Review
There aren't many legitimate characters left in popular music; the rotund Sleepy LaBeef isn't a media concoction or collection of outrageous cliches exploiting a carefully built image. He's a simple, hard-rocking vocalist with a manic performance style and musical approach that seamlessly blends rockabilly, classic rock and roll, gospel and country boogie into a non-stop, attacking mode. This 12-track live set from 1985 includes LaBeef renditions of "Milk Cow Blues," "Ring Of Fire," "Tore Up Over You," "My Toot Toot" and a rousing concluding medley that includes "Jambalaya" and "Folsom Prison Blues." No-frills, unsophisticated, joyous roots music without reverence or pomp. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
