Pre-MP3 days.......2007-05-06

In the pre-MP3 days, there was the game of choosing the one album you would want if stranded on a deserted island. This would be VERY high on my list.

shock announcement -- little feat not "southern rock" .......2007-02-10

The editorial review calls Little Feat a "Southern rock" band. Let's see... Lowell George's father was a furrier from Hollywood, CA and Lowell was an LA kid who grew up around actors and artists, not rednecks. Before Little Feat, Lowell played in a California garage psychedelic band and then with Frank Zappa. Zappa's musical eclecticism and the surreal psychedelic blues of Zappa's friend Captain Beefheart are important influences on Lowell's music. Then we have Roy Estrada, a former Mother of Invention, Little Feat's original bass player. So out of the original 4 members of Little Feat, two are LA musicians & former Frank Zappa band members. How's that "Southern rock"? Bill Payne was from Texas, but the band was based in LA, and the feel is very experimental, psychedelic and sophisticated.

The "Southern rock" label is applied by superficial listeners because of Little Feat's funky rhythmic feel and the fact that Lowell played slide guitar. But Lowell's playing, while influenced by Delta blues, is much more musically advanced than most Southern rock, it is jazzy, subtle and experimental. If Duane Allman was influenced by Coltrane's extended linear solos, Lowell was more of a Thelonious Monk, exploring fractured rhythms and dreamlike, otherworldly harmonic textures. listen to Sailing Shoes or Trouble. These songs stop and start, then collapse and flow like melting honey. Lowell's slide playing was all about ornamental texture and atmosphere, he mostly played behind and around his vocal lines creating rich sound shadings to emphasize and enhance the emotional expression of the lyrics with tone colors. Check the slide on "Got No Shadow" -- for would-be slide players like myself, this is a master-class in how to extract a molecular explosion of tone from a few sustained notes. Lowell's lyrics, are closer to people like Dylan than Skynyrd. "Lady in a turban and a Cocaine Tree," "The footprints on your ceiling they're almost gone".

OK, I'm done, case closed. Listen to Lowell, he's the doctor.

Good album.......2007-01-22

I was completely satisfied with this album. It had many of my favorites, and unlike most CDs, it was fairly long.

great selection, terrible sound.......2007-01-03

All my favorite songs, but they sound like they were bootlegged off my old roommate's tape player. Muffled and flat, no matter how loud you crank it up. Very disappointing.

The Feat That didn't Fail Me.......2004-10-20

Many good musical things happened in the early 70s, apart from Dylan's return to form with 'Blood On the Tracks'. And one of them was Lowell George's,'Little Feat'. They were sensational in Melbourne, a night I have fond, exhilerating memories of.'Dixie Chicken' was already out there, and the evening involved much of its core content, to the delight of the crowd. Now people aplenty will tell you that The Feat's continuance after George's tragic death, has been solid if not excellent. Not for me. The edge he brought to their music was really what took me places.'As Time Goes By', gives a good dose of George at the peak of his powers; plenty of his songs, sizzling guitar work and that wonderful, wonderful voice. On my ideal 'Best Of' would be the entirety of Dixie, plus the tracks here, which are the ones I would have chosen from the remaining early discs.There's George's preferred version of 'Willin'.(I first heard the song on a minor masterpiece,'Kindling', by Gene Parsons, and was surprised to note its absence on Parson's re-release). But why no,'Roll'um Easy'? (Another aside; George's version is great, but it receives majestic treatment on Glen Campbell's,'Reunion'disc). But this is so close to my best of.
