Asleep At the Wheel to get Americana lifetime achievement award
They may not be one of the 20 Greatest Austin Bands of All Time, but Ray Benson and Asleep At the Wheel have picked up another big honor.
It was announced today that the Wheel will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award for Performance at the 8th Annual Americana Awards ceremony, September 17th at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.
In a new release, Willie Nelson said, “I can’t think of a more deserving outfit for this award. Ray Benson will leave a mark. He’s been a lot of places, done a lot of things and recorded it all.”
