Search - Sleepy Eyes Nelson :: A Bottle of Wine at the Bellgrove Hotel

After the success of Sleepy's debut "Dirty with the Blues" he ventured into the city for the first time in years to record his sophomore effort titled No Sleep Past Midnight, No Slips Until Mid-day with brother JB. Notorious for being the isolationists Sleepy barricaded himself within the walls of his room at the Bellgrove Hotel for days on end making the recording sessions for No Sleep Past Midnight, No Slips Until Mid-Day staggered and exponentially more difficult to produce for JB. Upon hearing the material Sleepy was creating within the Bellgrove Hotel, JB brought the same vintage equipment used to record Dirty With the Blue to Sleepy s self-assigned holding cell and recorded the new material found on A Bottle of Wine at the Bellgrove Hotel. Continuing the marathon recording sessions at the hotel the tracks originally planned to be produced in a big budget studio for No Sleep were recorded in the same room and the unfinished studio tracks abandoned for the comfortable, gritty sound attributed to Sleepy Eyes Nelson.
