Lee Dresser

Lee Dresser was a London band that formed in 1965, with Lee Dresser himself on vocals and guitar alongside John Smith on bass and Mark Jones on drums. Their debut single 'Yesterday' became an underground hit, and they released an album of the same name in 1967. The group put out two more records, 1969's 'Lost in Time' and 1971's 'The Final Hour', before calling it a day.

Their sound drew from folk and blues, with some psychedelic touches. The music had a raw, emotional quality, and Dresser's lyrics often dealt with introspective themes. While they found an audience, their unconventional approach meant they never broke through to the mainstream.

Dresser, the frontman, was known to have a difficult personal life, with struggles that sometimes affected the band's work. The group's story is more about the music they left behind than any dramatic rise and fall.
