“I say this to anyone who will listen: LittleFeat belong in the Rock and Roll Hallof Fame!”: Joe Bonamassa pays tribute to Lowell George – and his legendary Dumble

Joe Bonamassa pays tribute to Lowell George – and his legendary Dumble; he plays a Gibson ES-335 and there is a wall of vintage amplifiers behind him.

Today, I’d like to talk about an unsung hero of rock and roll, the great Lowell George of Little Feat. This past summer, I was very lucky to have purchased his Dumble Overdrive Reverb amplifier. Its 4x12 cabinet came with Altec speakers, which I don’t normally like, but when I plugged in my Strat and played some slide through it, that sound that Little Feat fans know and love was there.

Lowell had his own fantastic slide style, in the realm of my other two slide guitar favorites, Ry Cooder and David Lindley. All three guitarists have similar traits, in regard to their overall sound and mastery of a crystal clear, melodic approach.
