Lowell George - Thanks I'll Eat It Here (1979) {Warner Bros} 24-bit/96kHz Vinyl Rip plus Redbook CD Version

is the only solo album by the late rock and roll singer-songwriter Lowell George, leader of Little Feat. While George is best known for his work with Little Feat, by 1977 Lowell felt that they were moving increasingly into jazz-rock, a form in which he felt little interest. As a result, he began working on his own album. Thanks I'll Eat it Here is an eclectic mix of styles reminiscent of Little Feat's earlier albums - in particular , on which the track "Two Trains" originally appeared. The album was released just before the death of Lowell George in 1979 and has cover art by Neon Park (a feature of almost all Little Feat albums) containing several pop/cult references including a picnic scene, mirroring Edouard Manet's "Le déjeuner sur l'herbe", which shows Bob Dylan, Fidel Castro and Marlene Dietrich as Der Blaue Engel with an open copy of Howl beside them. allmusic 4.5/5 stars
