SLEEPY LABEEF


When I was in high school, there used to be a dive in the Combat Zone in Boston called the Hillbilly Ranch.  Tex Ritter and Kenny Roberts used to drop by regularly - but the best show of all was when Sleepy LaBeef held forth.  He's still at it too.  He's got drive, energy and a voice that's too cool to be true. 

From a 1979 date, this is HONEY HUSH > TOO MUCH MONKEY BUSINESS > PARTY DOLL.

Here is Sleepy covering WALKIN' SLOWLY > WHO DO YOU LOVE.  And yes, he can play guitar too.

Sleepy LaBeef is IT, man!  TORE UP > RING OF FIRE
