Evidently that holds true today as this is the only LF song he's done. Am unsubbing him if that doesn't change soon. I think we should all threaten him with a boycott if he don't get his....together
I was destroyed when we lost Lowell George. I was too young to see him in person. Then I got tickets and we lost him. I still wear overalls in his memory.
@@MrKelleyzinho yeah but in that "southern rock" or "jam band" genre that they are usually lumped in with they never stood out with the likes of Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker band, the Dead, and list goes on. Commercially they did do pretty well but are really only known for one song.
Little Feat's Waiting For Colombus live album is a bona-fide gem from start to finish. What a group of outstanding musicians. If you haven't heard it yet. You're very welcome for the recommendation. It'll be time well spent.
Ron has some great advice here. Waiting for Columbus is one of the best live recordings ever. Tower of Power horn section bumpin it up. It's just fun to listen to and they had fun playing it. It is a sick fun dynamic that'll make you smile for days. Oh, best album cover art ever as well.
@@lewismaddox4132 Yes Waiting for Columbus is in my opinion one of the best live albums from the 70's.In my top 5 for sure.Live albums.Everyone should have a copy !
You’ve just cracked the door to an amazing rabbit hole that is Little Feat. This hole is filled with great treasures of music. There are a number of albums filled with some of life, strife, politics and drug references of the ‘70’s. I highly recommend these songs: Feats Don’t Fail Me Now, Willin’, Tripe Face Boogie, and my favorite Spanish Moon (the best version is a later one released on their Join the Band CD). Your face may freeze with a residual smile as you spelunk your way along. Love your channel!!!
Here’s a link to the Spanish Moon audio version, which features Vince Gill. The production quality is top shelf. ruclips.net/video/wSN2eLTCoDY/видео.html
"Old folks boogie, and boogie we will" Lowell George. Little Feat is SO great, and so under rated. More Feat please. I recommend Skin it back, Old folks boogie, Oh Atlanta, and many more.
Jinglebe11 Rainbow couldn’t agree more. Lowell George was such a talent and surrounded by these great musicians it’s magical. I’m so glad Jamal went to Little Feat, they will always be on my playlist. Now play Dixie Chicken or anything off Waiting for Columbus.
"On Your Way Down" was written by Allen Toussaint and recorded by Little Feat. Low down and funky. I know you would love it. Little Feat is one of those rabbit hole bands.
Please PLEASE 🙏🙏 do Little Feat's song "On Your Way Down" -- it's soulful as hell and has a great message. It was written by the amazing late great Allen Toussaint.
Little Feat was a great band. Their live album Waiting for Columbus is arguably one of the best live albums ever. It deserves a place in everyone's record collection.
These Feat songs sound so much better on their live album "Waiting for Columbus". Higher energy and just more zip all around. It's one of the all time great live albums IMHO. Keep on doing what you're doing my friend! I really enjoy your channel.
Little feat is crazy good. Check out Dr. John, also the New Orleans suspects I think some of the remaining members of the feats became apart of the band.
I cannot stress this enough: you need to check out "TRIPE FACE BOOGIE" from the live "Waiting For Columbus" album. Not the studio version of the song. The LIVE version from this album.
now ya talkin, Little Feat with one on the great slide guitar players. The Feat were largely under-rated but filled many hours of ear-bliss back in the day. R.I.P. Lowell George, too young too soon. Band often had such backing singers as Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Bonnie Raitt and others. Stick the headphones on and have a listen to "Willin"
I'm So glad you got to this one! I saw the notification on my phone, and my mind said " That Jamel, done made me turn on the damned computer!" Thanks man! I love you!
