Little Feat Artist Snapshot:

Los Angeles' Little Feat served up a polymorphic gumbo of New Orleans funk, southern boogie, and blues rock with the soulful slide guitar, worn voice, and tremendous country-tinged songwriting of leader Lowell George as its main ingredients. Founded by George and pianist Bill Payne in 1969, Little Feat released a couple of straighter blues rock albums before embracing an infectious, Meters-like groove in their rhythm section (Roy Estrada and Richie Hayward of the Mothers of Invention). Despite a run of critically acclaimed albums throughout the '70s--and George's continuing excellence as a songwriter--the band broke up in 1979 shortly after George died. Reformed versions of Little Feat continued to release records and tour in the ensuing decades.

Review

Q (10/00, p.145) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[Their] funky blues never really achieved the commercial success it deserved....Worth investigating."
CMJ (10/30/00, p.21) - "...You hear just how unique bearish singer/songwriter/guitarist Lowell George's surealist musical vision was..."
Dirty Linen (4-5/01, p.58) - "...We're talking about unheard Feat songs!..."
No Depression (3-4/01, pp.104-5) - "...Allows for some perspective on the band's 3 decade career....demonstrating how fragmented their history really was and still is....giving all sides their due..."
Mojo (Publisher) (10/00, p.89) - "...A fine box set...the material from...their first album...[and] the follow-up SAILIN' SHOES sounds the best and most timeless here..."

HOTCAKES & OUTTAKES was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Album Notes.

Based in their original incarnation around the genius of Lowell George, Little Feat's legacy has left them overlooked by the general listening public, despite a wide-ranging style that embraces blues, country, gospel, jazz, and funk. This sumptuous four-CD set impressively chronicles this mercurial band's pre- and post- Lowell George journey with rare photos, essays, and track-by-track reminisces from band members, along with a disc chock-full of rarities and outtakes.

Throughout HOTCAKES, it's hard to disagree with liner notes author Bud Scoppa's opinion that Little Feat is as rootsy as the Band, as funky as the Meters, and as cerebral as Steely Dan. Early numbers like "Willin'," "Tripe Face Boogie," and "Cold, Cold, Cold" find Little Feat going from eclectic country-fried boogie, to a syncopated New Orleans sound upon the arrival of Sam Clayton and Kenny Gradney, to more familiar fare like "Dixie Chicken" and "Fat Man in the Bathtub." By the time George cut his only solo album THANKS I'LL EAT IT HERE (represented here by "20 Million Things"), Little Feat were disbanding, but they regrouped in the late '80s as a straightforward roots-rock outfit, best known for numbers like "Let it Roll" and "Rad Gumbo."
