Following Roy Estrada s departure during the supporting tour for Sailin Shoes, Lowell George became infatuated with New Orleans R B and mellow jamming, all of which came to a head on their third album, 1973 s Dixie Chicken. Although George is firmly in charge - he dominates the record, writing or co-writing seven of the 10 songs - this is the point where Little Feat found its signature sound as a band, and no album they would cut from this point on was too different from this seductive, laid-back, funky record. But no album would be quite as good, either, since Dixie Chicken still had much of the charming lyrical eccentricities of the first two albums, plus what is arguably George s best-ever set of songs. Partially due to the New Orleans infatuation, the album holds together better than Sailin Shoes and George takes full advantage of the band s increased musical palette, writing songs that sound easy but are quite sophisticated, such as the rolling Two Trains, the gorgeous, shimmering Juliette, the deeply soulful and funny Fat Man in the Bathtub and the country-funk of the title track, which was covered nearly as frequently as Willin . In addition to Walkin All Night, a loose bluesy jam by Barrere and Bill Payne, the band also hauls out two covers which fit George s vibe perfectly: Allan Toussaint s slow burner On Your Way Down and Fool Yourself, which was written by Fred Tackett, who later joined a reunited Feat in the 80s. It all adds up to a nearly irresistible record, filled with great songwriting, sultry grooves, and virtuosic performances that never are flashy. Little Feat, along with many jam bands that followed, tried to top this album, but they never managed to make a record this understated, appealing and fine.

CONDITION:
THE RECORD
IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight
a THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them.
b The record is apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording
c The record is believed to come in its original stock inner sleeve.
d Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording
THE COVER
COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL SHRINK WRAP
