The Profile

Little Feat is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1969 by Lowell George and Bill Payne. Known for blending rock, blues, funk, country, and New Orleans R&B, the group released acclaimed 1970s albums and the landmark live set Waiting for Columbus. After Lowell George’s death in 1979, the band disbanded and later reformed in 1987, remaining active.

Classic 1970s lineup included Lowell George, Bill Payne, Paul Barrère, Richie Hayward, Kenny Gradney, and Sam Clayton; album covers frequently illustrated by Neon Park; Tower of Power horn section featured on Waiting for Columbus; signature songs include “Willin’.”

DeBaser’s reviewers celebrate Little Feat’s 1970s prime: Sailin’ Shoes and Dixie Chicken as peak studio triumphs, Feats Don’t Fail Me Now for its funkier punch, and Time Loves a Hero for jazz‑rock intricacy. Waiting for Columbus is hailed as a landmark live statement. The debut Little Feat gets love for its blues roots and the early “Willin’.”
