I Love To Lie, and Listen to the Music

Me? I love to lie whether I’m listening to music or not.

Anyhow, lots to like in this video. You’d have to cast your mind back to the 1940s to find close harmony singing on a par with the Quebe sisters. Asleep at the Wheel has always been amusing. They’re musical scholars. Unlike most people who keep musical traditions alive, they have musical talent to go with their enthusiasm. Ray Benson has a pleasant tenor/baritone voice, and sounds like he woulda fit right in with the Texas Playboys.

Along the Navajo Trail is the title song from a 1945 Roy Rogers movie. All kinds of people have covered it at one time or another. You can run the gamut from Bing Crosby to Fats Domino and back again if you like. But there’s no great need to go hunting around. There can’t be a better version, can there?
