(5 stars) - Couldn't be better
The Little Feat CD arrived in amazing time and
was in perfect condition. Enjoying the music.

(5 stars) - Little Feat's Debut Album Is Great, If A Bit Unpolished
Little Feat's self-titled debut album is great, with an incredibly twisted sense of humor. However, if you buy it, don't expect the polished sound of the follow-ups SAILIN' SHOES and DIXIE CHICKEN, and certainly not FEATS DON'T FAIL ME NOW. This is raw, unvarnished, country-blues-rock. In fact, it's so raw as to be underdone at times. However, if you listen enough times, it will eventually grow on you. This is a CD which any Little Feat fan should own.

(4 stars) - first step to perfection
the first step on the road to lowell george perfection (dixie chicken, anyone?) this first feat's album was rough and unrefined and just what it took to blow the socks off a little 16 year old boy who grew up on the beatles. the ground work was laid for the classic feat sound- a little country, a little blues and funk with just a taste of zappa weirdness thrown in (lowell was previously in the mother's with bassist roy estrada). these guys were my favorite band through their first 4 or 5 albums and they still sound fine now that i'm old and grizzled at 53. lowell left us much too soon and is sorely missed.

(4 stars) - Order something with snakes on everything
Little Feat's classic debut album for Warner Brothers has been lovingly remastered by Shawn Britton (who has done two other recent terrific MoFi releases Linda Ronstandt's "Don't Cry Now" and The Allman Brothers Band's "Idlewind South"). This classic mix of humor, blues-rock (which features Ry Cooder as a guest guitarist on two tracks)sounds terrific. The original album art has been duplicated. There's also an appreciation by Russ Titleman (who met Lowell George in a class to learn how to play sitar during the Summer of Love)as well as the lyrics to all the songs on the album.

If you got into the band with later albums you should be aware that Little Feat's first album (an overlooked masterpiece, while it has the seeds of their later great albums, is probably the least like albums such as their classic live set "Waiting for Columbus" compared to later work. It has a much rougher blues edge to the overall sound but it's still a delight.

This is only available as a limited, numbered edition (don't know how many are being produced however). I'd highly recommend Little Feat's debut. Keep up the great work Shawn!
