It has never fully satisfied me. I listen to it when you mention it on deb. But I never seek it out. Too folk for my tastes. Also a bit lacking in Blues, that rawness, if you know what I mean.
Damn, you’re missing the fourth Johnny, another phenomenal thing (all of their stuff is great, but the first four are the phenomenal ones). And the live. The live from '78. Remastered version from the 2000s with the complete tracklist of those performances, a photonic monument to music.
Great feats, but still in the early stages. The really beautiful part would come later. Among the Live shows, Neon Park is also recommended, plus about 4/5 half-illegal titles that have only recently become easily accessible and of great quality.
The Feat are the Mardi Gras of the Rock caravan, artistically adopted from New Orleans, music steeped in Creole moods, strong flavors, swampy and humid odors, the carnival triumph of musical molecules that clash first and then blend, rendering their musical staff always different from itself but a guide for the next track, which will inevitably be a surprise even for the seasoned listener. It starts with Dr. John, keeping an eye on 50s rock & roll, a touch of jazz here, a burst of urban groove there, and in the most adrenaline-pumping moments, the muscular pride of the South makes its presence felt, perhaps not forgetting the deepest roots of bluegrass before expanding into rattling bottleneck excursions, all seasoned with a slanted, lunar vein and vibrant humor right from the surreal covers by Neon Park. All contained within a great Blues shell. Good review, doubly so because you did it for a just cause that deserves so much more than the little that is said.
Let's add a touch of surreal unpredictability that gives them an extra step in terms of imagination, in addition to all the precise references you've dissected.
Unique band, moving, constantly inspired and brilliant. They will reach their zenith with the next three albums, but this is a debut worthy of applause in my opinion. Then every now and then you find George or all of them playing here and there on other records. With Akiko Yano for example, or in a couple of live/sessions with Bonnie Raitt, all very, very beautiful.
Simply extraordinary. They and their cousins, the Doobie Brothers (more populist and less convoluted, but equally multifaceted and brilliant), form the quintessential Californian duo of good music.
