   About Sleepy Eyes Nelson
Photobucket YOU CAN NOW BUY DIRTY WITH THE BLUES. CLICK BELOW TO ORDER A COPY
Order a new compilation from Devil's Ruin Records. It is called Rodentia: the best of Dark Roots Music. It is free Shipping for this cd. Old Sleepy has a wee place on it.
I come from the south west of Scotland. I'll play my guitar for some booze. I like to play cards and dominos. Ye can’t beat the dominos. Drinking and gambling, it's all there is to do about here. If you like my music feel free to send money and other items. Just message me for the address.

Armed with only a guitar, a hip flask and a love of old time blues and country tunes Sleepy Eyes Nelson plays songs about smoking, drinking, gambling and all the reasons that the city is a cold place for the blues. Sleepy’s songs haunt the dark and secluded hillsides and coastlines of South West Scotland as much as the bars and dead ends of the city where he drinks away his time. The production is rough and raw as cheap whisky, but Sleepy Eyes picks out tunes and rags to comfort the lost souls who wander with him on life’s lonesome highway. MOLE RAT REVIEW

The Hank in Chains Show





Jul 8 2009 10:28 PM

On July 8th, The Hank in Chains Show will feature a band that needs no introduction: the legendary Rolling Stones. They define rock and roll, and define longevity, having made great rock and roll for over 40 years. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are one of the greatest songwriting teams in the history of popular music and they show no sign of slowing down.

Artists/bands on this week's show include: Alice in Chains, Hank Williams, Patterson Hood, AC/DC, Fred Eaglesmith, Marty Robbins, William Elliott Whitmore, Brian McGee and The Hollow Speed, Mad Season, Mark Knopfler, Sleepy Eyes Nelson, Mike Ness, and Buck Owens.

Psst...
Hey there Kids!
Come closer and listen good...

Are ya:
Bored with listening to all those fancy pants rock stars and dysfunctional pop divas?
Can't stand alla that "yah yah yah" crap being played on those mega-international, heartless, corporate nasty fm radio stations?
Does ya like death country, blackgrass, hellbilly, trash blues and dark roots music?
Does ya like the idea of listening to DJ's that are unpaid volunteers, playing music that they love, with no set playlist, and with no ads on a free to air community radio station!

...Well have I got the radio show fer you...

"Thunderstorms and Neon Signs" on 4ZzZ 102.1fm from Australia.
http://www.myspace.com/thunderneon

You can webstream "Thunderstorms and Neon Signs" from Brisbane, Australia on Sunday afternoons from 2pm 'til 4pm Eastern Australian Time.
...You'll have to convert that to yer local time.

Hope y'all can listen in