For a while in the mid 80's, I was living out of an old beater car that a friend was nice enough to gift me, spending some time on Dead tour and on the road. The car came with a few tapes, including Little Feat's Sailing Shoes, which I listened to relentlessly. Easy to Slip is the song that stuck with me the most.
I'm Australian, 64 years old. My impression has always been that was what parts of L.A. was like in the early '70s. It's kind of amazing that they got away with it though. I mean, singing about speddballs and streetwalkers and such on a t.v. show! What's not to love about Little Feat. I was lucky enough to see them when they came to Australia in (I think 75).I had never heard of them, but in those days in this country, if you were from overseas we went to see. Australia was at the ends of the Earth for bands. anyway.One of the best and most fun concerts I think I've ever seen. Loved them ever since. You must listen to more of their stuff. Not necessarily for reactions, just for fun.
Sad this is that Lowell George - lead guitar and singer - loved speedballs. I THINK that's how he died was a speedball overdose. Check out "Spanish Moon" by this band. It's a different kind of song but it's got such a deep pocket and nasty groove.
@@rmacbobco I believe ingesting an entire x-large pizza in one sitting contributed as well. Not mocking or anything. Lowell was one of my favorite players and singers. 'Long Distance Love' with Valerie Carter and Fran Tate backing him up is unmatched emotion.
Sam Clayton is alive and very well. Still tours with Little Feat. You may have confused conga player Sam with all-universe drummer, Richie Hayward. Sadly, Richie passed ten or so years ago. One of the best , for sure!
I seen Little Feat back in the late 80's. They were the backup band for Stevie Ray Vaughn at the Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids Iowa. Fantastic concert, Stevie Ray made it to Cedar Rapids one more time and died sometime shortly after that concert
Even *before* I've listened to your latest video, I say "YES!!~" More Little Feat! They were every bit as solid in the world of 1970's *real* music as were Steely Dan or anyone else you've covered extensively.
Little Feat has had many different styles of songs over the course of their career. If you want more of a jazzy Steely Dan kind of feel - try Gringo off of their Hoy Hoy album.
Thank you. My favorite band. Little Feat was known as a “musicians band”. Greatly respected by their peers. Lowell was an amazing singer -songwriter. Oh, Atlanta, Rock n Roll Doctor, Spanish Moon are just a few of theirs that you would probably enjoy.
Until Lowell died, they were one of the greatest bands ever, IMO. After, they didn't work for me, even though they have tons of fans for that period of their music.
Too bad....Let It Roll was a great album. Put all of their catalog into either Gold or Platinum sales. It opened an entire new generation to the Feat. For that...in my book...it's the greatest LF album ever made.
OMG! I can't believe you reviewed Little Feat! One of my all-time favorite bands! I would bet anything that NONE of the other reviewers have even heard of them.
IMO...one of the greatest R&R bands ever...they mixed rock, country. jazz, blues into an amazing collection of really good music. Lowell had a great voice & his song-writing was on another level...& lest we forget, an accomplished guitarist too....the whole band had amazing muzos....Bill Payne on keyboards was the frikken absolute best honky-tonk pianist ever....great music will never die!
I saw them with The Marshall Tucker Band in mid 70.s. In Jackson Mississippi at Millsaps College Basketball Arena. Jamal the lead singer and Guitarist was born in Hollywood CA. Damn shame he died at 34.
Little Feat were musicians' musicians. Highly respected and praised by other bands as well as fans, they were one of the greatest. Their double live album "Waiting For Columbus" is consistently ranked as one of the best live albums of all time.
This reminds me of the first FM station to turn Rock where I lived. They only played rock for 4 hours a day to began with and the music you heard for the most part was what the DJ had in his collection. A lot of Little Feat and Captain Beefheart.
