This third release from singer/songwriter Harry Lester contains ten contemporary/folk songs that put us in the heart of the characters who's stories they tell. The title track is a song about two young girls with XP (a disease that keeps them out of the sunlight). "Never Had Time" tells the story of a wealthy owner of a castle who rediscovers life after losing everything he owns. Lester gives us catchy melodies that wrap themselves around the lyrics.

One great CD

"We saw Harry just last week as he performed in a small cafe. He's just fabulous, possibly sounding even better than on the CD. This is one great CD. Well worth purchasing!"
Sounds like a contemporary James Taylor

"Harry has a winner. There's a reason that Harry is repeatedly invited to sing at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. This CD blends the vocal quality of James Taylor with the storytelling of Harry Chapin. Harry's music has a unique quality that is easy to listen to and tells stories that we all can relate to. The mixing of the music from the cello in the title track of "Not a Cloud in Sight" to the banjo in "River Song" make this a delight to listen to. Harry's vocals are right on the money and talk directly to you in "Amber's Flower" and "Hobo's Heart". If you like the style of James Taylor, you'll love Harry Lester."
Quality! A must for your CD collection

"Harry Lester has a winner! His style, lyrics, and voice leave you renewed and refreshed. Folks, this is a #1. Hear it for yourself. By the way, his live performances are just as good. Get on his mailing list and hear him live!"
