My review

Level of familiarity before listening

I listened to Sailin’ Shoes by Little Feat back in May, but I had never heard of Little Feat before that point, and wasn’t really impressed by their music.

What I expected

I guess more blues rock?

What it was actually like

This was such a weird record that sounded almost as if it had been made by two bands, one a funk / jazz band and the other a blues rock / southern rock band.

Jazz and funk:

Rock & Roll Doctor

Skin it Back

Spanish Moon

Blues rock and southern rock:

Oh Atlanta

Down the Road

Medley: Cold Cold Cold/Tripe Face Boogie

Hybrid of both styles:

Feats Don’t Fail Me Now

The Fan was a sort of jazz-rock jam

I didn’t really like any of it, though.

Grade

3/5: interesting, but not for me