One of America's finest bands. The conga player, playing cowbell is Sam Clayton, younger Brother of legendary backup singer Merry Clayton(Gimme Shelter, Sweet Home Alabama). Take care, stay well, & ✌!
Check out Time Loves a Hero, Spanish Moon, and Feats Don't Fail Me Now....The entire "Waiting For Columbus" album is Fantastic!! I feel this band should be much more popular than they are.....Get them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame already!!!!
Dude!!!!!! My favorite Little Feat tune. Saw them in concert in Mobile over 45 years ago with Wet Willie, Blue Oyster Cult, Manfredi Man and the Earth Band , and Cactus. One fantastic night.
Sadly, on June 29, 1979, George collapsed and died of a heart attack in his Arlington, Virginia hotel room at the Twin Bridges Marriott. His heart attack was caused by an accidental cocaine overdose. A speed ball is a mixture of cocaine and heroin and then injected and it;s what killed John Belushi.
You tell me another band that could jam like this at 9 AM on a Europe run? These dudes were the freakin' bomb! And Lowell ... so autobiographical/prophetic!
In the 1960's, many sitcoms had a "Beatles" episode where a band of long hairs would come into town and the band would have a bug name like the Beatles did. For Gilligan's Island, it was The Mosquitoes. For F-Troop, Lowell George (the lead singer here) led a group of long hairs called The Bedbugs to Fort Courage. You can find it on RUclips....
I saw Little Feat live in the 70’s when they opened for Linda Ronstadt. They had the house rockin’! I believe she had a little fling with Lowell George (the lead singer) back in the day. Then they became friends and he wrote her hit song, “Willin’”. Another life that ended too soon.
Love me some Little Feat. Live performances can be hit or miss, I find that they can't always capture the same energy, but they hit it out of the park on this one.
My oldest son was Feat's guitar technician for about 10 years, up until about 6 months ago. He went to Jamaica every year for their Ramble On the Island fan fest.They recently fired their long time drummer Gabe Ford, who is guitarist Robben Ford's nephew. I've got tons of autographed memorabilia and pics of my boy with folks like Jackson Browne. Good stories, too. 😊💜💚💛✌️
There was a great radio station located in Raleigh, NC during the seventies, call letters WQDR. They specialized in "album rock." They certainly played a lot of Little Feat. This song sounded incredible on my ESS speakers!
Lowell George, singer, principal songwriter, band leader and producer, was a speedball fanatic who died of and overdose inspired heart attack at the age of 36. He lived every word he sang, and that's why he could sing the blues with such conviction. The band grooved in the pocket like nobody else.
Finally lol great reaction. Wish you had done the Waiting for Columbus album live version tho.( one of the top rated live recordings of all time) Sound is 10 times better.
One of my most favourite 70's bands, one of the best ever. Love tripe faced boogie, specially live on the 'waiting for Columbus' album. The change over from dixie chicken to tripe faced boogie is top shelf!
I love this band! I started listening to them when I was 12 years old around 1973 and they and the Grateful Dead have been part of the sound track of my life since!
Linda Ronstadt's version is better, IMHO, because she sings it, whereas Lowell speaks it. And the arrangement of hers is really worth listening to, and far more than once, studio or live.
Their best song is “willing” I noticed in the comments someone suggested Dr. John he was great his top radio songs were right place at the wrong time and qualified That’s Bill Payne on the piano he played with The Rolling Stones also let It bleed album I think
Lowell George was with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Frank did not like his drug use and drug references in the music he wrote but was very impressed with his talents. Frank encouraged him to form his own band and so developed Little Feat. Several Feat numbers have direct or indirect drug lyrics.

