Tribute album on the way for one of my favorite guitarists, Lowell George. I love Little Feat and always feel like they’re kind of overlooked.

Plus Lowell was a member of the brotherhood!

Lowell is one of my favorites too. His hedonism got him: his last act was housing a large, loaded pizza by himself, probably drunk and high on cocaine.
I love Little Feat, but he was the best part of Little Feat to me in the same way that Jerry (another hedonist whose vices did him in prematurely) was the best part of the Grateful Dead. Feat’s best material for me was his sleazy swamp rock, and while they were still excellent as the rest of the band dragged the operation towards prog rock, I’ll always prefer Lowell. “Thanks, I’ll Eat It Here” was great and it’s a shame his solo career didn’t last longer.

@mclaincausey Waiting for Columbus has always been my favorite because it was such a showcase of how good they were live. My dad got to see them live a few times and still raves about it.
Also, didn’t know that about his last meal. Sounds right

@mclaincausey I was never a huge Grateful Dead fan but I got to see them live once with Jerry and it was insanely good for a lot of reasons. I’m going to write it up in the memorable concerts thread when I get around to it.

RIP Dickey Betts

Dickey wrote the best songs. RIP indeed.

@Matt More breakup songs. Broken hearts sell -- even if they're not really broken.
