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.

Summary: "Did not keep my attention"
This book just didn't keep my attention. I set it down after two or three chapters and didn't pick it up again. It's more about how they came up with the songs and the music and less about the band. If you are an avid musician and/or song writer you may love it. But I just listen to the music and like the stories of the band. I've read other books about Nirvana, the Doors, and the Grateful Dead and loved them. But I couldn't really get in to this one. I actually just boxed it up over the weekend and put it in the attic. Maybe I'll give it a try later. Maybe not.

Summary: "on my top-5 list of My favorite rock and roll slide-players"
Enjoyable book, well-written. I learned somethings about Lowell that I didn't know before. And I thought I knew a lot already!
If you're a fan of Lowell George, I highly recommend it.

Summary: "Biography of George needs more substance..."
Mark Brend's biography of Lowell George gives a mishmash about his life and an analysis of his music. Although it's written in what amounts to an academic style, the book is a fairly quick read that touches on important points in George's life. The book should have concentrated as much on George's life as his music giving equal weight to both. His childhood is given the most short shift in the book but this along with the booklet from the Little Feat anthology give fans enough facts to understand something of the conflict going on in the band and to a lesser extent within George himself.
What's missing, however, is an examination of what led George to the self destructive behavior that ultimate caused him to meet an untimely death from a heart attack at age 33. Brend uses older interviews with George as well as new ones conducted with those that knew George from his fellow band members in Little Feat to his early collaborators, to try and give us a good portrait of the lead vocalist/slide player/songwriter and his contribution to music. We don't, however, truly get much insight into what motivated George as a person. Also missing is an indepth examination of the often conflicted recording sessions for the major Little Feat albums.
We do get a healthy selection of albums that George produced and/or played on by other artists. This often includes albums where George is rumored to have played on them but without any solid proof. Brend's insight as a musician is valuable in understanding what made George's songs so unique and why his vision of Little Feat was so important.
Although Little Feat isn't as well remembered as other 70's icons, their music which embraced a variety of styles makes them one of the outstanding bands of the 70's. They might not have hade the audience of The Eagles, Led Zep or The Stones (the latter two bands were huge admirers of George and Little Feat), but their terrific music is well worth tracking down and listening to.

Summary: "Lowell would laugh at this one..."
I was a friend of Lowell's.
I found this book extremely disappointing. It seems as if the author did some online research and talked to a couple of people that knew the band.
The claim of providing insight into the origination of the songs was almost completely bogus.
Even worse was the lack of factual and personal information about Lowell himself. Shoot, if I described the time we spent together and recalled the stories he told me you would have a much better idea as to who he was.
I agree with the person that wrote that it is better than nothing, but not by much. Lowell deserves a documentary on film and it is my intent to make one, if it's the last thing I do
Lastly, I was with Lowell when he wrote "Kokomo". The song happens to be about me. I never had much of a poker face and Lowell would often laugh at my expressions. He also liked my perfume and knew that I was a friend with many other musicians at the time. Regardless, he knew that he was my best friend and that my loyalty was to him and him alone.
He was the best man I've ever known. He had an incredible sense of humor. He was a man of honor and integrity. The wheels were always turning inside his brilliant mind. He read Scientific American Magazine in his spare time and listened to "World Music" before it was even coined as that.
He had an amazing amount of charisma and it was interesting to watch both men and women compete for his attentions. Most anyone that came in contact with him was drawn to him.
He was that kind of guy. He was generous and kind, talented and humble. Exuding an absolutely magnetic and magical energy to those around him.
It's a real shame that no one realized how sick he was before he went on the road in 1979'. When I saw pictures of him taken a month before he died, I cried. Shaking my head in wonder that those close to him could not see in his face that he was not well. It seemed so obvious, especially when I compared those pictures to ones taken of him 6 months earlier.
But sometimes we don't see that which is right in front of us.
I promise my documentary will provide considerable more insight, into this amazing and talented individual.
I know the band as well and when I contacted them about being involved in his documentary they did not respond. So, sadly they may choose to remain silent. But many of his other friends will be glad to contribute to this project.
