Search - Sleepy Eyes Nelson :: No Sleep Past Midnight, No Slips Until Mid-Day

Following the breakout debut of Dirty With the Blues, Sleepy Eyes Nelson s sophomore effort was originally planned to be the wetting of the artist s teeth in a studio to create a sound more polished than the gritty debut recorded using vintage equipment. Following a few studio sessions with brother JB, the city life proved too much for Sleepy and he sequestered himself within the walls of a hotel. In this room Sleepy began using a computer for the first time and even designed the artwork for the album himself using Microsoft Paint on Windows 95. Ironically, after abandoning the studio and all recorded tracks, No Sleep Past Midnight, No Slips Past Mid-Day was recorded in the very room that was to be his resting place between studio recordings on the same vintage equipment that is responsible for his debut.
