I gather that this is not rated highly as a Little Feat album. But it's the only one I know, and I love it! Lowell George funks out, and the riffs are just the jazzy side of rock, with interesting little extra bars and odd time signiatures. Day at the Dog Races is still the (instrumental) highlight. The older I get the more I like Old Folks Boogie. And Missing You is a lovely poignant litle coda. Musically and lyrically it's a really rich and interesting set of tracks.

Little feat were one of the most touted bands of the 70's and literally blew headline acts on stage when they played as support.
This is one of the band's most eclectic releases with less input from founder and ace slide guitarist Lowell George, but more in the way of improvisational jazz fushion from classically trained keyboard player Bill Payne and guitarist Paul Barrere. Apparently this was a direction not favoured by George.
There is still more of the lowell magic, however, on 'New Delhi Freightrain' and 'Rocket in my pocket', but the stand out track 'Day at the Day Races', not pennned by George, races along energtically in a brilliant swirl of keyboards and guitars.
Although not as highy rated as earlier releases there is no doubting the sheer class of other tracks 'Red Streamliner' where Michael McDonald adds soulful vocals and the poignant 'Missin you' which ends in a pretty sublime note.

This is definitely the best LITTLE FEAT release with Lowell George on Guitar and vocals. - Starting with the Frank Zappa - Band, Lowell George formed Little Feat in the late 60s. This is the last studio release before Lowell George left the band. - This CD features one of the most important instrumental (prog rock) tracks of the 70s: Day at the Dog Races. - If you are new to this band, I recommend this album for a first-time buyer. If you are more interested in Live recordings, you have to start with "Waiting For Columbus".

Even an average Little Feat album trounces the rest
By now, the band's leader, Lowell George was steeped in the drug problems that would shortly kill him. Read more
