Chris
Chester sings Bob Dylan
Lp 2017
…
"13 folk-rock covers of the famous Minnesota - New York City beat
poet. This fourth album sounds like good american music alot with
a point of sarcasm and a the best of humor. We can say that Chris
Chester like the author reveals himself subconsciously in his
writings and his music. Talent is talking loud and singing too
with a guitar and an harmonica"...

Myself & I...
Lp 2014
... "Today, Chris keeps offering songs with a view over the Piccadilly
Circus Fountain, circa 1968… futhermore, this third album will please
friends of alley cats, one of them having made Chris’s throat his
home. A scarred and defiant tomcat, able to either mew awry or purr
upon fireside ballads"...

ballad as we wish all poor believing talented. A great discovery!
