Lowell Fulson - “Sleeper” Jewel Spotlights the Blues, Volume 1 Song released in 1969. Compilation released in 1994.

Diverse bluesman Lowell Fulson is one of the most important artists to come out of the California blues scene. Inducted in to both the Blues and R&B hall of fame, his career spanned from the 1940s to 1999, when he died. Though his hits seemed to dry up in the 70s, he received a Grammy nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album for his 1995 album, Them Update Blues. When he migrated from his home of Oklahoma to California in the 40s he formed a band that included Ray Charles and legendary tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine. 

This song finds Fulson towards the middle of his career on Louisiana label Jewel Records with a nice mid-tempo funky blues song. While the song has a nice funky bass and guitar with an abundance of horn stabs, Fulson’s smooth yelling vocal style is what shines along with his guitar solo on the bridge as well as his guitar work at the abrupt ending.
