One of THE great American bands. I think I’m on record elsewhere on the Storm as saying that Waiting For Columbus (the two-CD version, in particular) is the best live album ever recorded, by anyone . . . .

I recently scored a copy of a Feat album from 2000 called Chinese Work Song in a charity shop. I’m always interested to hear what my old heroes sound like in their dotage; sometimes they’re still fine (Doobie Bros) and sometimes disappointing (Eagles). This one rocks like it’s still 1970. Great work from Barrere and the lads. If you find this, buy it.

Utterly overlooked album by an equally overlooked band. Their version of the Howlin’ Wolf track is almost the sole reason to get this debut album. I had it many years, but this excellent blog
reminds me of just how good they were.

“Dixie Chicken” however is the masterpiece, and should be brought on sight.

RIP Lowell and Richie.

Hi there, i discovered this band few months ago beginning with that album.As a #1 Rolling Stones fan it was just like discovering Exile on Main Street lost tapes..And i must say that i prefere this to Exile. The extraordinary blend of southern american music (country, blues, whatever u want ), alongside with good rockin is just amazing. Lowell George voice sounds like a link between Mick Jagger and Van Morrison, with Dr.John’s groove. Man, this is something. Some myths say that Jagger listened carefully to Little Feat’s first two LP,s when recording Exile On Main Street, and I’m sure it’s true..But where Exile lacks some tempo and maybe some spontanoeus feel too, Little Feat’s first LP sounds as naturally as it can be, totally free, relaxed and inspired. This is a great underrated album, a twin brother to a much more overrated but great too , Exile On Main St. One more thing – Little Feat rules!!!

Hi,

I can’t stop playing this one at the moment. Reminds me a lot of the themes and style of Jackson Browne’s “Running on empty”. A new favorite. Thanks.

Keep ‘em coming.
