Wheelin' and Dealin' (Asleep at the Wheel album)

Wheelin' and Dealin' is the seventh studio album by the Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel. It was released in 1976 on the Capitol Records label. The album continued the band's tradition of blending classic Western swing with elements of jazz, country, and blues.

The album features a mix of original compositions and covers of classic songs from the genre. Notably, it includes a version of Bob Wills' "Take Me Back to Tulsa," a song strongly associated with Western swing music. Other tracks showcase the band's instrumental virtuosity and Ray Benson's songwriting talent.

While not Asleep at the Wheel's most commercially successful album, Wheelin' and Dealin' is considered a solid entry in their discography and a good representation of their signature sound during that period. It contributed to their continued popularity and helped to cement their reputation as leading figures in the revival and preservation of Western swing music.
