Here’s a bunch of guys and gals that sound
like they’re really enjoying themselves and
I’d like to think is a good representation of
what they can do live. It feels fast and loose,
and I suspect was recorded ‘as live’, and
that’s what makes it so darn enjoyable.
- Duncan Warwick, Country Music People
While Asleep at the Wheel has carried the
torch of Western Swing and kept it alive
and well, they have also lit the way for
outfits like the Hot Texas Swing Band. Hot
Texas leans heavily to the Bob Wills & the
Texas Playboys-style swing, the kind that
makes you wish for the nearest wooden
dancefloor...The good thing about swing is
that it never goes out of style, and Hot Texas
Swing Band bounces that country boogie
with panache.
- Margaret Moser, Austin Chronicle
… outstanding in their [Hot Texas Swing
Band’s] field… Dormont’s tight outfit has
flourished over the last three years. …the
band name pretty much says it all …
