How about some Little Feat this morning? From their criminally ignored first album (back when they saw themselves as an American version of the Stones) comes one of my favorite Lowell George tunes, “Truck Stop Girl”.
They recorded “Willin” for the first album, too, but George’s hand was hurt, so they brought Ry Cooder in to handle slide guitar. George really wanted to put his own stamp on the song, so they recorded it again for Sailin’ Shoes.

Awww yeah. That’s what I needed this morning. To quote the late Odell Bennet,”Shit man, we wuz raised on Lil Feat.”

Gregg Allman and Linda Ronstadt also do great versions of “Willin'”.

I was listening to Linda do “Willin'” from her 1980 HBO concert yesterday, man she could wail.

Agree w Gregg & Ronstadt (Bernie Leadon on the B-bender?), I prefer the Sailin’ Shoes version. None better than the Black Crowes version from their album Croweology.

LOVE Little Feat. Waiting For Columbus is one of the top 3 all-time great live albums. “You know that you’re over the hill when you’re mind makes a promise your body can’t fill.”

Oh to bring back those years, bulletproof, the hunter of endless nights, laughter, friends you thought you’d never lose only to find out “my mind makes promises my body can no longer keep”. Bless you Senator, those were the days my friend !

Truck Stop Girl always sounded like if Ben Folds was the frontman for the Stones.
