Sailin Shoes (Deluxe Edition)

Description

Little Feat is the quintessential cult band. Started by Lowell George, 1972s Sailin Shoes captures these musical rebels at one of their early peaks. The songs on Sailin Shoes are a masterful collage of inventive narrative, resplendent in countercultural irony and romance. Featuring the classic tracks Willin (covered by Linda Rondstadt and many others), Easy to Slip (originally written for the Doobie Brothers) and the title track, its an album whose status has grown immeasurably, making it one of the most acclaimed releases of its era. With 1973s Dixie Chicken, Little Feat found its signature sound as a band, producing a seductive, laid-back, funky record made up of what is arguably Lowell Georges best-ever set of songs. With tracks that sound easy but are quite sophisticated, fans will enjoy hits like the rolling Two Trains, the deeply soulful and funny Fat Man in the Bathtub and the country-funkified title track (which was covered nearly as frequently as Willin’). These deluxe editions include the original albums remastered and recut from the original tapes, alongside previously unreleased studio outtakes and demos, and complete unreleased live shows. Its a treasure trove of material for their feverish fan base, and the first ever deep dive into one of the most influential bands from the 70s Warner catalog.
