October 31st, 2001 • INTERVIEW:From The Show: Lazy Lester / Randy WestonLazy Lester was born Leslie Johnson near Baton Rouge in 1933. He grew up loving country music and the blues, a mix that led to a new sound of "swamp blues" in the 1950s. Lester looks back on his years helping to forge that sound as right-hand man to J.D. Miller, a white studio owner in Crowley, LA, playing guitar, percussion, and harmonica in many sessions for performers like Slim Harpo and Lightenin' Slim.
