Sailin' Shoes demonstrates just how briskly Little Feat was developing in their early 1970s formative years. A pronounced step up from the Southern California quartet's critically praised 1971 debut, it's not as fully realized as the Feat's 1973 zenith, Dixie Chicken. But it's not far behind, and that's saying something. The final recording made by the original quartet (the band swelled to six members after founding bassist and Mothers of Invention alumni Roy Estrada split), Little Feat circa 1972 is a lean, energetic outfit. ""Cold, Cold, Cold,"" ""Tripe Face Boogie,"" ""Apolitical Blues,"" and ""Teenage Nervous Breakdown"" are blunter rockers than what would follow. Lowell George's title track and Bill Payne's ""Got No Shadow"" and ""Cat Fever,"" meanwhile, presage the more limber direction the group was headed

Formed by the late, great Lowell George, Little Feat made music that was loose, funky, literate, and impossible to pin down. Sailin' Shoes (1972) caught the band just as their legend was taking shape - a mix of sharp-witted storytelling and swampy grooves that defined early-'70s cool. From 'Willin' and 'Easy to Slip' to the swaggering title track, it's a master class in Southern California songwriting with a Louisiana twist. These songs defined Little Feat's legend as one of rock's most distinctive voices.This 45 RPM pressing, cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab from the original master tape, opens up the soundstage with wider grooves for superior tracking, lower distortion, and richer dynamics. Guitars shimmer, vocals breathe, and the rhythm section punches with warmth and clarity that only vinyl - at 45 RPM - can deliver.
