| It took 15 years but Yep Roc has finally decided to issue Peter Case's Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John album on vinyl. |
"This is one of the best records that I’ve made, and I’m proud of the fact it was nominated for a Grammy. Richard Thompson and I start the album off with a rollicking guitar and vocal duet on Every Twenty-Four Hours, and the song Ain’t Gonna Worry No More continues to be one of the most popular songs in my live sets. I’m so happy this one is coming out on vinyl." – Peter Case
Here's the scoop...
Singer-songwriter Peter Case challenges listeners to be more attuned to the world through his politically-fueled lyricism and intricate finger-style acoustic guitar in Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John. The record showcases his abilities as a solo artist and folk singer-songwriter beyond his power-pop and rock n’ roll songwriting and performance during his time in The Plimsouls and The Nerves.
This Grammy-nominated album includes a collection of original songs from Case and a cover of the traditional blues tune “Get Away Blues.” The album features guest musicians Richard Thompson, Duane Jarvis, Carlos Guitarlos, and Norm Hamlet.
For the album’s 15th anniversary, Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John is now being released on vinyl for the first time. Pre-order a copy right here. Listen to "Get Away Blues," "That Soul Twist" and a Folk Alley performance of "Ain't Gonna Worry No More" from 2012 below.
