Product Description Sleepy LaBeef has made many hard rockin' studio records over the years, but rarely have they come close to the volcanic energy that he can summon up before an audience. Here, at long last, is a set of transcendental performances captured live at Boston's Harper's Ferry Club. Sleepy storms through a generous set of rockabilly, blues, rock and country songs, all delivered with gospel fervor. .com Newcomers to journeyman rockabilly and honky-tonk crossbreed Sleepy LaBeef should check out Peter Guralnick's loving essay in Lost Highway. Guralnick's piece makes it clear why LaBeef still matters decades after his heyday. This live set from 1985, recorded at Harper's Ferry Club in Boston, evidences the titanic force of his vocals and band leadership and his ability to reorganize classic country material. Beginning with a tumultuous "Tore Up over You" and closing with a breakneck medley of "Jambalaya," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Let's Turn Back the Years," "Hey Good Looking," and "Folsom Prison Blues," LaBeef comes across like a timeless and unstoppable force of nature. --Roy Kasten

excellent
i'm loathe to give 5 stars to anything, but this one comes close (5 stars would be seeing sleepy in person, dancing your butt off 5 feet from him). imho almost all music (rocakbilly, classical, blues, zydeco...) is best heard live. this is a live cd that captures as much of sleepy's hard driving guitar and booming baritone as possible on cd. i highly recommend both the cd and seeing sleepy live (as close as possible).

Sleepy LaBeef
If ya like ta Boogie Woogie this is a great cd ta get down and do it. He does a good job on remakes especially the song Gunslinger if ya ever heard Bo Diddley. The songs are all good to listen to over & over again.
