Singer/songwriter combining the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something
Lester is a singer/songwriter who's lyrical style has been described as "throwing a bucket of paint at a wall to see what happens." In reality, his songs are bluesy and his lyrics paint interesting pictures with unique turns of phrase. He combines the imagery of Bob Dylan's lyrics with B.B. King guitar playing, Neil Young's harmonica, and a Johnny Cash voice to create something that might be called CountryBluesFolkRock. Originally from Maine, Lester currently lives with his wife, two kids and four cats in the middle of Florida, which is exactly like Maine... just a hell of a lot warmer.

Story behind the song
Since I like a lot of different styles of music, it is sometimes hard for me to settle down and write a song unless I base it on antoher one. I usually listen to the local college station for inspiration, and it gets me headed down the right path. This song started out to be in the style of "Star Witness" from Neko Case. It didn't wind up a damned thing like it (thank the copyright gods), but I thought I'd mention it anyway, because I love Neko Case.
Lyrics
I was drivin' all night out on I-95 When the radio played me a tune It reminded me of when I was young and alive I looked up and I cried at the moon The angels of the past are our devils today And we fall on our knees and we pray We worship the memories of yesterday's tears And keep all our scars on display And it cuts like a knife And it sears like the sun And it burns all our vision away Sometimes you can't whistle But you always can hum Everybody goes crazy some days And I'm fallin' down mysteriously drunken and tired And I'm fallin' again over you Sometimes the best things money really can buy If only for a minute or two And it cuts like a knife And it sears like a sun And it burns all your vision away Sometimes you can't whistle But you always can hum Everybody goes crazy some days Everybody goes crazy some days
