Little Feat

The Profile

Little Feat are an American rock band formed around Lowell George in 1969, known for blending blues, R&B, country, funk and Southern styles; Lowell George died in 1979 and the band was later reformed and continued performing.

Origins include members with links to Frank Zappa's circle (Roy Estrada mentioned in reviews). Neon Park created many of the band's notable album covers. Waiting For Columbus is widely praised in the reviews as a landmark live album.

DeBaser reviews praise Little Feat's hybrid of blues, R&B, country and funk anchored by Lowell George's songwriting and slide. Sailin' Shoes, Dixie Chicken and Waiting for Columbus are repeatedly singled out. The debut is noted as bluesier and rougher; later records expand into funk and jazz-rock. Post-George lineups continued the band in a more metropolitan California style.
