Lazy Lester new album, recorded entirely live in June 2010 in Antequera, edited by Cambayá Records and produced by Mike Vernon. Exclusively by Garito of Blues Radio.

Leslie Johnson, known as Lazy Lester (Torras, La., June 20, 1933), is a well knonw singer and harmonica swamp blues player, with a career spanning over half a century. In the beginning he worked as a session musician in some works of Slim Harpo, Lightnin ‘Slim, and Katie Webster. Author of some classics, like “I’m a Lover Not a Fighter”, “I Hear You Knockin ‘,” Sugar-Coated Love “and” Bloodstains on the Wall. ” his themes have been interpreted, among others, by The Kinks, Freddy Fender, Dwight Yoakam, Dave Edmunds, Raful Neal, Anson Funderburgh and The Fabulous Thunderbirds. Lester recently moved to Paradise, California to be with his girlfriend, Pike. 

He regularly performs both as a solo artist (with acoustic guitar, rack harmonica and foot percussion) and as the front man with a band, playing either harmonica or guitar. He knows more jokes than many comedians, and he’ll almost always include a few in his performances. Talk to him off stage, and he’ll tell you quite a few more. He’s just one of the guys and goes about his business without any pretense or ego, always accessible to his fans. You’d be well advised to see him when he hits your town.

Lazy Is currently touring and performing his songs, receiving honors for his status as one of the last  blues legends.
