    onbe of the most beautiful songs ever written.
    I had a mentor in music - with so much natural blues skills - who happened to be a truck driver until his back problems forced him to give it up. He died at the age of 40 of a stroke in in the shower one early morning. I played this song on the church organ at his funeral.
    We used to perform this song as a duo.
    His death is now not quite 30 years ago.
    I cannot listen to this song without crying.

    He must have known or spoke with a old school trucker. I don't mean the dude that delivers pepsi locally either. I mean a coast to coast old school outlaw who was on the level. This tune embodies what trucking was to me 28 yrs and 3 million miles ago. Those times and most of those drivers are long gone but damn... the memories of the characters I met, the things I have seen, and the adventures we had live forever. It was back when the only one watching you was God. Gimmie some weed, whites n wine n show me a sign bc Im still willin' to be movin. Keep the shiny side up for all you old hands still gettin' it done.

I went into a store to cash my paycheck and saw a Rolling Stone cover in memoriam and I was stunned. I miss that band very much to this day. Truly a band of first rate high caliber musicians, each of them. Thanks for the post.

    I saw Feat for the first time in 1978 at the Shrine Auditorium in LA. My brother in law had been a Feat Freak for years before, had turned my sister, and my brother on to them. After coming home from overseas, we all went, and it was absolutely amazing. The following year when he went on his solo tour, he was scheduled for five performances, and we had tickets for all five shows. But a week before, I got a call from my brother in law, telling me he had died of an overdose. We were all so devastated. When Feat got back together again, I’ve seen them about four or five times. And they were still good. But it has never been the same. For anyone who doesn’t know, or doesn’t get it, you’ll never know how good they were back then. Music just isn’t the same, and not near as good as it was in the 70’s.

    Feats Don’t Fail Me Now!! and Lowell George never failed me. Concert at the Orpheum Theater in Boston in ‘77 was called “the best indoor concert in Boston ever” and they were right!! I know because I was there, looking at him play that guitar in his own unique style; like a magic boulder streaming out music from above

    We saw Little Feat open for Marshall Tucker and Skynyrd at Winterland in San Francisco. Lowell was at the top of his game, and they did most of the songs on Waiting for Columbus. They were on fire and just smoked, we left after their set as we understood instinctively the following two bands could never match what we had just witnessed..

      I'll always believe that of all the great music that came out of the bay area (predominantly) during that era, and understand that I am a true tie-dyed in the (weed) wool deadhead... little feat very easily was the best of a great bunch. I'll take the weed, white's and wine gladly... trust me you've shown me a sign... and I'll always be willin'... to keep listening.

    Love him and his sound. Linda Ronstadt and Lowell were a deep moment in musical time. They sang this together at WHFS radio many moons ago ( you can find it on UA-cam). "When I met him he seemed to still carry a torch for her". Love her version at Lowell's memorial. Sad ending.
