He is a songwriter. He is a vocalist and a guitarist. And he is quite a character. He is Don Lee

Lee blends the slick song craft of Squeeze and Brendan Benson with the raw energy of The Kinks and Joe Jackson. The result? His tunes overflow with melody, insight, and charm; they're quirky, dynamic, and simply sophistcated.

Fool To Even Care, released in 2011, follows Change Into Change (2007) and Signs And Other Symbols (2009) adding twelve new songs to Lee's arsenal and turns up the heat with it's brazen lyrics and more rock-oriented sound. Don Lee once again proves why he is recognized as a leader in his field.

Details:
"Fool To Even Care" is Don Lee's 3rd solo release following 2007's "Change Into Change" and 2009's "Signs And Other Symbols". The sound is a little harder, the lyrics a little more biting, and Lee always keeps his trademark memorable melodies and sense of simple sophistication packed into every cut.
