Before I stopped listening in the late 70's, they had 2 distinct phases: southern rock and jazz-funk. As manifested above. I really liked the jazz-funk phase, but the founder, Lowell George, really did not want the band to go in that direction.
The band in various permutations has recorded as recently as 2012.
Here's a recording that was an amalgamation, and my favorite by them:
Red Streamliner

music by Bill Payne
-- lyrics by Bill Payne and Fran Tate
Red streamliner rollin'
rollin' down the track the things you see
With your wheels in motion through desert, mountain, ocean
I hear you every night, is it a dream?
Red streamliner rollin' down, comin' down on me
Red streamliner rollin', rollin' long so free
Your past keeps comin' back on me
To far and near, away from here
Where people move a mile a minute
This hurricane livin' with you and me in it
Long into the night, that whistle offers light
Red streamliner rollin'
I wish you'd tell me 'bout the things you see
I'm lookin', lookin' down the tracks you ride
Knowin' that they're your only guide
I see them every night, is it a dream?
And when the sidewalks roll up at night
Just as stations pass by
Once the leader of the wild, wild west
Hurricane livin' been a lifelong song
Now you're cast of steel and cast aside
Broken dreams maybe, but you haven't died

I so wish this had better sound. It's really best at high volume, to hear all the nuance.
