Album of the Day

By 1972, Lowell George and his Little Feat cohorts had an acclaimed debut album under their belts but with SAILIN' SHOES the band reached another level entirely – something obvious from the opening notes of “Easy To Slip,” which stands among the great lost singles of the decade. Produced by Ted Templeman, the Warner Bros. collection features some of George's best-loved songs, including “Cold, Cold, Cold,” “Tripe Faced Boogie,” “Teenage Nervous Breakdown” and truck-driving anthem “Willin'.” As seasoned L.A. music veterans, the foursome deliver performances that are pretty near immaculate and, more importantly, soulful; the roots-informed rock of these 11 tracks goes down mighty easy. If Neon Park's cover art isn't sufficient inspiration to kick up your heels, just give a listen to SAILIN' SHOES.
