Lowell George, the late Little Feat leader and Frank Zappa sideman, is the focus of a new tribute compilation called Long Distance Love, which was put together by the Swee Relief Musicians Fund. That compilation is out today, and it includes contributions from Ben Harper, Bedouine, Jonathan Wilson, the Bird And The Bee, Gaby Moreno, and more.
