Lazy Lester is a Blues act. Their sound grew out of Jimmie Vaughan, Lightnin' Hopkins and Slim Harpo. Those roots explain a lot about how Lazy Lester arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Slim Harpo, Roy Buchanan, Little Walter, Michael Burks and Guitar Slim, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Aerosmith, Dr. John, John Fogerty, Kenny Neal and Kim Wilson, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
