Feats Don't Fail Me Know:(1974)
Waiting For Columbus:(1978)
My Dad was big Little Feat fan, so I heard these three albums quite a bit growing up. I remember being very intrigued by the tomato woman on the cover of Waiting For Columbus. I also remember thinking the song Dixie Chicken was just a funny little tune, and not the seamy tale of a hooker. As I grew up, I kind of disregarded Little Feat as some kind of soft rock. This image was cemented by seeing a modern day incarnation of the band at a festival in Santa Cruz. I think there was maybe one original member, and it was lame. So, flash forward to the age of about twenty, I'm getting into Elvis Costello in a big way, and I find out that he was such a big Little Feat fan that he wanted his first album to sound like them. I pulled out these old records, and finally discovered how cool Lowell George was as a songwriter, and guitar player. Not to mention the rest of the original lineup. So, yeah, there's my kind of uninteresting Little Feat story. Now go listen to Fat Man In The Bathtub.
