Folk singer-songwriter Peter Case challenges listeners to be more attuned to the world through his politically-fueled lyricism and intricate finger-style acoustic guitar heard in Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John. This record reflects Case's transformation from power-pop songwriter to traditional folk artist with strong roots in Americana. This Grammy award nominated 11-track collection includes 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 its 15th anniversary, Let Us Now Praise Sleepy John is available now for the first time on vinyl.
