Western Standard Time.......2006-07-23
I think though that their best music was in their early years. When their female singer, Chris, O'Connell, left the band I think that they lost something vital to their sound. I'd strongly suggest that anybody interested in this band look at their earlier efforts like 'Texas Gold", 'The Wheel', 'Collision Course', and 'Wheelin' and Dealin'.
That said, 'Western Standard Time' is my favorite of the post-Chris O'Connell albums. Most of the album consists of highly competent covers of old Country and Rockabilly classics such as 'Don't Let Go', 'The House of Blue Lights' and 'Hot Rod Lincoln'.
The album kicks off with a swinging version of 'Chattanooga Choo Choo' that is, in my opinion, worth the price of the album all by itself. A couple of other higlights are their version of the Bob Wills classic, 'That's What I Like about the South' and 'Walk on By'.
In conclusion, I'd say that if you know and love Asleep at the Wheel, this would be a worthy addition to your collection. If you're new to the band, you'd do better to purchase one of the albums I mentioned above.

Great western swing from Ray and the boys.......2002-11-23
This particular album was recorded in 1988 and features many great covers. The band's particular style ensures that you won't ever mistake Asleep at the Wheel's covers for other versions of the same songs.
The set opens with a sensational version of Glenn Miller's Chattanooga choo choo, in which Ray duets with Willie Nelson. Other great covers include Hot rod Lincoln (a song I always associate with Commander Cody, though I believe Johnny Bond was the original singer), That's what I like about the south (Phil Harris), Walk on by (Leroy van Dyke), That lucky old sun (Frankie Laine), San Antonio rose (Bob Wills), Sugarfoot rag (Red Foley) and Walking the floor over you (Ernest Tubb). Indeed, all the tracks are of a very high quality.
Those of you who recognise these names will know that most of the songs originate from the 1940's, generally regarded as the golden age of western swing. This album and others by Askeep at the wheel prove that the songs and the style are still very enjoyable.

Yes,but it's not the soundtrack to the book!.......2007-07-11
NO!It's the soundtrack to the PC game from 1998 with the same name!
I happen to have both and I can confirm the music is basically the same.
So my guess is the makers of the PC game asked Berry to record the music for the game and some stuff got left out.
He decided to record some tracks with members from Celt Rock group Tempest (great band!) to make it complete/some money.
Sure the album isn't great but there's some nice tracks anyway.
Nod bad.Not great.
Gleemen do not use synthesizers.......2006-08-23
Should've gone with a Knight's Tale format if he wanted to make it modern. At least you can giggle along to the fact that it would suggest it KNOWS it's inappropriate.
Besides, who hasn't read the massive One Power battles with "Rock You Like A Hurricane" in the back of their mind?!
It IS good!.......2006-08-17
Good music, but not Wheel of Time..........2006-01-25
horrible.......2006-01-25
I may be wrong on the artist's goal, but due to the fact that the music fits in not at all with the books it appears that he wished to cash in on a big name, and this was it.
Even modern instruments would have been OK, but electric keyboard? come on!!!

THE VOICE OF ENIGMA........2005-11-22
this "comeback" cd is a masterpeice. it contains some of her best songs. such as "forgive me", "forever", "footprints", and the depeche mode cover, "freelove". (they're all f songs?!?!). as well as talk tal's classic, "such a shame".
this album is her most "enigma" sounding. so if your a fan of enigma, but new to sandra, then this is a good place to start.
The Wheel of 'Success'.......2005-11-22
1) forgive me (9/10) great opener; sets a great tone for the rest of the album.
2) footprints (9/10) sounds a lot like Enigma, very strong production.
3) motivation (10/10) this one will warm up your soul; very inspirational, uplifting lyrics (and sound)
4) i close my eyes (10/10) great ballad; it almost seems to take you take you somewhere....and it is a very pleasant place...
5) perfect touch (10/10) one of my favorites, i love her voice, the production and the tribal chants in the background; this should have been a single.
6) silent running (9/10) a very nice rendition of a well known cover.
7) such a shame (10/10) another favorite; this one will make you want to dance.
8) now! (9/10) another uplifting song, this one is a duet with her hubby.
9) free love (10/10) a cover of the Depeche Mode (2001) song of the same name; dare I say better than the original?? : )
10) forever (7/10) the weakest track, yet still a gem, (another ballad)
11) the wheel of time (10/10) I love this one, kind of dark, but a very strong closing for the album.....you will love it (also reminiscent of Enigma)
Excellent !.......2005-09-25
awesome .......2005-05-07
the greatest disappointment.......2004-02-29
What happened to Sandra (and her yobar')?
This CD is one of her worst albums.
You should buy her albums 1985, 1988, 1992 and 1995 (if you wish to listen to her good songs).
If you are NOT her fan, then you may buy this CD (and not to buy her other albums, because those CDs and this CD are not the same thing).
