Lucky Oceans (born Reuben Gosfield, 21 April 1951) is an American pedal steel guitarist and a former member of country and Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel.

[4] Oceans was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 21 April 1951[5] to Eugene (a salesman at an aluminium fabricating company) and Phyllis (a drama teacher).

The following year saw the release of Texas Gold as the group's third album with the top-ten Country hit single The Letter That Johnny Walker Read.

[7] As member of the Asleep at the Wheel he won the Grammy Award for the 'Best Country Instrumental' in 1978[9] for the band's remake of Count Basie's "One O'clock Jump".

Oceans and Hughes were joined by Richard Danker on bass, Gary France on drums and Peter Busher on guitars and vocals.

The Zydecats started when Lucky approached Bill Rogers (vocals, saxophone and harmonica) to play some Zydeco together with fellow Dude Ranch member, Hughes.

Jenkins and fellow ECU graduate, Paul Binns, were the Zydecats' rhythm section for the first year, but were eventually replaced by Konrad Park and Ben Franz.

In 1993 he won a second Grammy Award ('Best Country Performance by a Duo') with Asleep at the Wheel for the band's collaboration with Lyle Lovett on "Blues for Dixie" from the 1993 album A Tribute to Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.