Little Feat was one of the most criminally underrated bands of their time. They deserved so much more.
Were they really that underappreciated and underrated in their time? They did pretty well commercially and certainly were critically praised.
Agree 100%
Evidently that holds true today as this is the only LF song he's done. Am unsubbing him if that doesn't change soon. I think we should all threaten him with a boycott if he don't get his....together
I was destroyed when we lost Lowell George. I was too young to see him in person. Then I got tickets and we lost him. I still wear overalls in his memory.

These guys are crazy under appreciated. Never got much radio play but always saw people with the cassettes!
Agree, not nearly enough radio play.
So true, you loved the vinyl for your apartment but you had to have them in your car as well
at the time of the AM/FM split, LF was more about their LPs played on campus FM

"On Your Way Down" was written by Allen Toussaint and recorded by Little Feat. Low down and funky. I know you would love it. Little Feat is one of those rabbit hole bands.
And if you branch off into Allen Toussaint, try 'Last Train' and 'Country John'.
@@dniehuser3760 And don't forget The Meters.
Check out “Sneakin Sally through the alley”. Robert Palmer fronts it but Little Feat backs him up for some straight up FUNK. I think you will enjoy it

Skin It Back and Spanish Moon are definitely my two favorite songs that they sing. I also love Old Folks Boogie, funky.
Give “Oh, Atlanta” a listen. Great tune to drive to.
Yes!! Shout out from Atlanta, Ga.😊😉🥰
"Oh Atlanta" from Waiting For Columbus is just fantastic
Oooohhh Atlanta, Got to get back to you!!!
I always thought an airline should play this when people are leaving a plane after landing in Atlanta.
All Little Feat is great to drive to!
Hey, thanks for playing the Feat. When they were at their peak nobody could jam like they could. I'd love to see your reaction to "Cold, Cold Cold."

😳 ... 🤣
The Package was a requirement in the 70s. Just ask Robert Plant. 😆
For a while in the mid 80's, I was living out of an old beater car that a friend was nice enough to gift me, spending some time on Dead tour and on the road. The car came with a few tapes, including Little Feat's Sailing Shoes, which I listened to relentlessly. Easy to Slip is the song that stuck with me the most.
Great song!!😊🥰
Easy to slip is one of the great opening tunes.
I'm Australian, 64 years old. My impression has always been that was what parts of L.A. was like in the early '70s.
It's kind of amazing that they got away with it though. I mean, singing about speddballs and streetwalkers and such on a t.v. show!
What's not to love about Little Feat.
I was lucky enough to see them when they came to Australia in (I think 75).I had never heard of them, but in those days in this country, if you were from overseas we went to see. Australia was at the ends of the Earth for bands.

You must listen to more of their stuff. Not necessarily for reactions, just for fun.
Lucky guy I never saw them and being from Perth we missed a lot of acts such as L. F..Did n't always make the journey West unfortunately.
Spanish Moon also a fun one!

That is one of my favourite little feat tunes
Yeah, it was a speedball induced heart attack. I have heard that Lowell was the fat man in the bath tub
Now if he'd followed it up with hash oil dragons on a foil, he would have been fine. Sort of.

You would love the Little Feat song "All That You Dream" from Waiting for Columbus.
which was the song playing on the jukebox in the final scene of the sopranos, just before "don't stop believing".
YES!!! Great song. It was inspired by guitarist Paul Barrere's relationship with Bonnie Raitt.
LOVE me some Little Feat! My mom's name was Juanita, and she about fell over the first time I played this for her, she LOVED it!
One of my favorite bands. I’ve seen them dozens of times. The tightest band live ever! RIP Lowell George, Paul Berrere and Sam Clayton
Sam Clayton is alive and very well. Still tours with Little Feat. You may have confused conga player Sam with all-universe drummer, Richie Hayward. Sadly, Richie passed ten or so years ago. One of the best , for sure!
6'5" - Great choice of some classic Feat!! So much shuffling groove you can't possibly keep your feet still!! 👍🏻✌🏼💯
Thanks for more Little Feat - one of the most talented and under-rated bands of all time. So unique and fun! Hoy Hoy!!

