THE SAME THING COULD HAPPEN TO YOU by LAZY LESTER Story by Peter Crossing
Lazy Lester sang in a compelling, rough-hewn voice and played harmonica, guitar and various percussion devices. Not blues from the delta, not the electric blues of the big cities but blues with a looser feel.
DEAD END STREET by THE KINKS Story by Erin Bienvenu
