Rock and Roll Doctor: Lowell George Tribute Album | Various Artists

Description

Cover Notes: 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. 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 reissue of this long out-of-print, this special edition features 15 standout tracks from Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Randy Newman, JD Souther, Eddie Money, and George’s daughter Inara George in collaboration with Van Dyke Parks. It also includes a previously unissued rendition of George’s signature song ‘Willin’, recorded by Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris featuring Inara George.
