A giant in the Rockabilly world in both name and stature (the guy's 6'7"), Sleepy LaBeef has been grinding out a hopping mixture of country blues and rock 'n' roll since the early '50s. His good-time music is best heard live, but even within the confines of recorded music, LaBeef's peanut butter-thick rumble of a voice moves through you like a passing freight train. Truckin' songs, barn-burnin' dance numbers, and early rock 'n' roll classics are equally favored by his laid-back charm and uncommonly nimble guitar picking.
