About The Record:

Collision Course by country band Asleep at the Wheel, features two tracks written by members of the band. The remaining recordings are covers of compositions originally by popular Western swing, Cajun and jazz artists. Texas Me & You was released as a single and became a minor hit on the country charts. Collision Course was the band's fourth album to register on the US Billboard Top Country Albums chart, reaching No. 46. It was also their first to chart outside of the United States, peaking at No. 19 on the Canadian RPM Country Albums chart. The album was praised by critics for its mix of genres, including blues, swing, jazz, Cajun and boogie-woogie. The band's recording of Count Basie's One O'Clock Jump won the Grammy Award for Best Country Instrumental Performance. Louisiana (a 1974 song written and recorded by Randy Newman) and Pine Grove Blues were also released as singles.
