We recently came across this excellent version of 'Little Eyes' performed by the UK's leading tribute to the Kings of Leon and a real Henderson Management favourtie, the KINGS OV LEON...
The Kings Ov Leon sent an email to 'Tribute Ale' after picking up a beer mat whilst waiting at one of their shows just to let them know that they naturally only drink Tribute Ale!!! Tribute Ale sent the band a crate of ale(!) and asked the band to record their own version of, 'Little Eyes'. Tribute Ale have recently been running a ‘Tribute Act’ promotion, encouraging people to record their own unique version of this popular Cornish song...
Here's the video:-
The exact origin of 'Little Eyes' or 'Lil Lize' is unknown. The first recording of the song was by the American vocal harmony group the 'Delta Rhythm Boys' back in the 1950s although the song is thought to be of English descent and has been a classic folk song of Cornwall and the South West for many many years.
There have been numberous alternative verses to the song but the chorus remains the same!
