Amazon.com Lazy Lester's laid-back, swamp-blues groove requires more patience than most raised-on-rock musicians can muster. Fortunately, the Louisiana bluesman has found a second home at Austin's Antone's, where house producer-guitarist Derek O'Brien and a couple of former Fabulous Thunderbirds--guitarist Jimmie Vaughan and drummer Mike Buck--help lovingly renew the sound that Lester and Excello labelmate Slim Harpo forged during the 1960s. (The T-Birds helped revive interest in Lester when they covered his "Sugar Coated Love.") Highlights range from Harpo's salacious "I'm Your Breadmaker, Baby" (a close cousin to his "Baby, Scratch My Back") to the definitive shuffle of "Gonna Stick to You Baby" to the simmering "Sad City Blues," with Sue Foley on guest guitar. "No Special Rider" presents Lester as an acoustic one-man-band, while "Ya Ya" romps through Lee Dorsey's New Orleans classic. Lester makes his harmonica chirp, whistle, and wheeze, but his laconic vocals never break a sweat. --Don McLeese Similar CDs

CD ReviewsPass! deepbluereview | SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA USA | 10/23/2001 (3 out of 5 stars) "The promotion for this CD screams "Jimmie Vaughan on ALL tracks". I suppose that should tip one off that the marketers are not pushing Lazy Lester, as much as they are banking on the impeccable Vaughan to carry sales. In actuality, Vaughan plays on all tracks except, "No Special Rider", "They Call Me Lazy" and "Sad City Blues" with Sue Foley guest starring on "Sad City Blues". The Vaughan connection goes back to the 80's when, Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds discovered and loosely covered Lester's "Sugar Coated Love" and "I Hear You Knocking", tracked Lester down and coaxed him out of retirement. 4 post-retirement CD's later and after listening to this rather lackluster performance, it may have been better to let Lester go fishing." Lot's of great harmonica playing. Dennis Riendeau | Hudson, NH USA | 05/17/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "I am not familiar with Lazy Lester's previous recordings but I think this CD is great. The harmonica playing is great and, though there aren't a lot of guitar solos, Jimmy sounds great too. If you love the harmonica or you are a big Jimmy Vaughan fan I think this album is a must have." Great Swamp Blues Album Dave McShea | Seattle, WA USA | 01/10/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a great swamp blues album, with an infectious groove. Lazy Lester has an incredible style all his own, and you will find this CD ends up in heavy rotation when you are looking for funky blues."
