Wicked Lester - The Original Wicked Lester Sessions - "Long, Long Road" - 1972 - Pre KISS

[@tweackrastafari4874]

I heard this song on a cassette that a relative had, I liked it a lot, it took a long time for us to see each other again and he gave it to me He gave it as a birthday present and I still hold on to that tape with great appreciation. It has good rock and country songs.

"The best I can do is sometimes not good enough". And when "Wicked Lester" was not good enough, Paul and Gene left! Paul as a New York guy is not born to sing country/folk. He was born to rock! Born to be KISS 💋

[@smeyer9507]

I like it.

[@stephenpetrovich2383]

is this written by Paul? It says he was born in Illinois here in these lyrics...its amazing how good these recording are for being from 72.

[@andrewthemusicguy]

This is a sing that is just following trends from this era. He isn't from Illinois.

They were capable of the folk music type stuff, but I just don't think they would have survived as a band if they hadn't changed directions and became who they were

[@yungftak3000]

Sounds like they were emulating The Band on this track.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

The harmonica reminds of Bob Dylan.

[@BadWolf762]

Without Peter and Ace it's just another wanna be band.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

Probably the numerous bands where Ace and Peter played before sounded similar.

[@andrewthemusicguy]

You see, this is Wicked Lester. They were Pre KISS, Ace wasn't in it and Peter was in it for like a couple months but never recorded anything. So your wrong.

[@patryck693]

So with Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr is a wanna be band? Stupid comment
