Long-running purveyors of funky southern boogie (by way of Los Angeles), and once the chief songwriting
outlet for Lowell George. Though they had all the trappings of a Southern-fried blues band, Little Feat
were hardly conventional. Led by songwriter/guitarist Lowell George, Little Feat were a wildly eclectic band,
bringing together strains of blues, R&B, country, and rock & roll. The bandmembers were exceptionally
gifted technically and their polished professionalism sat well with the slick sounds coming out of Southern California
during the '70s. However, Little Feat were hardly slick -- they had a surreal sensibility, as evidenced by George's
idiosyncratic songwriting, which helped the band earn a cult following among critics and musicians. Though
the band earned some success on album-oriented radio, the group was derailed after George's death in 1979

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...(AllMusic)
