Live from Austin, TX is a live album and video by American country band Asleep at the Wheel, featuring several former members of the Texas Playboys. Recorded at the group's appearance on Austin City Limits on October 14, 1992, it was produced by Cameron Strang, Jay Woods and Gary Briggs, and released on November 14, 2006 by New West Records. Texas Playboys members Leon Rausch, Eldon Shamblin, Herb Remington and Johnny Gimble are featured on the second half of the album.
In a review of the album for music website AllMusic, Thom Jurek described Live from Austin, TX as "special", writing that "The bandmembers are so relaxed, open, and in the groove here that this stands out among their live recordings." He praised the performances of "Roly Poly", "Corrine, Corrina", "Blues for Dixie" and "Sugar Moon" as highlights of the collection, which he dubbed "a smoking program of rocking, strolling Western swing tunes".
