On June 15, 1979, George began a tour in support of his solo album. On June 29, 1979, the morning after an appearance at Washington, D.C.'s Lisner Auditorium where the bulk of Waiting for Columbus had been recorded, George collapsed and died of a heart attack in his Arlington, Virginia, hotel room at the Twin Bridges Marriott. His heart attack was caused by an accidental drug overdose. George's body was cremated in Washington, D.C., on August 2. His ashes were flown back to Los Angeles, where they were scattered from his fishing boat into the Pacific Ocean. (Wiki)
Another of my musical gods...I still miss this guy...One of my lasting heroes...The coolest Slide player around...a wonderful voice...a true R & R songwriter and poet...I have all the original vinyl and the cds and wish there was more !
I put together these compilations some years ago, just for me ...(called it Miscellany but thought Lowell would prefer Miss Ellany !)...using a Yamaha digital recorder ...Most of the tracks come from my own cd collection with some downloads... Lowell here with Little Feat in a live setting, solo and guest appearances with some classy artists. - His Slide solos on Jackson Browne's 'Your Bright Baby Blues' are bliss...for me...even his understated backing vocal on the same track is perfect...The Chico Hamilton tracks on M2 are little more than jams...but reflect the experimental times...And here with Robert Palmer (his finest hours)...from his earliest solo albums with The Meters plus Lowell and Little Feat ! - Gus
Oh I am just a vagabond, a drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity, it rolls right off my tongue...
