Rock and Roll Doctor
-- Lowell George, Martin Kibbee
There was a woman in Georgia didn't feel just right
She had the fever all day and chills at night
Now things got worse, yes a serious bind
At times like this it takes a man with style I cannot often find
A doctor of the heart and a doctor of mind
If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice
It's just a country town but patients come
From Mobile to Moline from miles around
Nagodoches to New Orleans
In beat-up old cars or in limousines
To meet the doctor of soul, he's got his very own thing
Two degrees in be-bop, a PHD in swing
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king
If you like country with a boogie beat he's the man to meet (he's the man to meet)
If you like the sound of shufflin' feet he can't be beat (I say he can't be beat)
If you... If you wanna
If you wanna feel real nice, just ask the Rock and Roll doctor's advice
Could a dude possibly EVER look more cool than Lowell George during this performance? It’s impossible.
He was the king. My absolute favorite musician.
Two degrees in be-bop, a PhD in swing,
He's the master of rhythm he's a rock and roll king.
The perfect description of Lowell.
Wow Jack, thanks for that, I get to that point and scat! lol Man, I miss that guy.
Amen brother.
Lowell was such a phenomenal guitarist. Saw Feat at the Shrine Auditorium in LA in 1978 from the eighth row. Those were the days before Ticketmaster. Staying in line for tickets. A long line of Feat freaks. Those were the best days.
Very cool....I can picture that experience !
Exquisite? Sublime? Whatever fancy word you want to use it’s badass
Lowell George is the rock n roll doctor
💯
It's taken me a while to come around, but I think I finally get it with these guys. What a unique sound. Also this song is a tribute to Dr.John, unless I'm mistaken. Anybody who pays tribute to him is alright in my book!
@@mattpeckham667 Dr John is a good guess. What about Allen Toussaint?
@@redmiller1 I could see that too. Either one !
Raise your Sears Roebuck 11/16th sockets in honor 🤘
Fuck this is good.
Damn, that's good.
Lowell, I love ya, and I'm eating a whole pizza in your honor...
This music is the best medicine in the World ! Book your appointment with the rock n roll doctor !
Funkolicious indeed! I can't stop my leg groovin'
“Two degrees in Bebop, a PHD in Swing…”
Awesome band!! I miss them and Lowell !! Thanks for the post !!
Wow, Lowell's really singing great here! Instrumental work not too shabby, either.
....2023 and we've lost so many members of the FEAT.........may they all R.I.P.......
Fairly funky...
Words fail me. Exquisite?
Legendary
AWESOME
There are very very few songs ever written that come so close to perfection as does this song.
So sad about L.G.
Sound quality on this is excellent. There's a real spatial quality...at least as I sit at my desk with stereo speakers and subwoofer.
Thanks! I typically do a little remastering for the channel videos.
@@redmiller1 Sounds great. Lowell's voice is underrated just like the whole band was.
Yep, my all time favorite band.
I lived in D.C.during this time period (including the "Lisnrr Auditorium shows in W 4 C.)
So saw them 2 or 3 times a year, there or at Warner Theater
Nice. Those must have been amazing shows!
@@redmiller1 oh yeah. Lots great music, both touring, and local.
Danny Gatton & The Nighthawks were local. So after Feat we'd head over to Georgetown to catch yhem
Can someone tell me about Martin Kibbee? I looked up where he co-wrote Dixie Chicken and Rock and Roll Doctor. These are two of LF's best songs, but it hit me that he hasn't been heard from or little is known about his life and association with LF and Lowell George. I'd love to know.
I'm a Feat Lifer, no matter how much the music changes, I still come back to Little Feat for great funk.
Interesting question. I have not met Mr. Kibbee, but a quick Google search suggests he was a childhood friend of Lowell. He played in Lowell’s band the Factory, and he may also have played in Fraternity of Man. There appears to be a Martin Kibbee interview in issue #12 of FeatPrints (Summer 1996) ripbang.com/FeatPrints/
@@redmiller1 Thanks I'll follow up on those leads and see what's up with him. Seems odd that he co-wrote some great songs and really hasn't been recognized. I've always thought R&R Doctor was one of the greatest songs ever written.
All I can say is wow ….. pure genius that will never ever be repeated
It takes a man of some style like getting oil off a vine! ❤
It takes a man with a style I cannot often find
No tricks. Just genius.
They did this live in Holland. Incredible version !!! Check it out.
Oh man , I remember this on WLIR Radio . Great Memories.
The best !
Great..Lowell George.
