In retrospect, Little Feat would've been an ideal choice as the band that best represented the United States during its bicentennial birth-year. After all, this was a group that threaded together its various influences as well as any, a musical mélange of swampy blues and funky soul, driven by second line grooves out of New Orleans, powering down the proud highway of American rock and roll...

Not to take anything away from the output of Little Feat over the past few decades but the band's seminal work was done in the '70s prior to the death of singer/guitarist Lowell George. And for fans of that era, here's a real treat as Live in Holland presents a hot set list drawn primarily from the Sailin' Shoes, Dixie Chicken and Feats Don't Fail Me Now albums...

Live in Holland 1976 is an ideal companion piece to the previously released Little Feat DVD Skin It Back recorded in Germany in 1977. On the latter, Lowell George was no longer titular leader of the group, but rather well into his withdrawal from that role as he acquiesced to the creative input of keyboardist Bill Payne and guitarist Paul Barrere (even to the point of leaving the stage during the instrumental "Day at the Dog Races")...

Ostensibly part of the mightywave of laidback rock thatemanated from southernCalifornia at the beginningof the 70s, Little Feat werealways a more eclectic andorganic proposition thanmany of their contemporaries.Led by the ebullientmaverick Lowell George,they embraced a cornucopiaof styles, their ramshackleapproach to both studioand live work disguisingan extraordinary level ofmusicianship within.

Rhino The first and, for some, the only question of those interested in Little Feat's Rad Gumbo, the box set of all 11 albums the band issued on Warner Bros., plus a bonus disc of outtakes, is whether or not these discs sound different from the CDs of the same material that have been previously released. The answer, at least anecdotally, is yes, these new editions appear to have benefitted from a boost in volume, and subsequently seem brighter sonically than their counterparts...

Seventies jam band supreme,Little Feat were responsible forsome outstanding vinylbootlegs. Now here's another concert release on wax: a radiobroadcast cut in Boston in1975, on the release of fifthLP The Last Record Album.From that point of view it'slate prime-period: the Feat'sofficial "Frampton", WaitingFor Columbus, recorded twoyears later, was the work ofa dying band and, on theevidence of a London date,considerably remixed.

Sixteen studio albums and over four decades into a career that started inauspiciously in 1971, the key elements of the Little Feat sound remain. Swampy rhythms? Check. Nasty, cutting slide guitar? Present. A funky combination of blues, country and rock and roll? Oh yeah. Quirky idiosyncratic songwriting? Well, three out of four ain't bad...
