Rock and Roll Doctor: A Tribute to Lowell George

Entertainment Weekly
[Little Feat founder Lowell] George's funk-inflected southern boogie and winsome country blues might have been a tad less traditional [but are] still as dependably satisfying as a plate of greasy barbecued ribs. . . .

Customer Reviews:

He had 2 Degrees in Bebop, a PhD in Swing ..........2001-06-05

Lowell was Da Man! Never got to see him in person but I never pass up anything associated with him. Get all the official Little Feat CDs (including their excellent and neglected post-Lowell George releases) and Thanks I'll Eat It Here before you get this, but get this anyway! It shows off George's brilliant songwriting in the hands of very sympathetic interpreters. I understand a Japanese version features Dr. John and others and includes the signature song Dixie Chicken, but you won't miss it. (There are plenty of covers of that one out there anyway.)

Creative If Not Quite The Real Thing.......2001-04-22

This collection contains some fairly captivating versions of Lowell George's best songs. I do not know why Dixie Chicken was omitted from this collection. It was the signature Little Feat song during Lowell's time with the band. Spanish Moon has some funky and spiritual arrangements that make it kind of special. Inara George's interpretation of Trouble has some tender vocalizations. Bonnie Raitt accompanies Little Feat quite nicely on the riveting Cold Cold Cold. Its a shame that more well known artists did not pay tribute to this talented man. None the less most of the versions are pretty entertaining. Eddie Money's version of Rock N Roll Doctor is a little off kilter. None the less the result is good if not quite on the same level as hearing Little Feat's versions.

about time this was done.......1999-09-18

I have waited a long time for a Lowell George tribute album. I am very pleased this was finally done. If anyone may be interested, I have been writing tab music to all of Lowells songs. Just email me and ask about it. ..... redstrat@excite.com

A Fitting Tribute to a Slide Guitar Master.......1999-09-10

This CD is a wonderful tribute to a truly great slide guitar player. One needs just listen to Bonnie Raitt play the slide guitar to appreciate the influence that Lowell George had on his contemporaries. When David Lindley plays on Rocket in My Pocket I can almost close my eyes and imagine Lowell on stage. But when Lowell's daughter Inara sings Trouble, it almost makes me cry.

A Truly Inspired Tribute To a Master Songwriter.......1998-11-29

As others have said, this CD is a MUST for anyone who likes truly funky music. At the same time, it is a great example of the true influence of one of the true masters of songwriting. One of the things that impressed me most about this CD was the interlacing of Lowell's voice on a few songs. This is a shining example of the greatest songwriter in the business. Lowell is exactly that: a true master who died WAY too young. His influence will be felt for many years to come. This CD is an example of that...
