Lowell George may well be the most underrated and underappreciated figure in the history of rock ’n’ roll. As a writer, guitarist, singer, and producer, his influence spanned genres—rock, R&B, country, blues, and the adventurous rhythms of West Coast jazz—and seemed to know no bounds.Born and raised in Hollywood, California, George mastered multiple instruments at an early age. His prodigious talent soon caught the attention of Frank Zappa, leading to a stint with The Mothers of Invention. In 1969, after parting ways with Zappa, George formed Little Feat. With Zappa’s support, the band secured a deal with Warner Bros. Records and quickly became a musicians’ band, revered for its originality and virtuosity. Alongside George were standout players including keyboardist Bill Payne and drummer Richie Hayward, whose combined talents created a sound unlike any other.Though Little Feat were not immediate chart-toppers for Warner Bros., they inspired fervent loyalty among fans and deep respect from their peers. Over time, their innovative blend of styles found a wider audience, earning the group three gold albums and one platinum award. George’s songwriting left an indelible mark, yielding enduring classics such as “Willin’,” “Dixie Chicken,” and “Sailin’ Shoes.”Internal pressures ultimately led to the band’s breakup in 1979. George embarked on a solo career and released his only solo album, Thanks I’ll Eat It Here, on Warner Bros. Tragically, he passed away that same year at just 34 while touring in support of the album.It was inevitable that George’s musical friends and admirers would unite to honor his legacy. Originally released in Japan in 1997 (and in the U.S. the following year), Rock And Roll Doctor: Lowell George Tribute Ablum brought together some of the biggest names in music to celebrate his extraordinary gifts.Omnivore Recordings is proud to announce the first-ever vinyl release of Rock And Roll Doctor for Record Store Day.
