Keepin' Me Up Nights

Keepin' Me Up Nights is the 11th studio album by American western swing band Asleep at the Wheel. Recorded primarily in Nashville, Tennessee, it was produced by the band's frontman Ray Benson with Barry Beckett, Tim DuBois and Scott Hendricks, and released in July 1990 as the group's first album on Arista Records. Unlike its 1988 predecessor Western Standard Time, Keepin' Me Up Nights features almost all original material, with just one cover version included. Despite the commercial success of both 10 and Western Standard Time, Asleep at the Wheel was dropped by Epic Records and subsequently signed with the newly founded Arista Nashville imprint in 1989. For the group's first album on the new label, they worked with several external songwriters and a number of producers, including the division's founder co-DuBois. The record was Asleep at the Wheel's last to feature fiddler Larry Franklin as a full-time band member. Keepin' Me Up Nights peaked at number 73 on the US Billboard Top Country Albums chart, the band's lowest position since 1985's Pasture Prime failed to chart.
