DESCRIPTION TRACK LIST
Known first and foremost as the founding member and guitarist for Little Feat, by 1972 the band’s classic line-up were in place, with Lowell George (formerly with Frank Zappa’s Mothers Of Invention) centre stage.
After completing six studio albums with Little Feat, by 1977 Lowell felt they were moving increasingly into jazz-rock, a form in which he felt little interest. As a result, he began working on his own album. Thanks I'll Eat It Here is an eclectic mix of styles reminiscent of Little Feat's earlier albums – in particular Dixie Chicken, on which the track ‘Two Trains’ originally appeared.
On June 15, 1979, George began a tour in support of his aforementioned first solo album, but just 15 days later, on June 29, the morning after an appearance at Washington, D.C.'s Lisner Auditorium, where the bulk of Waiting for Columbus had been recorded in 1977, George collapsed and died of a heart attack in his Arlington, Virginia, hotel room at the Twin Bridges Marriott. His attack was caused by an accidental heroin overdose.
