Can I get a freakin witness here? Will anyone come to see Sleepy LaBeef tonight? It's free, and I'm excited that it starts at 10 so I can still watch Gilmore Girls. 27th and 3rd? Something like that. Otherwise I'll have to take one of my new pet waterbugs. I guess he is actually more rockabilly than country, and he was one of those people on Sun back in the day. From his website:
"As significant as his recording career has been, it is the live Sleepy LaBeef
that is important. Today, at 67, Sleepy still performs two hundred shows a
year and plays with such energy that people a third of his age are
annihilated when they attempt to keep up with him.
Sleepy LaBeef’s live sets are truly indescribable.
One must see them to understand that he is
doing nothing less than giving up his body to the
spirit of the music and testifying. In this day of
studio effects and ever-changing technology,
many record buyers wonder why a live show even
matters. Sleepy LaBeef is the answer."
