When these two engage in a little name-dropping, it’s with a loving wink to Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and one particularly humorous shout-out to Hank Williams in the witty album opening track, “The Ballad of Dale & Ray.”
“From the same kindred spirit that birthed Willie & Waylon comes Dale & Ray, a not-exactly-new classic-country duo. The musical partnership between Texas troubadours Dale Watson and Ray Benson, the frontman of Western-swing outfit Asleep at the Wheel, has been decades in the making, thanks in large part to their continually intersecting career paths.” — Rolling Stone
