Lazy Farmer is the 1975 album by British folk rock group Lazy Farmer. This short-lived group consisted of pioneer British folk musician Wizz Jones, his wife Sandy Jones, John Bidwell and Jake Walton. The album was dedicated to American banjo player John Burke, whose book "Fiddle Tunes for the Banjo" inspired the formation of Lazy Farmer. The album was recorded at Conny Plank's countryside studio in Cologne, Germany.
