Description

Lazy Lester – True Blues – Excello LP 8006 SO-1

His original album collects the best of the early Excello sides. Includes "Sugar Coated Love," "I Hear You Knockin', " and "I'm a Lover, Not a Fighter."

This is from my personal record collection.

Cover is mint and vinyl plays mint- (M-)

While growing up outside of Baton Rouge, Leslie Johnson was influenced by Jimmy Reed and Little Walter. But he started playing professionally by accident: while riding on a bus sometime in the mid-'50s, he met guitarist Lightnin' Slim, who was looking for his AWOL harpist. The two's styles meshed seamlessly, and Lester became Slim's harpist of choice. In 1956, Lester stepped out front at Miller's Crowley, Louisiana studios for the first time. During an extended stint at Excello that stretched into 1965, he waxed such gems as "Sugar Coated Love," "If You Think I've Lost You," and "The Same Thing Could Happen to You." Lester proved invaluable as an imaginative sideman for Miller, utilizing everything from cardboard boxes and claves to whacking on newspapers in order to locate the correct percussive sound for the producer's output.
