LAZY LESTER
with LIONEL PREVO, U.J. MEAUX, KATIE WEBSTER, RUFUS & MERT THIBODEAUX, etc.
Contrary to his colorful sobriquet, (supplied by prolific south Louisiana producer J.D. Miller), harpist Lazy Lester
swears he never was all that lethargic. But he seldom was in much of a hurry either, although the relentless
pace of his Excello Records swamp blues classics "I'm a Lover Not a Fighter"
and "I Hear You Knockin'" might contradict that statement, too.
While growing up outside of Baton Rouge, Leslie Johnson was influenced by Jimmy Reed and Little Walter.
But his entree into playing professionally arrived quite by accident: while riding on a bus sometime in the mid-'50s,
he met guitarist Lightnin' Slim, who was searching fruitlessly for an AWOL harpist.
The two's styles meshed seamlessly, and Lester became Slim's harpist of choice
"MADE UP MY MIND"