Gary, you must be one of the old GOODFELLAS from the WHFS days GOD Bless you
You Sir, have just witnessed THE GREATEST slide guitarist that ever walked the face of the earth! Lowell George.
Now, you're getting INTO the rabbit hole, cousin. Keep digging. It only gets better from here. HOO-yah!!
Are you referring to the old WHFS-FM?
My oldest son was Feat's guitar technician for about 10 years, up until about 6 months ago. He went to Jamaica every year for their Ramble On the Island fan fest.They recently fired their long time drummer Gabe Ford, who is guitarist Robben Ford's nephew. I've got tons of autographed memorabilia and pics of my boy with folks like Jackson Browne. Good stories, too. 😊💜💚💛✌️

Little Feat was one of the best rock bands in history…Feats don’t Fail Me Now = Genius
I saw Little Feat open for the Greatful Dead. It was like going from a Masarrati to a puttering Model T.
No band could upstage Little Feat.
Jamal - the great thing about your channel is you just naturally have a friendly vibe that makes people smile!
I think you've shocked poor Jamel.
About damn time. One of the best American bands of the 70's, criminally underappreciated. Love it.
Not a cowbell. A wood block. Best. Leo.
Yes, look again, was Sam Clayton on block but Lowell had a stick & cowbell duct-taped to mike stand
@@scotts.7662 You are correct, sir. When our host made the observation the camera was on Clayton. Best. Leo.
Miss all the percussion that seemed to be featured heavily and so prevalent then. 🤪 In love of music 💕 🎶
There was a great radio station located in Raleigh, NC during the seventies, call letters WQDR. They specialized in "album rock." They certainly played a lot of Little Feat. This song sounded incredible on my ESS speakers!
Ah yeah this is some damn good music!
Lowell George, singer, principal songwriter, band leader and producer, was a speedball fanatic who died of and overdose inspired heart attack at the age of 36. He lived every word he sang, and that's why he could sing the blues with such conviction. The band grooved in the pocket like nobody else.
Finally lol great reaction. Wish you had done the Waiting for Columbus album live version tho.( one of the top rated live recordings of all time) Sound is 10 times better.
Outstanding musicianship each and all!! Every time, every song.
I would suggest you look up "Fat man in the bathtub with the Blues" on Urban dictionary :D
One of my most favourite 70's bands, one of the best ever. Love tripe faced boogie, specially live on the 'waiting for Columbus' album. The change over from dixie chicken to tripe faced boogie is top shelf!
Feet Don’t Fail Me Now- is a great song to try!!!!
Thanks for throwing Feat some love.
Rock ad Roll Doctor
RIP Lowell George....
And Paul Barrere. ✌️
And Richie Hayward...
I love this band! I started listening to them when I was 12 years old around 1973 and they and the Grateful Dead have been part of the sound track of my life since!
I like Oh Atlanta and Time Loves a Hero and Easy to Slip. 😃
Say hello to Cerphe & Damien
Thanks for sharing this man little feat was for sure ahead of their time and it brings back all the memories 😬
Great song great band. Try “willin”. They had lots of great songs.
I've been asking everyone for months to react to Willin! It's such a great song.
Jennifer James I’ll be willin to bet he s gonna play it.
Linda Ronstadt's version is better, IMHO, because she sings it, whereas Lowell speaks it. And the arrangement of hers is really worth listening to, and far more than once, studio or live.
@@gj8683 can’t argue with that. Her versions are the best no matter who the original artist was.
Some of the best musicians to ever be in one band ever. been a fan since I was in my teens back in the '70's.
Their best song is “willing”
I noticed in the comments someone suggested Dr. John he was great his top radio songs were right place at the wrong time and qualified
That’s Bill Payne on the piano he played with The Rolling Stones also let It bleed album I think
My complements, Jamel. I just noticed you have listened to Little Feat, my all-time favorite band. Now I can’t wait to see your reaction.
Thanks, love Lowell!!!!!! Try your new Paul Simon cd gift, and the Beethoven & Judy Garland/ Good gifts!
Lowell George was with Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. Frank did not like his drug use and drug references in the music he wrote but was very impressed with his talents. Frank encouraged him to form his own band and so developed Little Feat. Several Feat numbers have direct or indirect drug lyrics.
