Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
Sailin' Shoes demonstrates just how briskly Little Feat was developing in their early 1970s formative years. A pronounced step up from the Southern California quartet's critically praised 1971 debut, it's not as fully realized as the Feat's 1973 zenith, Dixie Chicken. But it's not far behind, and that's saying something. The final recording made by the original quartet (the band swelled to six members after founding bassist and Mothers of Invention alumni Roy Estrada split), Little Feat circa 1972 is a lean, energetic outfit. "Cold, Cold, Cold," "Tripe Face Boogie," "Apolitical Blues," and "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" are blunter rockers than what would follow. Lowell George's title track and Bill Payne's "Got No Shadow" and "Cat Fever," meanwhile, presage the more limber direction the group was headed. --Steven Stolder

+ 1/2 stars...Little Feat Delivers on Sophomore Effort,
By
This review is from: Sailin' Shoes (Audio CD)
Group founder and driving force Lowell George again dominates Little Feat's sophomore effort, writing or co-writing eight of the album's eleven tracks, including classics like the radio-friendly "Easy to Slip" (although it failed to dent the charts), the funky "Cold, Cold, Cold," the slide guitar-driven "A Apolitical Blues," the bluesy "Sailin Shoes," the hard-rockin' "Teenage Nervous Breakdown" and the band's signature song, "Willin'," repeated here from their debut album in a fuller, meatier version. Another classic Little Feat number is the Payne-Hayward "Tripe Face Boogie." Overal this is one of their best studio efforts (bested only by the follow-up, DIXIE CHICKEN the following year). This is the fulfillment of the promise shown on their debut. Sharp songwriting, impeccable playing and passion in spades. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This is definitely the album you need to start out with if your not famaliar with Little Feat. This album is strong from the first note to the last. This is an album, when on my stereo, has to be played from beginning to end. Do yourself a favor and buy this album, you'll thank yourself later!! Definitely a classic!!
