Rock and Roll Doctor-Lowell George: Guitarist, Songwriter, and Founder of Little Feat
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The late Lowell George is best known as the lead singer, slide guitarist, songwriter, and producer of Little Feat, acclaimed in the '70s by the likes of Mick Jagger and Jimmy Page as their favourite band. George's offbeat sense of humour and surreal lyrics became a Little Feat trademark, making songs like 'Fat Man in the Bathtub' and 'Dixie Chicken' unforgettable. Rock and Roll Doctor explores the genius that animated Little Feat - from George's early bands The Standells and The Factory, to his work with Frank Zappa, landmark albums such as Feats Don't Fail Me Now and The Last Record Album, and his session and production work with the likes of Linda Ronstadt and The Grateful Dead. George's colourful childhood (he lived next door to Hollywood idol Errol Flynn) is here - as is his solo career after Little Feat that was cut short tragically. But most of this book portrays his highly productive period with this great rock and roll band. Each Little Feat album is dealt with in detail and the book examines the development of Lowell's classic songs - how they were conceived, recorded, and produced. The analysis of Little Feat's complex rhythms and Lowell's great music will fascinate musicians and fans alike.
