3:00 Classic Concert: Asleep at the Wheel - Live from Austin Texas
Exponents of the 'western swing" style of country music, Ray Benson and his contemporary cowboys (and gals) keep this 1920's foot tapping music alive. The style evolved in rural America as a dance hall sound combining cowboy, folk, blues, Dixie jazz and polka with the instrumentation of fiddles, acoustic and steel guitar and piano. They are joined by the original Texas Playboys on several tracks in a tribute to the king of western swing - Bob Wills (New West)

Facebook: I (heart) Matinee Idle
'Matinee Idle is Radio New Zealand's Mufti Day. They let me and Simon "loose in the asylum". We get to be the guys testing the outer limits of listener patience and we benignly abuse this privilege.' says O'Brien. 'They let us play whatever we want! It's every radio presenter's dream.'
