swing even when the band doesn't. George Strait, doing "Big Balls In Cowtown," is a natural, of course, as are the offerings from Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett and Dolly Parton. Even Garth Brooks' go at "Deep Water," who mimics Strait to perfection here, is a pleasant surprise.--David Cantwell

Advantages: Very soft pillow, plays the music at a reasonable level, nice novelty. Disadvantages: Not washable and so has a limited life.
I recently noticed a Sound Asleep pillow in a local curtain and bedding store but did not quite realise what it actually was. As I have spondylosis in my neck I am always on the look out for good pillows and that this was called'Sound Asleep' as it was so good.. However this one was not what I would call a good pillow; in other words one which will aid restful sleep due to its' material etc. For one thing it felt very soft, just the sort of pillow Hubby likes, and it looked as if the support it would offer would not be appropriate for me. However taking a closer look I realised why it was called the Sound Asleep Pillow.
At one corner of this pillow there is a lead which has a jack at the end, so that you can connect it to a music player. Something such as an MP3, IPOD or really any music equipment you have, that has a suitable ...
Advantages: Sturdy unlike some of the small speaker systems Disadvantages: none
I purchased the Bose SoundDock a few years ago to take my Ipod classic, it does however take all types of ipod. I think the quality of the sound is excellent & the speaker is so easy to use. After I had purchased the speaker system they brought out a battery one, this would have been even more value for money in my opinion as it would be easier to transport to the garden etc. The only buttons on the system are the volume + & - , I think this is adequate as the treble/bass etc can be controlled via the ipod itself. I don't very often use the remote but this is small & compact. I have had many great parties using this speaker & totally recommend it. In future I will always buy Bose. ...
Advantages: Very robust and firm wheel. wireless Disadvantages: MAY STRIKE SOME AS "CHEAP" LOOKING
This wheel comes extremely well packaged and may take you a few mintues to actually get into it but atleast this lends assurance that it will transport well when it was shipped.
The packages comes in 3 separate parts:
>Wheel
>Pedals
>Table attachement
WHEEL:
The wheel itself is covered in a highly durable rubber covering making it very easy to keep a grip on it, which is an important feature if like me yours hands can sweat in the middle of an intense race. The wheel also has all the buttons you would find on a normal controller and they are all intuitively placed. The X,Y, A,B buttons are placed in easy reach of the thumb so when driving they are easy reachablt. The trigger buttons are also present as large levers placed directly behind the wheel so as you can easily use them but with enough room between them and the wheel ...

Recorded at Bismeaux Studio, Austin, Texas and Jack's Tracks Recording Studio, Nashville, Tennessee. Includes liner notes by Ray Benson and Robert K. Oermann. "Blues For Dixie" won 1995 Grammy Awards for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal, and TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF BOB WILLS AND THE TEXAS PLAYBOYS won the Grammy for Best Recording Package. The album was also nominated for Best Country Album. Although Texas' Asleep at the Wheel spent their career keeping the music of Bob Wills alive, the band waited 20 years before recording their first full-fledged tribute to Western swing's king. 1993's star-studded TRIBUTE TO THE MUSIC OF BOB WILLS is an absolute gem, one that perfectly captures the spirit of Wills' music while avoiding the too-reverent approach that has handicapped similar efforts by others. From the opening instrumental number "Red Wing," TRIBUTE carves out a happy medium between tribute and jam session. "Red Wing" is kicked off in the traditional manner by Playboy alums Eldon Shamblin and Johnny Gimble, who are soon joined by Chet Atkins and Vince Gill, each of whom turns in a tasteful, blistering guitar solo. Next up is George Strait singing "Big Balls in Cowtown" and sounding like he's having the time of his life. Before the party is over, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Lyle Lovett, and plenty of others have contributed understated, elegant performances. Next to Wills' original recordings, country doesn't get much better than this.
Album Reviews
Q (1/94, p.89) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...Current Nashville fashion favours dance tunes, traditional instruments and crooners, so this star-studded tribute could well do for western swing what the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN did for country in 1972...." Musician (12/93, p.87) - "...amidst the current glut of `tribute' records out today that suggust thinly disguised marketing schemes, this one is the real thing....Asleep At The Wheel is a model of taste and economy, yet capable of surprising emotional force...."
