About "The Letter (That Johnny Walker Read)" by Asleep At The Wheel
Asleep at the Wheel deliver a honky-tonk elegy with 'The Letter,' a tale of whiskey-soaked regret. The Texas swing is in full force, fiddles and steel guitars weaving around a narrative of a missive read through a haze of Johnny Walker—a classic country heartbreak, both wry and mournful.
