"People, here I am again, now. I'm drinkin' with my friends. I drink wine like water, I might not live tomorrow." ~Devils Daughter 

 

 Lester is in fine form and feelin' good from first to last. A scorching version of "Devil's Daughter" opens with LB blowing his face off, as they say. And if you don't get the chills listening to "Black Hearted Woman" then there's no blood in your veins.

"Walked through the fire,
Back from the dead.
Black hearted woman,
went and stole him back again.
Man, you know that ain't right."

A very prophetic song as Lester Butler died of a drug overdose on May 9, 1998
