Entertainment Weekly
[Little Feat founder Lowell] George's funk-inflected southern boogie and winsome country blues might have been a tad less traditional [but are] still as dependably satisfying as a plate of greasy barbecued ribs. . . .

A Fitting Tribute to a Slide Guitar Master
This CD is a wonderful tribute to a truly great slide guitar player. One needs just listen to Bonnie Raitt play the slide guitar to appreciate the influence that Lowell George had on his contemporaries. When David Lindley plays on Rocket in My Pocket I can almost close my eyes and imagine Lowell on stage. But when Lowell's daughter Inara sings Trouble, it almost makes me cry.
Randy Newman and Valerie Carter absolutely steal the show with a monster version of Sailin' Shoes. Wow.
Nice work all around. The highlight: Randy Newman and Valerie Carter just plain rip the roof right off the place with their version of Sailin' Shoes. A sonic wonder. Crank it up and listen to your walls shake.
He had 2 Degrees in Bebop, a PhD in Swing ...
Lowell was Da Man! Never got to see him in person but I never pass up anything associated with him. Get all the official Little Feat CDs (including their excellent and neglected post-Lowell George releases) and Thanks I'll Eat It Here before you get this, but get this anyway! It shows off George's brilliant songwriting in the hands of very sympathetic interpreters. I understand a Japanese version features Dr. John and others and includes the signature song Dixie Chicken, but you won't miss it. (There are plenty of covers of that one out there anyway.)
