This is for Ronnie, another Bob Wills fan. Ray Benson from Asleep at the Wheel teamed with Riders in the Sky to do this classic Bob Wills song.

  • When I was in Kuwait I played this song over and over. Talk about your dusty skies. When we had a dust storm it was a DUST STORM.

  • @cahtube76 Glad you enjoyed the song and thrilled that you're back from Kuwait safely! A friend's nephew served in Iraq during the first Gulf War and I remember him telling me that when the wind kicks up in the desert you literally cannot see two feet in front of you. Yeesh!

  • What an ageless classic. Where would music be today without Asleep At The Wheel? My only (minor) criticism is that the "Sons" singers sound a bit less "masculine" than they should - especially compared to Ray. Otherwise this is a fine version of a great song. :)

  • Ray Benson has the perfect voice for this kind of music, doesn't he? And Asleep at the Wheel's greatest contribution has been keeping alive the music of Bob Wills. For that I will always love them.

    Thanks for stopping by to listen and comment. Your time is much appreciated.

  • I would have to agree with you.  This song never sounds old to me. Thanks for stopping by and the comment.

  • I adore Bob Wills and Ray and The Wheel (and the Riders here)...and Dusty Skies, written by the great Cindy Walker.

  • Glad you enjoyed it, Cindy! I agree with everything you just said a million per cent! Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Do appreciate it!
