Sleepy John Estes: Sleepy, Getting Sleepier
Philip Norman, The Sunday Times, 1972
THE ROAD stops at Sleepy John's house, at the top of a ploughed field, outside Brownsville, Tennessee, where the earth is thick and unyielding as old dung and the wind causes skeletons of old newspaper to dance and somersault.
