"Roll Um Easy" - Little Feat - Cover - Part 11 "Open Tuning Songs"

This week’s song, “Roll Um Easy” is part 11 of my new video series, “Open Tuning Songs”. The original Lowell George arrangement was played in Open A tuning. For this new arrangement I decided to switch to Open D tuning and slow down the tempo. Open D tuning really gives an opportunity to bring out the kind of haunting melody and slowing down the tempo allows a focus on the incredible lyrics. Lowell George was an outstanding songwriter, known for such classics as “Willin’” “Sailin’ Shoes” and “ Dixie Chicken”. “Roll Um Easy” is a little more obscure cut off the "Dixie Chicken" Album, and is my favorite Lowell George song. (I even pulled out my vintage Little Feat hat to record the video. :). With “Roll Um Easy” Lowell goes way beyond any normal song structure and creates a beautiful piece of music supporting not just song lyrics, but free flowing poetry. This song has been covered by groups ranging from Linda Ronstadt and JD Souther to Glen Campbell and the Black Crows. Enjoy, Thomas
