Sleepy LaBeef: Rockabilly's Tower Of Power
Martin Hawkins, Melody Maker, 5 May 1979
IF WALT DISNEY had decided to make an animated cartoon of the rock 'n' roll story he would have needed a rockabilly character, and I can imagine that the end result would probably have resembled a caricature of Thomas Paulsley LaBeef. And if Walt had looked for a strange name to go with that man-mountain frame, with its inscrutable face, phenomenally large eyelids and amazing baritone voice, he would surely have chosen "Sleepy LaBeef."
