About
Lazy Lester is a harmonica-playing blues crooner who wears a beat-up cowboy hat and a perpetual smile. He's been churning out swampy tunes with the pulsing energy of his native Louisiana since the mid-1950s. Lester's music is rooted in the steady-rollin' style of Jimmy Reed and Slim Harpo, employing similar rhythms in infectious songs, often backed by a full band. With his gritty singing and a baying-bloodhound harp style, Lazy Lester is great to listen to when you been drankin' bourbon for who knows how many days straight and that damn woman is gawn agin.
