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. czcams.com/video/wSN2eLTCoDY/video.html
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.
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"
"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.
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.
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, & ✌!
"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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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 CZcams....
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!
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!!!!
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😊💜💚💛✌️
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.
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.
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.
This was from The Old Grey Whistle Test , the best British TV music show in the 70s/80s....The guys landed in the UK in the morning and went straight to TOGWT studios...Rock and Roll Doctor from this session is fantastic..I've no idea how they played this well in the morning!
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.
I'm a huge Lowell George fan. He, and the Feat were held in the highest of esteem down in the deep south where I'm from. I don't know about all you yankees, cowboys and sh*tkickers, to us they were/are golden. They're from Baltimore, which is considered to be a southern city, by the way. Hoy hoy.
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.
That guy playing the cowbell and the slide guitar, is the greatest slide guitarist ever. Lowell George. Lowell George was from LA. Little Feat was from LA. He passed away from overdose.
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!
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.
Two singers in a row that died young. Lowell George died at 34 from a heart attack. Sad. He was always a favorite of mine even before Little Feat when he played with Frank Zappa
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.
“Hey, these Brothers are cool as hell,”....ha HA! I had the same reaction the first time my Brother played Waiting on Columbus for me down in Mom and Dad’s basement back in 1981. Have loved the Feat ever since, a true Musician’s band.
Little Feat... another one of those bands that incorporates many different genres into their sound. Give a listen to the entire albums "Feats Don't Fail Me Now," "Waiting for Columbus" (one of the best live albums ever, with a much better version of Fat Man kicking it off), and even "Let it Roll" which was their first studio album after the death of Lowell George. I still listen to all three of these regularly, love them!

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

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
If you grew up in MD,DC,VA You know what Little FEAT is all ABOUT
@@matthewgray469 in Boston I swear I only heard about them never heard them.

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.
They had the Tower of Power horns playing in that one also.

Skin It Back and Spanish Moon are definitely my two favorite songs that they sing. I also love Old Folks Boogie, funky.
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

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.
I think when you OD on a speedboat you put the fat man in a bathtub in cold water . Was Loweell singing about past experience?
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.
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.

Long distance love - fool yourself - easy to slip - roll um easy - home ground - all that you dream - on your way down
LittleFeat..."SKIN-IT-BACK"!..&..."SPANISH-MOON"....Thanks-Brother-Jamel!!.....Unlimited-Blessings...:)
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.
This was from The Old Grey Whistle Test , the best British TV music show in the 70s/80s....The guys landed in the UK in the morning and went straight to TOGWT studios...Rock and Roll Doctor from this session is fantastic..I've no idea how they played this well in the morning!
Feet Don’t Fail Me Now- is a great song to try!!!!
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.
You explained for me what I didn't know, I been loving this music forever. I'm 64 & never couldn't understand their words. You rock, Jman!
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.
Lowell George was a musician's musician indeed.
At one time played with the Mothers of Invention and then Frank told George you need to start your own band
Must do “Willin” and “Dixie Chicken”
I'm a huge Lowell George fan. He, and the Feat were held in the highest of esteem down in the deep south where I'm from. I don't know about all you yankees, cowboys and sh*tkickers, to us they were/are golden. They're from Baltimore, which is considered to be a southern city, by the way. Hoy hoy.
One of my absolute favorite bands in the 70s. They were soo great live.
Still need to hear them play Spanish Moon off Waiting for Columbus with Tower of Power on horns
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.
I saw them on the Warner Brother's Tour, I sat in the front row at the London, Rainbow. They're been my favourite band ever since.
Classic song from an outstanding band. We will never see their like again.
I like Oh Atlanta and Time Loves a Hero and Easy to Slip. 😃
Say hello to Cerphe & Damien
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?
That guy playing the cowbell and the slide guitar, is the greatest slide guitarist ever. Lowell George. Lowell George was from LA. Little Feat was from LA. He passed away from overdose.
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!
"Tripe Face Boogie " by Little Feat from the Waiting for Columbus album.
Gary, you must be one of the old GOODFELLAS from the WHFS days GOD Bless you
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.
Two singers in a row that died young. Lowell George died at 34 from a heart attack. Sad. He was always a favorite of mine even before Little Feat when he played with Frank Zappa
There's a saying about Little Feat. Little Feat is your favorite band's favorite band. They're also one of the great L.A. bands
Thanks, love Lowell!!!!!! Try your new Paul Simon cd gift, and the Beethoven & Judy Garland/ Good gifts!
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.
“Hey, these Brothers are cool as hell,”....ha HA! I had the same reaction the first time my Brother played Waiting on Columbus for me down in Mom and Dad’s basement back in 1981. Have loved the Feat ever since, a true Musician’s band.
Little Feat what a treat. Give me some Georgia. Give me some southern creole everyday every way..jam jam on it.
You know what’s going on, Jamel! Glad you were kept safe from the bad things you grew up around.
Oh you have to react to Delaney & Bonnie! Live stuff is Great. (RIP Lowell George! Played with Frank Zappa before Little Feat......no small FEAT!)
Little Feat... another one of those bands that incorporates many different genres into their sound. Give a listen to the entire albums "Feats Don't Fail Me Now," "Waiting for Columbus" (one of the best live albums ever, with a much better version of Fat Man kicking it off), and even "Let it Roll" which was their first studio album after the death of Lowell George. I still listen to all three of these regularly, love them!
