Long Distance Love - スウィート・リリーフ トリビュート・トゥ・ローウェル・ジョージ

The 25-song tracklist on this double LP is incredible—hearing Ben Harper and Elvis Costello each put their own spin on Lowell George's songs makes for a really thoughtful tribute. The vinyl itself plays cleanly with minimal surface noise, which is all I ask for from a new pressing.

I’ve been listening to this double LP all week and the track selection is fantastic—Ben Harper’s take on “Willin’” is really something special. The vinyl itself is quiet and well-pressed, no pops or crackles out of the sleeve.

I was hoping for a cohesive tribute album, but the 25 tracks feel a bit uneven in quality. The vinyl pressing is clean, though, and Elvis Costello’s cover is a definite highlight. It’s a decent listen if you’re a fan of Lowell George’s songwriting, but not essential.
