Multi-talented Scottish singer-songwriter performs his own take on Americana. Original tunes with beautiful guitar work: laugh with Her Father Called Me Franken
Bob Leslie is the unknown soldier of the Scottish songwriting scene. Out of full-time professional action for fifteen years (due to family commitments), he never stopped writing and has recently returned with a 12-song CD of self-penned Americana with a touch of Tom Waits about it. In A Different World (release August 2010) employs top musical talent from the Central Scotland scene: Bernadette Collier & Alice Leslie - backing vox; Fraser Speirs - harmonica; Jim Keilt - lead guitar, Alex Mack - banjo, mandolin, and lead guitar; Craig Nelson - alto sax; and Carl Esprit Bridgeman - bass guitar. Apple, Chrysalis Records, and the Kinks' managers showed interest in Bob's early work and his later songs have elicited high commendation from the the prestigious Billboard Song Contest. Top players Bob has worked with include: Andy Hamilton (sax player for multi-million-selling Canadian songwriter Corey Hart) Chris Glen and Ted McKenna (bass and drums, respectively, with the Sensational Alex Harvey Band) Colin Bass (bass player of seminal prog-rockers Camel) Dave Vasco (guitarist for Warner Brothers artists Clancy) Fraser Speirs (harmonica maestro with Paolo Nutini and Scots blues legend Tam White) Jim Keilt (virtuoso lead guitarist with John Otway and the London production of Tommy - the Musical) Kathy O'Donoghue (vocalist with, amongst others, Roger Chapman and Hank Wangford) Zeke Manyika (drummer for Scots chart-toppers Orange Juice)

Lyrics
My friends all said, “I told you so.” But I was glad to see you go You didn’t come home, didn’t call, I yanked your pictures off the wall. And put up someone’s you don’t know Guess I’m a bitter, spiteful soul Chorus: You won’t see me crying in my beer. If I never see your face again, I won’t shed another tear. I won’t be satisfied Until the coast is clear, There’s still far too much of you around here. I gave my Mom your mangy dog. Redecorated, changed the locks. They say it’s easier in time. I burned the clothes you left behind. That’s what my pride told me to do. I’ve made a big dent but I’m not through. Chorus: You won’t see me crying in my beer. If I never see your face again, I won’t shed another tear. I won’t be satisfied Until the coast is clear, There’s still far too much of you around here. Go on . . . Take your stuff away . . . Hope you’re barely getting by, The next-door neighbors drank your wine. A pity party, I won’t soon forget, Your burning records lit the night I leaned right in and took a light And then I smoked your last cigarette. Chorus: You won’t see me crying in my beer. If I never see your face again, I won’t shed another tear. I won’t be satisfied Until the coast is clear, There’s still far too much of you around here. Get lost . . .
