Hotcakes and outtakes

Album profile: Hotcakes and outtakes

Based in their original incarnation around the genius of Lowell George, Little Feat's legacy has left them overlooked by the general listening public, despite a wide-ranging style that embraces blues, country, gospel, jazz, and funk. This sumptuous four-CD set impressively chronicles this mercurial band's pre- and post- Lowell George journey with rare photos, essays, and track-by-track reminisces from band members, along with a disc chock-full of rarities and outtakes. Throughout HOTCAKES, it's hard to disagree with liner notes author Bud Scoppa's opinion that Little Feat is as rootsy as the Band, as funky as the Meters, and as cerebral as Steely Dan. Early numbers like "Willin'", "Tripe Face Boogie", and "Cold, Cold, Cold" find Little Feat going from eclectic country-fried boogie, to a syncopated New Orleans sound upon the arrival of Sam Clayton and Kenny Gradney, to more familiar fare like "Dixie Chicken" and "Fat Man in the Bathtub". By the time George cut his only solo album THANKS I'LL EAT IT HERE (represented here by "20 Million Things"), Little Feat were disbanding, but they regrouped in the late '80s as a straightforward roots-rock outfit, best known for numbers like "Let it Roll" and "Rad Gumbo".
