****Welcome to our listing, thanks very much for looking!Mastered from the Original Master Tapes, Mobile Fidelity’s 24K Gold CD Opens up Dynamic Range of Historic Set Band’s Landmark 1971 Debut Puts Southern-Fried Spin on West Coast Rock Sound Seldom does a band announce its arrival with such convincing results. Led by vocalist/guitarist Lowell George and bassist Roy Estrada, both of whom played in Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, Little Feat introduced Southern-fried accents and funny personality sketches to the West Coast’s country-rock template, yielding a self-titled 1971 debut that remains singular in its aural and narrative visions of America. Just as iconic illustrator Robert Crumb’s characters evoke weirdly sympathetic figures and optimistic hippie gurus, so too do George’s cartoonish character-driven narratives. His tales of big-rig drivers on speed (the much-covered classic “Willin'”), roadside affairs (“Truck Stop Girl”), rum-drunk seafarers (“Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie”), and wayward drifters (“Strawberry Flats”) seem to come from a dusty, long-lost comic book – or at the least, a secret history of American culture that’s a helluva lot more exciting, fun, colorful, and authentic than most anything you’ve heard before. Liberating, freewheeling, and lined with subtle streaks of dark humor, Little Feat is the musical companion to Easy Rider. And now, it has the widescreen sonics to match. Sourced from the original analog master tapes by Mobile Fidelity engineers, this 24K Gold CD of Little Feat is more raw, bluesy, immediate, and open than any previous version. The first-ever album produced by three-time Grammy-winner Russ Titelman (Linda Ronstadt, Eric Clapton, Randy Newman), the record’s eclectic sound is the stuff of swinging saloon doors, muddy Delta rivers, and humid Bayou docks. Benefitting from a fully revealed dynamic range, the blend of dirty harmonicas, sliding guitars, and rolling pianos is guaranteed to make tubes glow and speakers sing. It sold poorly (around 11,000 copies) and the band never cut anything like it again, but Little Feat’s eponymous debut isn’t just one of their finest records, it’s one of the great lost rock & roll albums. Even dedicated fans tend to overlook the album, largely because it’s the polar opposite of the subtly intricate, funky rhythm & roll that made their reputation during the mid-’70s. Little Feat is a raw, hard-driving, funny and affectionate celebration of American weirdness, equal parts garage rock, roadhouse blues, post-Zappa bizarreness, post-Parsons country rock and slightly bent folk storytelling. Since it’s grounded in roots rock, it feels familiar enough, but the vision of chief songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Lowell George is wholly unique and slightly off-center. He sees everything with a gently surreal sense of humor that remains affectionate, whether it’s on an ode to a “Truck Stop Girl,” the weary trucker’s anthem “Willin’,” or the goofy character sketch of the crusty old salt “Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie.” That affection is balanced by gutsy slices of Americana like the careening travelogue “Strawberry Flats,” the darkly humorous “Hamburger Midnight” and a jaw-dropping Howlin’ Wolf medley guest-starring Ry Cooder, plus keyboardist Bill Payne’s terrific opener “Snakes on Everything.” The songwriting itself is remarkable enough, but the band is its equal — they’re as loose, vibrant and alive as the Stones at their best. In most respects, this album has more in common with George’s earlier band the Factory than the rest of the Little Feat catalog, but there’s a deftness in the writing and performance that distinguishes it from either band’s work, which makes it all the more remarkable. It’s a pity that more people haven’t heard the record, but that just means that anyone who owns it feels like they’re in on a secret only they and a handful of others know. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine Though they had all the trappings of a Southern-fried blues band, Little Feat were hardly conventional. Led by songwriter / guitarist Lowell George, Little Feat were a wildly eclectic band, bringing together strains of blues, R&B, country, and rock & roll. The band members were exceptionally gifted technically and their polished professionalism sat well with the slick sounds coming out of Southern California during the ’70s. However, Little Feat were hardly slick — they had a surreal sensibility, as evidenced by George’s idiosyncratic songwriting, which helped them earn a cult following among critics and musicians. Though the band earned some success on album-oriented radio, the group was derailed after George’s death in 1979. Little Feat re-formed in the late ’80s, and while they were playing as well as ever, they lacked the skewed sensibility that made them cult favorites. Nevertheless, their albums and tours were successful, especially among American blues-rock fans. Little Feat weren’t conceived as a straight-ahead blues-rock group. Founding members, Lowell George (vocals, guitar, slide guitar) and Roy Estrada (bass), were veterans of Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention. George had a long musical career before joining the Mothers. As a child, he and his brother Hampton performed a harmonica duet on television’s Ted Mack’s Original Amateur Hour. During high school, he learned how to play flute, which led to him appearing as an oboist and baritone saxophonist on several Frank Sinatra recording sessions. He formed the folk-rock group the Factory with drummer Richie Hayward in 1965. Before disbanding, the Factory made some recordings for Uni Records, but the tapes sat unreleased until the ’90s. Following the group’s demise, George joined the Mothers of Invention, where he met Estrada. Zappa convinced George to form his own band after hearing “Willin’,” but the guitarist was reluctant to start one until he participated in a brief Standells reunion. George and Estrada formed Little Feat in 1969 with Hayward and keyboardist Billy Payne. Neither their eponymous first album in 1971 nor 1972’s Sailin’ Shoes were commercial successes, despite strong reviews. As a result, the group temporarily disbanded, with Estrada leaving music to become a computer programmer. When the group reconvened later in 1972, he was replaced by New Orleans musician Kenny Gradney. In its second incarnation, Little Feat also featured guitarist Paul Barrére and percussionist Sam Clayton, who gave the music a funkier feeling, as demonstrated by 1973’s Dixie Chicken. The band toured heavily behind the record, building a strong following in the South and on the East Coast. Nevertheless, the group remained centered in Los Angeles, since the members did a lot of session work on the side. Though the band was earning a cult following, several members of the group were growing frustrated by George’s erratic behavior and increasing drug use. Following 1974’s Feats Don’t Fail Me Now, Barrére and Payne became the band’s main songwriters and were primarily responsible for the jazzy fusions of 1975’s The Last Record Album. Little Feat continued in that direction on Time Loves a Hero (1977), the double-live album Waiting for Columbus (1978), and Down on the Farm (1979). Frustrated with the band’s increasingly improvisational and jazzy nature, George recorded a solo album, Thanks I’ll Eat It Here, which was released in 1979. Following its release, George announced that Little Feat had broken up and he embarked on a solo tour. Partway through the tour, he died of an apparent heart attack. Down on the Farm was released after his death, as was the rarities collection Hoy-Hoy! (1981). After spending seven years as sidemen, Payne, Barrére, Hayward, Gradney, and Clayton re-formed Little Feat in 1988, adding vocalist / guitarist Craig Fuller and guitarist Fred Tackett. The heavily anticipated Let It Roll was released in 1988 to mixed reviews, but it went gold. Each of the group’s subsequent reunion albums — Representing the Mambo (1989), Shake Me Up (1991), and Ain’t Had Enough Fun (1995) — sold progressively less, but the band remained a popular concert attraction. On the latter album, the band traded the strongly Lowell George-esque voice of Fuller for female singer Shaun Murphy; this lineup went on to release Under the Radar in 1998 and Chinese Work Songs in 2000. Numerous compilations and live recordings peppered the next few years, followed by 2003’s Kickin’ It at the Barn, the group’s first album for its own indie label, Hot Tomato Records. Rocky Mountain Jam arrived in early 2007. Join the Band, a collection of duets with Feat friends and fans, followed in 2008 on Proper Records. After a struggle with liver disease, founding Feat member Richie Hayward passed away from pneumonia and lung disease on August 12, 2010. Little Feat continued to tour after his death, enlisting Gabe Ford as their new drummer. The first album of new material from Little Feat in nine years, Rooster Rag, appeared in 2012. Guitarist Paul Barrére struggled with health problems in the 2010s, and he died on October 26, 2019. – Stephen Thomas Erlewine Out of Print!
