Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Everything came together for Little Feat's third album. An expanded line-up gave the Feat a more supple rhythmic base, Lowell George penned some of his strongest numbers, and they developed an oozy studio sound that suited them to a T. The title track, "Fat Man in a Bathtub", and "Two Trains" distilled compounded rhythms, wailing background vocals, and adroit wordplay into an intoxicating soul-rock swill. In many ways, Dixie Chicken stands as a kind of kissing cousin to the Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street, which hit the streets one year earlier. While not as expansive as the Stones' magnum opus, its highlights are every bit as spectacular. --Steve Stolder

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Feat's Best Album, Sep 23 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Dixie Chicken (Audio CD)

DIXIE CHICKEN is Little Feat's best album ever, perfecting the group's blend of Allman Brothers, New Orleans funk, country, and island influences. The opening title track is an interesting tale of Crescent City nightlife, and "Fat Man In The Bathtub" and "On Your Way Down provide unusual humor. This album was the template for artists ranging from roots-rockers such as Los Lobos and John Hiatt to even some of the dance music of today.

This review is from: Dixie Chicken (Audio CD)

"Dixie Chicken" is, quite simply, Little Feat's masterpiece. The title track, and "Fat Man in the Bathtub," are probably the funkiest (and quirkiest) songs they ever wrote, but the whole album is a hearty stew of funk, blues, country, R&B, and good ol' rock & roll.

In short, this is American music at its best. Serious fans already own this disc, and for casual fans, it's the right place to start.

This review is from: Dixie Chicken (Audio CD)

I can't say that I enjoy the bulk of Little Feat's music, but occasionally, a song is completely addictive, like Fat Man in the Bathtub or Dixie Chicken. I find one or two on each album that are worth the price because I listen to them over and over.

Little Feat were best appreciated in a live setting (WAITING FOR COLUMBUS is testament to that), but their third release is a masterpiece. Read more
