After the band broke up, Rob Walker enlisted in the Air Force Band of New England, Pease Air Force Base, New Hampshire. He is still in service, currently stationed in Active Duty with the Band of the US Air Force Reserve at Robins Air Force Base. He has performed with many great musicians as a result, including pianist Kevin Joseph Barnett (Kevin J. Barnett).
Mike Causey can still be seen playing around Warner Robins. Al Scarborough plays bass with a band called The Wall in Warner Robins and Macon Ga. Rob Walker occasionally drops in to play with The Wall too. David Heck currently lives and performs in Denver, CO. Bob Spearman, who also played with The Wall, died of cancer. - wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stillwater_(band)).
=============================================================
Cameron Crowe's 2000 movie, Almost Famous, left some wondering if Stillwater was a real band or not. The answer is yes, but the band featured in the movie was completely fictional and based on several groups that Crowe covered for Rolling Stone during the early '70s (namely the Eagles and Led Zeppelin, among others). The 'real' Stillwater was an obscure multi-membered southern rock, that featured a triple guitar team of Mike Causey (guitar), Bobby Golden (guitar, vocals), and Rob Walker (guitar), plus Jimmy Hall (vocals, percussion), Allison Scarborough (bass, vocals), Bob Spearman (keyboards, vocals), and Sebie Lacey (drums). Originally formed in Georgia during 1973, Stillwater issued only a pair of albums during the late '70s - 1977's self titled debut and 1979's I Reserve the Right! - and narrowly missed scoring a top 40 hit single with the track "Mind Bender." Between the near-hit single and steady opening gigs for the Atlanta Rhythm Section and the Charlie Daniels Band (the latter of which was riding high at the time with their monster crossover hit "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"), Stillwater seemed to be on the right track for breakthrough success. But when their record label, Capricorn Records, hit upon hard times, Stillwater found themselves without a label, and broke up soonafter. 1997 saw several live tracks from 1978 included on the Alive Down South multi-artist collection, which was followed by a Stillwater reunion the same year. A new album Running Free, was released a year later, and the group has began to play live shows once more. Just before shooting began on Crowe's Almost Famous, the director had to clear the use of the name 'Stillwater' with the band, which they agreed to after reading the script. ~-Greg Prato (http://www.artistdirect.com/artist/bio/stillwater/497718).
Lila
Stillwater Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I been feeling blue
Girl, don't you know
It's all because of you
You say you're tired of trying
So you, you can't hold on
Lila I need your love
Don't let go
Don't let go
I give you all my love
Oh I give you all my hate
But now you're telling me
That you won't be free
You say you're tired of trying
You can't hold on
Lila I need your love
Don't let go
Don't let go
I been feeling low
Oh I been feeling blue
Girl, don't you know
It's all because of you
Lila I need your love
Don't let go
Don't let go
Lila, don't let go
Baby please, don't go
The song "Lila" by Stillwater is a heartfelt ballad that speaks to the pain of lost love. The opening lines of the song reveal the depth of the singer's emotions and how his mood has been affected by his love for Lila. He feels low and blue, and he reveals that her absence is the reason for his sadness. The chorus is particularly poignant, as the singer pleads with Lila not to let go. He needs her love, and he is desperate for her to stay with him.
The second verse reveals the singer's desperation, as he shares that he has given Lila both his love and his hate. He is willing to do anything to keep her, but Lila tells him she won't be free. Her tiredness of trying to hold on is evident, and it seems that she has made up her mind to leave. The song ends with a sorrowful but steadfast plea for Lila not to go.
Overall, "Lila" is a beautifully written and emotionally charged song that captures the pain of lost love. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and they resonate with anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak.

I-I been feeling low
I have been feeling down
Oh I been feeling blue
I have been feeling sad
Girl, don't you know
You should know
It's all because of you
You are the reason why I feel this way
You say you're tired of trying
You claim to be fed up with trying
So you, you can't hold on
As a result, you cannot continue to hold on
Ohh
A sign of lament or sadness
Lila I need your love
I require your affection, Lila
Don't let go
Don't relinquish our bond
I give you all my love
I have devoted all my love to you
Oh I give you all my hate
And yet I still harbor ill feelings towards you
But now you're telling me
However, you are informing me
That you won't be free
That you will not be available or accessible
Lila, don't let go
Lila, hold on to me
Baby please, don't go
Please don't leave me, my dear

I saw these guys open for Foreigner when Foreigner was just getting hot, in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They were so freaking good that, when Foreigner took the stage, the ENTIRE audience was chanting for Stillwater to come back. That was early to mid seventies. Fast forward to the mid-eighties, I was in the Army stationed at an Air Force Base in northern Japan (Misawa) and tasked to support a MWR (morale-welfare) show at one of the base clubs. It was "just" an Air Force band. But by God wouldn't you know it, the guitar player in the band was Rob Walker. I think he may have been taken aback by the fact that I recognized him... But this one of the GREAT UNSUNG SOUTHERN ROCK bands of all time. I love these guy, always have - always will!
