About the Artist
Lester Norton was born in the frigid wilderness of Maine. Bangor to be exact. It's smack in the middle of the state, which means it's in the middle of nowhere (as opposed to the coast of nowhere or the southeastern corner of nowhere.) While you may have heard it mispronounced by the late, great Roger Miller in his song "King of the Road", it's BangOR, not BangER. (People from Bangor are still pretty sore about that, let me tell you.) When you grow up with that kind of chip on your shoulder, you have to find a creative outlet for it. Otherwise, you'll wind up knocking over a liquor store for quarters to feed your Asteroids obsession or explosively decompressing in the middle of a meeting with clients, and there goes 20 years of hard work as a research assistant for the owner of the largest lobster pound in New England. So, he took up music and formed a band. Curse you, Roger Miller. Now, you might think that someone who shared a home town with Stephen King for so many years might be tempted to write songs about vampires and undead cats. But he'd like to leave that sort of thing to Jewel. His songs are more akin to those paintings that you see where the artist picks up a pail of whatever's handy and throws it at the wall. There are some pretty nifty patterns that show up when you chuck a bucket and see what sticks. Lester's bucket chucking is set to music is all. Lester currently reside with his wife, two kids and four cats in the middle of Florida, which is almost as nowhere as Maine, just a hell of a lot warmer.
Product Description
"Like Sailors Do" is bluesrockcountryfolk. It contains some nifty hooks and some interesting lyrics that will be fun for the whole family. You'll hear a little Neil Young, some Warren Zevon, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, a little folk, a little country, a little blues, and a little rock 'n' roll. But mostly it's Lester Norton and his unique blend of all of the above.
