Most noted for the presence of guitarist-singer <a href="spotify:artist:4mW0YaaFLIMy521Hg3kjmG">Wizz Jones</a>, a longtime staple of the English folk scene, Lazy Farmer managed to record one rare, German-only LP in the mid-'70s during their brief existence. The band came together in 1973 in Cornwall, England, with <a href="spotify:artist:4mW0YaaFLIMy521Hg3kjmG">Jones</a>, his banjo-playing wife Sandy Jones, multi-instrumentalist John Bidwell (who'd been part of <a href="spotify:artist:6lM1vKg2RpnXYFBspBnu7C">C.O.B.</a> with ex-<a href="spotify:artist:0tQzBYPjAardhWpGkqVdNW">Incredible String Band</a> member <a href="spotify:artist:0iMvnExGpmvZeFr3n4gB0H">Clive Palmer</a>), and Bidwell's flatmate and fellow multi-instrumentalist <a href="spotify:artist:0kueo40W5kuNn1hcsM9wIv">Jake Walton</a>. After doing some gigging in Cornwall, they were joined by another banjo player, Don Coging, and played on four tracks on <a href="spotify:artist:4mW0YaaFLIMy521Hg3kjmG">Wizz Jones</a>' 1973 solo album When I Leave Berlin. <a href="spotify:artist:4mW0YaaFLIMy521Hg3kjmG">Jones</a> was doing a lot of touring in Germany at the time, and his German manager got Lazy Farmer a record deal with the German EMI subsidiary Songbird. Recorded near Cologne, Germany, in January 1975, their self-titled LP was accomplished if standard 1970s British folk, largely devoted to traditional material, although a song each by <a href="spotify:artist:4mW0YaaFLIMy521Hg3kjmG">Wizz Jones</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:6uQnHzEj8hj0UZCKjBvTaG">Ralph McTell</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:0dcbZPNrE1zejMbLyUKxqd">Derroll Adams</a> was included. After a German tour in 1975, the band broke up, though their album was restored to wide availability with a CD reissue in 2005. ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi
