Our Take
Our Take
Ah, Peter Case, the man who effortlessly fuses Americana, folk, and rock into a delicious musical cocktail. But with Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John (15th Anniversary Edition), he presents a reimagined version of his classic album that is like a fine wine - only getting better with time.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful title track, "Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John," setting the tone for the rest of the journey. Case's gravelly, soulful voice weaves through each track like a master storyteller, drawing the listener in with every word.
Tracks like "Lost in the Stars" and "Something's Coming" showcase Case's ability to capture the essence of life's highs and lows with raw honesty and emotion. And let's not forget the infectious energy of "If You Got a Light to Shine" - a foot-stomping anthem that will have you tapping your toes and singing along in no time.
But it's not just Case's vocals that shine on this album. The instrumentation, from the gentle strum of the guitar to the melancholic wail of the harmonica, creates a rich tapestry of sound that is both familiar and fresh.
Overall, Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John (15th Anniversary Edition) is a must-listen for any fan of Peter Case or Americana music in general. It's a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. So grab a glass of your finest wine, sit back, and let the magic of Peter Case wash over you. Cheers!

About the artist
Peter Case
Peter Case, the enigmatic troubadour from Buffalo, New York, has been weaving tales of love, heartbreak, and redemption for over four decades. With a voice that can hush a rowdy bar or fill a concert hall, Case is a true master of his craft. His early years in the punk rock scene of Los Angeles with The Nerves and The Plimsouls laid the foundation for his solo career, which has seen him release over a dozen albums to critical acclaim. From gritty rockers to haunting ballads, Case's songwriting prowess knows no bounds. But it's not just his music that sets him apart. Case's stage presence is a sight to behold. With his wild mane of hair and his signature fedora perched atop his head, he cuts a figure that is equal parts rock star and storyteller. And his between-song banter is not to be missed, full of wit and wisdom that keeps audiences hanging on his every word. Whether he's playing in a dingy dive bar or headlining a festival stage, Case brings a raw energy and authenticity to his performances that is truly captivating. So if you ever have the chance to see Peter Case live, don't hesitate. You won't regret it. Trust me, I'm a music critic.
