1970. Lowell George.
THE Little Feat classic and maybe the best truckin' song ever written.

thanks a lot brother for the support. Steve Earle does a magic take on this song too which maybe you've heard. Huge Earle fan right here...Beautiful playing and sang like you''ve lived it. Another great one!
Little Feat and the Ramones covers on the same day? You, my friend, are a Renaissance man!
thanks heaps Ted!Spiffing!!! Loved Lowell era little feat.
hey Tailgate, this one's a mainland baritone. Standard bari tuning is lowD, G, B, E...I have this tuned up a full step to 'A' tuning....basically so that when I'm playing a C shaped chord, it's actually and A chord with this tuning.what's your tuning on the uke? is that your new Martin?
he he...thanks Paul for the support...yeah, an unlikely combo for today brother for sure, thanks for watching mateJon -
Now I have to choose between this and "Wanna Be Sedated"! How can you you do this to me mate?!?!
thanks G...I only discovered Little Feat a few years back when Steve Earle did this on one of his records...so yeah, came in through the back door but I've been hooked ever since. Thanks for the historiography...that's pretty trippy, had no idea at all that Zappa was like that...sheesh, learn something new everyday. Thanks for the comment mateMy favorite Lowell George song! You absolutely nailed it!!!
Did you know that Lowell said he was fired from the Mother's of Invention for writing this song? (Frank had a strict no drugs policy)
I discovered the genius of Lowell George through Linda Ronstadt's cover of this song on her 1974 album, Heart Like A Wheel. You took a great song and made it your own, no small feat.

ha! Thanks Jim!Little Feat and the Ramones covers on the same day? You, my friend, are a Renaissance man!
thanks you guys. great to see you back on the boards! I agree, this one is great for the baritone, gives it the little bit more guts and oomph that it needs...True! I prefer the Little Feat, very sensitive singing, just perfect for the song and the baritone uke!

same here Peter, that's when I first learnt it. Guitars are pretty redundant round here these days though...I detect a substance abuse theme...
I used to play Willlin' on my "6 string super Baritone", gotta add it back to the repertoire.
Lovely work Jon, that one belongs right up on the top shelf.
