For an artist who first gained success as a songwriter and moved on to a stunning career with his band of renown Little Feat, the late great Lowell George continually proved to be a major force on the music scene for his short time on earth. His music transcended all genres of music styles, fusing rock, R&B, and folk landscapes with thought provoking and stellar lyrical content during his successful reign on the album and radio charts. After reaching very successful heights with Little Feat, Lowell decided it was time to record a solo album with 1979’s Thanks I’ll Eat It Here.
Thanks I’ll Eat It Here finds Lowell George groovin’ back to the earlier boogie and New Orleans rock and R&B feel found on his earlier Little Feat albums. Released a very short time before his untimely death, the album included his brilliant 20 Million Things, a funk infused Little Feat revisit with Two Trains, plus several inspiring collaborations with notable friends like Van Dyke Parks and Little Feat’s Fred Tackett, as well as significant cover versions like Allen Toussaint’s What Do You Want the Girl To Do, which the late artist truly made his own.
The all-star recording sessions included some of the finest talents and close friends like Bonnie Raitt, John David Souther, John Phillips, Jim Keltner, Nicky Hopkins (Quicksilver, Rolling Stones) David Foster, Floyd Sneed and Jimmy Greenspoon (Three Dog Night), David Paich and Jeff Porcaro (Toto), and of course a handful of the original Little Feat alumni like Richie Hayward, Fred Tackett, and Billy Payne.
