Middle class, suburban ghetto.
Lester was part of the Excello label crew that included Slim Harpo.
The Excello sound inspired The Rolling Stones (who covered a couple of Slim Harpo tunes) and was the driving force behind the sound that made Creedence Clearwater Revival famous.
Lester recently gained long overdue celebrity by starring in a GEICO commercial opposite a gecko, playing harmonica on the porch and constantly interrupting the gecko.
RIP
Lazy Lester, harmonica player and master of Louisiana swamp blues, dies at 85
