Sailin' Shoes was the LP that introduced me to at to Little Feat, at the tender age of 14 or 15, so it will always be my fave. It reminds me of happy, relatively care-free times. The more I listen to Richie Hayward's drumming, the more I appreciate what a fine percussionist he was. Sadly I only got to see the band live a few days after Richie's passing, so that was a bitter sweet experience. Thanks for the music of our lives guys.
I've seen them many times With and without Lowell. I saw Lowell's solo show. Not many can say that sadly. I've been to Jamaica. My all time favorite band. I'd say they should be in the R&R Hall of Fame but I doubt it will happen.
Wow! Thanks for all the extras. Demo outtakes are always interesting to listen to. You can compare the original with the finished version. Plus, the early live stuff is quite good too.
I almost just punched my roommate when she asked for the 15th time is that country? Cause she knows I don’t care for country. Little Feat can do country or any damn thing they want. They got it all! These fellas practically kept me alive in the teenage nervous breakdown years and after. I love them so much. They got my head straight yesterday and again they will today. Feel normal when they’re on. Thanks for posting.
Listening, one could easily think this was from Georgia or Mississippi, but no one would guess California. Nobody sounded like Little Feat. Truly a sound and style all their own.
Any time I listen to LF I ALWAYS hear something I hadn't heard before. As with other accompanying LF friends they (LF) have remained my favorite band of all time (FBOAT). Their musical depth, lyrical stories deeply resonate with me now and until I reach the grave. I can't stop the groove in my legs when I listen to any of their albums. Any one of their albums is my absolute favorite. Sorry, not making a choice on that. LOL LF forever!!! "Every one will hip-hooray when you put on your sailing shoes" ; )
If you like LFTs version of 'Sailin' Shoes' ... Do yourself a favor and give a listen to Robert Palmers version on the EP that includes ' Sneakin' through the alley with silicone Sally".... EPIC!
Rhino Warners "executives"...Why did you obliterate and crop Neon Park's original art on your "deluxe" CD?? What possible reason could you have to list the CD tracks on a ridiculously huge red square on the back portion of the original gatefold LP cover when you can put them on a booklet inside? Why crop the entire lower portion of the original LP cover when it easily fits intact on the CD cover? Did you give the job to an unaware teenager who cares nothing about art? Did the surviving members of the band approve of this art butchering?? Why did you do the same useless thing on your Dixie Chicken "deluxe" CD??
I had a feeling this might come up. This is where the only compromise had to be made with regards to these deluxe editions. The back cover of Sailin' Shoes, by necessity, would need to be altered in some way to account for the full tracklisting of this deluxe edition (the original tracklisting was displayed across a very small portion of the back cover). The designer for the project came up with a genius idea: put the full tracklist on a huge sticker on the back cover. We were able to successfully do this for the vinyl version as that format had a larger budget. The CD, however, did not have the same budget, and in order to put the sticker on the back of the CD would have necessitated a much higher retail price, which is something I did not want to happen. Begrudgingly, we had to alter the CD artwork only as such. It is retained in full for the vinyl version. You win some. You lose some... and yes, the band approved this release in full. They are completely supportive of what we're trying to do to further their legacy.
I think it was the half gallon of vodka he drank almost every day...same way my best friend ever passed...my youngest son is named after him...bless them all 🙏🙏
Lowells Drug Problems in 1972-73 were no worse than Richie Haywards, or Paul Barrere. His decline was Illustrated By his Dwindling Song composition. Saw Little Feat 10 times between 1972-1978.Should be In R&R hall but did not sell enough records for the powers that be. His massive weight gain coincided with his addiction

If this is country, I'm a lobster

Country is a subjective term. I honestly consider it Country, in a good way. The best kind of country music.
Beautiful Song.... Love It....Thanks....Bye Bye JeanFrancois
Great band so underatted

Could never understand why Little Feat; along with Poco, never broke out and became big! SO much talent!
What a fantastic compilation!!! Love it! And so will every Feat fan!!
The Feats never failed
Great album, great band 🤘🐌🤘
Amazing release ...
Good upping Captain
Great album !
I saw Little Feat at their 50th anniversary concert at Red Butte Garden, Utah Wednesday June 5th 2019 It was great!
This band somehow existed 50 years? Well to each his own.
@@calsavestheworld what exactly do you mean by that comment
@@jeffreycantor5569 nothing, sir, please don't hurt me.
@@calsavestheworldsmart arse
Robert Palmer did a great version also
Smoked a lot of smoke to this on the late 70s .

Silicone Sally ?
WTF are you on ?
Robert Palmer's version is brilliant. Plus Lowell plays slide on it. Bonus.
I think all the bonus material here is fantastic!
Thank you.
This song (Easy to Slip)could have been on the top 40 hit list. Their record company was a bunch of wankers.
❤ To LF & Robert Palmer ❤
BABY
Instant chills!! This first song Easy To Slip is one of my favorites from the Talbot Brothers! Wondering now who exactly wrote it...
Lowell George
Marine my tours a brother our song our tours brothers our boots a Marines
❤❤
Today was the *1* year anniversary of when the deluxe edition of Little Feat's "Sailin' Shoes" was released! 🤓
😊😊
Shadow are you leaving me.
🎉🇧🇷
18 yrs old and wearing this absolutely great album out even at the drive in
🇧🇷🇧🇷
Old Folks BOOGIE 😅
Prefer this line up but lowell georges escalating drug use necessitated additional line up. Sounds fine here
what is that on the swing?
It's a cupcake, cupcake!
Cheesecake.
Chocolate cake with icing.
The live set is off the hook.

@@EhtNosajsSenoj so we can release all of these "unaware teenagers" that we brought in for questioning ?
@@jeffandersen7397 obviously
Good eye!
Never liked the post sailin shoes line up. That said lowell george was succumbing to drugs way back then and the band needed cover
