The late Lowell George (of Little Feat fame) is my favourite singer and guitar player, and one of my favourite songwriters ever. This was his only solo record, and while it has good songs on it, it also shows that by this time (1978) his creative forces had begun to decline.
The album has only four songs which George has written/co-written, and even the song in which he is the only writer (Two Trains) is just a new version of the old Little Feat song (it's fine, but there's nothing wrong with the original!)
Having said that, this is a very good - albeit short - collection of songs, and Lowell George's voice (which never sounded better) is simply honey to my ears.
The album is surprisingly vocal-oriented, and there's not much George's trademark slide guitar playing, but it's ok; I like his singing even more.
Lowell George was a great musician, and this record shows some of his genius, but it really could have been so much more. It is still worth a purchase, though.

This is a great solo album from the Little feat main man.Lowell sounds as if he's enjoying himself!The album opens with the Allen Toussaint song "What do you want the girl to do" driven along by the horn section."Honest man"is a good funky number again with a horn section."Two trains "is a different version to the little Feat song."Can't stand the rain" has got plenty of soul and there's some good slide guitar from Lowell.A couple of fine ballads "20 million things" and "Find a river" and a couple of fun songs "Cheek to cheek" and "Himmler's ring"
An excellent, makes you feel good, lots of soul album

I came accoss this album about 6 or 7 years ago and it still remains one of my favourites (I don't mind admitting that I like to sing ' Easy Money' in the bath ;o)
Those looking for an album similar to those he made with Little Feat will get a surprise as it is not his usual style but I'm sure they'll still love it, one easy comparrison is 'Two Trains' that is a lot more punchy and soulful than the Little Feat original.
It's hard not to like this album as has been said before, he seems to be really enjoying himself.
What can I say but, buy it now!

Why buy a CD
I brought this cd because of one track, "cheek to cheek" and it's worth it for that alone.
If it did not have this track on here I would not have purchased it

Buy this album, if only for "20 million things" which is the most beautiful whimsical ode to love and how it makes you feel. Read more

Genius and Whimsy in Lowell's Swansong
On what was to be his only solo album, Lowell George tried, in the main succesfully, to branch out from the shuffling, slide-guitar led music of Little Feat. Read more
